"Made IN CHRIST"

2nd.Corinthians 5:17 "Therefore if any man be in CHRIST, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new."

     Most likely, you have had the experience of looking at items for sale and noticing the following labels: "Made in Japan," "Crafted in China," "Manufactured in Taiwan," "Tailored in Romania," or even "Made in USA -- Assembled in Mexico." However, one can find a "made in" that is never farmed out to another country, crosses all cultural and socio-economic boundaries, applies to every people and age group, and is universally needed by each and every person on the planet. The "made in" of which I am speaking is the label "made IN CHRIST." Every child of GOD is made IN CHRIST. It is amazing to realize that sin has unmade us, but GOD's grace remakes us. Today's verse tells us that we are new creatures, or creations, IN CHRIST JESUS.

     Contemplate with me some ways that we are "made in CHRIST:"

We are "made nigh" -- we have nearness to GOD because of CHRIST in Ephesians 2:13.

We are "made righteous" --we are "made the righteousness of GOD" in CHRIST in 2nd.Corinthians 5:21 (pictured above).

Our robes are "made. . .white," speaking of purity or holiness because faith applied the purifying blood of JESUS once for all in Revelation 7:14 and Hebrews 7:27.

We have been "made accepted" -- we are "accepted in the BELOVED," highly favored of GOD and graciously received of HIM in Ephesians 1:6 (pictured above).

We give thanks that GOD has "made us meet" "to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light," speaking of the sufficiency of CHRIST in Colossians 1:12. 

In addition, we are "made heirs" -- we have heirship "according to the hope of eternal life" in Titus 3:7

Finally. as children of GOD, we are "made Kings and Priests" -- GOD the FATHER has granted us nobility in Revelation 1:6. 

REJOICE, dear Christian - You are "made IN CHRIST." JED

Your servant IN CHRIST,

Julie
