The Revelation of Christ

It is only with the revelation of Christ that one can come into the fullness of Christ.   The understanding of this can only come by revelation from the Holy Spirit and not by any man.  With the understanding of this comes the realisation that Christ is all you will ever need.  Someone once said that Christ with something, is nothing, but Christ with nothing else, is everything!  Religion loves to add on extra stuff.  And this is only essentially because the full revelation of Christ is missing.  When one has the real thing, for example, you don't need types and shadows.  When you have the understanding of grace (Christ in you) you don't need some law put on you.  It seems today that Christ is not enough for many.  Institutionalism cannot help you find the fullness of Christ.  Many today, mix a bit of law (even church law), a bit of institutionalism, a bit of religion, etc with Christ and by having this mixture, one will never come to the fullness of Christ. Christ takes care of everything and the revelation of Christ in me brings joy, peace, rest, and every spiritual blessing in heavenly places that I will ever need.  Having a wisdom and a revelation in the knowledge of Him by the Spirit (Eph 1:17) is the heart of Paul's gospel.  The most incredible part of this message is that our old life is not saved but that we get a new life (new creation) which is none other than CHRIST LIVING IN US!  The believer had eternal life living IN HIM!  Galatians 2:20 says: 'I have been crucified with Christ.  I live, yet not I, but Christ lives in me...'  This is God's plan for you and I.  Today, more is preached on what God can do FOR YOU rather than Who He is IN YOU!  When God does not heal, perform miracles, "come through in time", a prophecy doesn't come to pass, etc, etc, then people become disappointed because they do not know Christ as He is meant to be known in the dispensation of grace, which is CHRIST IN YOU.  Often they get told that they 'do not have enough faith' or 'there's sin in your life'.  But in the revelation of Christ, we live by HIS FAITH! (Gal 2:20)

Understanding the revelation of Christ as your life is not just an add on or a sort of extra thought or something.  IT IS THE GOSPEL OF PAUL.  It is Christ becoming your all and in all.  God bless you as you pursue the knowledge of Him.
