Spiritual Amnesia

years ago Joyce Meyer published an extensive list outline exactly who the Bible says we are when we are “IN CHRIST.”  If you’re like me, you may wonder through life with Spiritual Amnesia forgetting who we are. 

            So on days when you don’t feel bright remember 1 Cor. 2:16 promises that you have Christ’s mind.   When you feel half dead don’t forget Eph. 2:5 confirms we have life in Him.  Philippians 4:17 assures me that we have peace in Jesus that surpassing understanding.  When I feel insignificant Romans 8:17 guarantees that I’m a joint-heir with Christ.  What’s more Ephesians 2:10 tells me that I’m His workmanship created in Christ for good works.  When I long for a makeover 2 Cor. 5:17 declares that I’m already a new creature in Christ.   If I start to feel depressed Eph. 2:6 reminds me that I’m raised up and seated with Christ in heavenly places.  Lest I feel confused, 2 Timothy 1:7 pledges that I have power, love and a sound mind.   And if after knowing all this still feel overwhelmed, Romans 8:37 comforts me by proclaiming that I am more than a conqueror in Christ.

            I’ve heard Joyce say many times that we are all just “Everything Nothings.”  What she means is through our position, IN CHRIST  we have everything, yet apart from Christ we are nothings.   C.S. Lewis once said, “The Christian does not think God will love us because we are good, but that God will make us good because He loves us; just as the roof of a sun-house does not attract the sun because it is bright, but becomes bright because the son shines on it.”   Have a great evening.
