Faith in the all sufficiency of Christ

A devotional written by A.B. Simpson with bold input by Robert Valdez

A precious secret of Christian life is to have Jesus living/dwelling within the heart of every believer and conquering things that we never could overcome before receiving Him. It is the only secret of power in our lives. Men cannot understand it nor will the world believe it, but it is true that God will come to live/dwell within us and be the power, the purity, the victory and the joy of our lives.

Salvation through Christ: Romans ch.10v9-10 "If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you shall be saved". For with the heart man believes unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. Verse 13 "All who call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved". Upon making this confession of faith, you become a born again believer, spiritually "death from the world to life in Him".

Our attitudes will no longer be, "What is the best that I can do?" but we will ask, "What is the best that Christ can do, in me and through me". Paul says in Phil.ch.4:12, I know how to be abased/humbled, and I know how to abound: Everwhere and in all things I am instructed both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need. Verse 13, I can do all things through Jesus Christ who strengthens me. We will go through tough times of adversity in this world but God promised in His Word, "He will never leave us, nor forsake us".
