Colossians 3:3

For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God.

 

Once born again you come into a safe place in Christ. A place where you become a new creation and you are now hidden. Secure. Never to be removed from His hand.

 

John 10:28

…and I give eternal life to them, and they will never perish; and no one will snatch them out of My hand.

 

Hidden in Christ is a way that provides a new way of life, a new purpose, a clean slate. Yet, certainly, we are still in need of the purifying fire that keeps forging us into more of His likeness.

 

From now on you are covered by the blood of Jesus. Hidden in Him. You’ve become a child of God brought back to Him where you were born into sin until you allowed Him to become your sin, for you.

 

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

 

He begins to teach you and you will begin to hear His voice when He is speaking to your heart. You’ll have to cultivate your relationship with Him by spending time with Him, sharing your heart with Him, reading His Word and instruction manual and worshiping Him for the God that He is.

 

John 10:27 says, My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.

 

He has of course become a Savior to you, but so much more, indeed.

 

Hidden in Christ as you are is an adventure to finding who you were designed to be. Sitting with Him regularly will help unfold your ordained purpose upon this earth. There have been good works stored up for you to do.

 

Ephesians 2:10

For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.

 

Others may be gifted to see who Jesus designed you to be or you may have some kind of clue in the way you feel or move in giftings and talents but only the ONE you’re hidden in has a firm grasp of who you actually are.

 

Jeremiah 1:5 says, “Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you…

 

The Lord is the one who knit you together in your mother’s womb. Chosen on purpose for purpose. A co-heir with Christ seated in Heavenly places should you decide one day to follow King Jesus.

 

I had a sweet moment with my grand-daughter this past weekend. She saw a tiara I keep on display and asked if that was my princess crown. Then she said, “I want to be a princess.”

 

Woohoo. The open door.

“Well babe, the moment you received Jesus into your heart you became a royal princess.”

 

My grand: “you mean I’m a real princess?”

 

Me: You sure are. You have been given a royal inheritance as a royal priest by the King of Glory. You are now His servant and made for a mission that He has designed just for you.

 

I wish every adult had the same joy she shined in that moment. For we have taken much of our inheritance and simply squandered it for so many things of much lesser to no value.

 

Hidden in Christ is an inheritance for you. While Christ is the pearl of great price and He, in essence, is the promised land please be sure you are here for a reason. There is life to its fullest even after salvation.

 

When you come to Christ you’re walking through The Door straight into His heart. It’s like entering a deep and wide wardrobe closet of possibilities that only He fathoms. He gives you a robe of righteousness and dresses you with a brand new attire for the work He has called you to.

 

As we error, and at times become prodigals, Jesus waits to meet us again. Patiently He sees every ounce of struggle and desires you to “come to yourself.” He pre-made plans to draw you back to Himself. He is a good Father with His eye always on those He loves.

 

It’s a wonderful mystery to be “hidden in Him” yet never “hidden from Him.”

 

Something I think we might not fully understand until we arrive to our final destination with Christ.
