our heart (Ephesians
3:17). We gain abundant life through Christ in us. He gives us complete
freedom from sin and free access to His throne (Hebrews 4:16). We rejoice in Christ who is
our hope (Romans 5:17).

Spirit transforms us into the perfected image of Christ (Galatians 4:19). We no longer view our
self as a defeated sinner, but as a child of the King.

Prayer,
Father God, as You replace our identity as a sinner with the identity, which You give us in Christ, we live successfully because our Victory is in the person of Jesus Christ who dwells within us. We are no longer separated from You, but one with You, because Christ lives in us by Your Spirit. We are more than conquerors because You love us (Romans 8:31-39). We give you the praise, honor and glory due Your name.
Thought for the Day:

being within us. - Colossians 2:10
