"Because of our faith, Christ has brought us into this place of undeserved privilege where we now stand, and we confidently and joyfully look forward to sharing God's glory." - Romans 5:2 (NLT)
What a blessing! Christ has done it all! He has brought us into a place of great undeserved privilege! When the grateful Christian realizes what Jesus Christ did 2,000 years ago, the awesomeness of it all revives the soul. Isn't is just amazing that Christ made us to "stand" in this new place where we are? We stand in this new position of righteousness which we enjoy with God, this new seat next to Christ in the heavenly places, this new position of "the justified", this new position of being a member of the household of faith... yes, we stand.
It's also invigorating to know that we have a hope in this new position, the confident and joyful hope of sharing in God's glory. What a blessing indeed! We are partakers of His nature and we shall be partakers of His glory. THANK YOU JESUS!
