Enjoy The Glory Now – Rhapsody Of Realities TeeVo Devotional August 4th

(The Sufferings Ended With Christ)

TO THE BIBLE: 1 Peter 1:10-11

“Of this salvation the prophets have inquired and searched carefully, who prophesied of the grace that would come to you, searching what, or what manner of time, the Spirit of Christ who was in them was indicating when He testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ and the glories that would follow.”

LET’S TALK

The prophets of old, inspired by the Holy Spirit, spoke about the suffering of Christ and the glory that would follow.

Guess what? Christ already suffered, which means we’re now in the days of His glory! You don’t have to struggle, thinking that suffering is a necessary part of your life. Jesus already paid the full price for you to live victoriously.

2 Corinthians 5:21 says, “For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.”

2 Corinthians 8:9 also clearly states that “…you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor, that you through His poverty might become rich.” That means no Christian has to suffer sickness, poverty or defeat.

The Lord Jesus took care of all that so you could live an extraordinary life! You don’t need to “earn” your way to victory — He already won it for you.

God loves you, and He has qualified you to be a partaker of the inheritance of the saints in light (Colossians 1:12). It’s your heritage in Christ to live your best to the glory of God. He didn’t create you to suffer. He proved that when He said on the Cross, “It is finished” (John 19:30).

Now, anyone who believes in Him and accepts His sacrifice is immediately welcomed into a life of glory. No wonder 2 Peter 1:3 says we have been called to glory and virtue. His sacrifice was enough.

Jesus came, lived, died, was buried and rose again. Now He’s seated in power and glory, and guess what? You’re seated with Him!

All He wants now is for you to enjoy the glory that resulted from His suffering. There’s nothing more you need to do beyond what He already did. Hallelujah!

Pray:

Dear Heavenly Father, I thank you for the gift of righteousness. I rejoice because I have your nature in me, which produces rightness in me and gives me the ability to stand before you without guilt, fear, condemnation, or inferiority. Your Word imparts confidence to me, and I walk in the boldness and assurance that come from knowing that my righteousness is of you. Hallelujah!
