The Benefits Of Having Jesus Christ Indwelling You

Do you have Jesus Christ inside of you? When you have Jesus you have everything, He is the greatest asset to have in life. As a child of God, the greatest news is that He dwells in you. This post gives the benefits of having Christ dwelling within you.

You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world - I John 4:4 (NKJV).

For in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily; and you are complete in Him, who is the head of all principality and power - Colossians 2:9-10 (NKJV).

But to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God - I Corinthians 1:24 (NKJV).

What kind of life are you expected to live and enjoy having received Jesus as your saviour? The answer is the life of Jesus. God expects you to live as a son of God on earth being co-heir with Christ (Romans 8:17). This is possible if you understand and believe in what it means to have Jesus dwelling within you and you activate it by faith. He is in you fully with all that He is, not just a part of Him. Truly, when you have Jesus you have everything. Now, it doesn't mean that you will not have challenges. It means that when these challenges come, victory is surely yours because of Christ in you. In-fact, challenges are opportunities to show case who you carried inside of you at redemption, they are not meant to drown or overcome you.

Who indwelt you at redemption and the benefit

1. The greater one (1 John 4:4)
Jesus is greater than the devil that is in the world. When you are carrying the greater one and you walk in the knowledge of it, who is it that will challenge you and win? An understanding of this gives you the overcomer's mentality. The greater one is inside of you!

2. The fullness of the Godhead (Colossians 2:9)
In Christ dwells the fullness of God bodily and He is in you fully. This means all of God is in you. Try to imagine who you are carrying: the creator of the whole universe, the Almighty God, the healer, the provider, refuge, strong tower, wonderful, counsellor, etc. This is true; God is fully inside of you.
