(Nuggets from Colossians 3:11)
Today's verse unveils the beauty of the new life we now have in Christ. It is a life where every wall that once separated humanity has been broken, and one great truth now stands - Christ is all and in all.
In the world, people build their identity on tribe, education, status, culture and background. But in the kingdom of God, none of those things can qualify us or define us. The moment we are born again, every old label is swallowed up in Christ.
Paul reminded the Colossians that it no longer matters whether you are a Greek or Jew, circumcised or uncircumcised, slave or free, barbarian or educated. All the divisions the old covenant emphasized have been cancelled at the cross.
The old arrangement kept people apart with fences, partitions and ceremonies. But Jesus came and tore the veil. Now through His blood, every believer has the same access, the same Spirit, and the same standing before the Father.
This is why holiness is possible for us today. Not because we are trying to impress God with our background or achievements, but because Christ Himself has become our life and He now lives in us.
When we say "Christ is all", we mean He is our sufficiency, our wisdom, our righteousness, our peace and our power. So we do not run to other things to complete us.
When we say "Christ is in all", we mean the same Spirit that raised Him from the dead dwells in every believer. That makes us one body with one heartbeat and one standard.
That is why comparison, pride and division have no place among us. If Christ is in me and Christ is in you, then we are family. And the way we treat each other must reflect the life of Christ we carry.
Therefore, I CHALLENGE you today to allow Christ be everything to you, and allow Christ to be seen in everything through you. Your choices, your speech, your relationships and your services must not be driven by culture or flesh, but by the life of Jesus within.
A heart that truly understands this, will stop seeking validation from the world and will find fullness in Christ alone. And such a heart will walk in purity, unity and power. Because apart from Him we can do nothing, but in Him we have everything.
This is HOLINESS CHALLENGE
