“…giving thanks to the Father who has qualified us to be
partakers of the inheritance of the saints in the light.” -
This verse comes directly after the one we talked about here. We’re still talking about who we
are in Christ and the powers that reside in
us through Him.
Paul tells us in this scripture that he is giving thanks to
the Father who has qualified them to receive this inheritance of the
saints. Did you know that you are also qualified to receive the
same thing? You are!
Not only does God give us His very own strength in our time
on this earth, He also has qualified us to participate in a complete portion of the inheritance of
the saints of light. The light of the
Gospel reveals what God accomplished to transform the sinner (what you were
before Jesus died on the cross) into a saint (what you are since Jesus was
sacrificed on the cross of Calvary.).
God has turned us lowly, pathetic sinners into blossoming
rays of light. And, He didn’t even need
our help to do it.
When Jesus was sacrificed on the Cross of Calvary for our
sins, our whole countenance changed. We
were filled with light coming down from heaven; it enveloped our spirits and
souls, and brought us back home, because we had surely lost our way. The dirty was taken away, covered up by a
brilliant red cloth of blood, hidden away, never to be seen again. It was in this, in this sacrifice of God’s
own Son that we were given new life. It
is in this, that we are now saints of light.
You are now and will forever be a saint of light. No matter what you've done, or the secret
thoughts you have in your head about who you think you are, you are a saint of light. You are a mighty child of the living God and
in you resides a bright, clear, and spot free heart. Because of the Grace of God, you can now
declare your righteousness!!
Go on. Declare
it.
