48 Partakers of Christ
"We are made
This is the privilege of every true believer.
He is united to Christ—and he partakes of Christ.
He partakes of His cross—which saves him.
He partakes of His Spirit—who sanctifies him.
He partakes of His righteousness—which justifies him.
He partakes of His Word—which instructs him.
He partakes of His sufferings—which wean him from the world.
He will partake of His glory—which will fill him with unspeakable joy and love!
Christ is . . .
the life that quickens us,
the bread that feeds us,
the garment that clothes us,
the truth that informs us,
the strength that sustains us,
and the glory that will crown us!
We partake with Christ . . .
in all the honors of His eternal throne,
in all the riches of His grace and glory!
Christ is ours—and all He that has is ours!
Without Christ—we have nothing!
With Christ—we have all things!
We have . . .
His love,
His favor,
His fullness!
Wondrous grace!
Astonishing display of mercy!
