made provision whereby people can step out of Adam into Christ. Once you are in Him, God reckons to you all that He reckoned to Christ. You step out of Adam into the Saviour. Just say, “Lord Jesus, I’m a sinner. You died for people like me. I am so thankful. I give myself to you.” At that very moment God will save you completely. To abide in Christ means first of all that we must be certain we are in Christ. Do you know what it means to have been judged already in Christ? As fa r as God is con cerned, you were crucified there with Him on the cross. You have been buried with Him to come forth in newness of life. The next thing about abiding is to enjoy it. The Bible tells us, “Blessed be tiie God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heav enly places in Christ.” Are you set tling down and enjoying all that is yours in Christ? Do you possess all the things the Spirit of God wants to give you? You don’t need to go around asking God for more. He has given them all to you in Christ. If you are not abiding in Him, you can be sure that there will be no fru it in your life. When one receives Christ, he doesn’t receive a thing, but a Person, the Saviour in whom dwelleth all the full ness of the Godhead bodily. I t is very possible to have Him and yet not let Him abide in us. Perhaps in your case it was because you never grasped who it was you really received. Say to Him, “Lord Jesus, I'm available to You! I expect nothing less than You to do Your work through me since I’m abiding in You and You’re abiding in me. Thank you, Lord Jesus.” As a result there will be much peace. In addition, there will be many people who will find Christ as Saviour be cause you have let the eternal “I AM” loose in your'life. Blessing will be in evitable for you. May God bless you richly is my sincere and earnest prayer. * * * An egotist it really an " I " specialist.
