YOU ARE QUALIFIED
” giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified us to share in the inheritance of the saints (God’s people) in the Light. Colossians 1:12 (Amplified Bible)
Â
A young man who is born again said to me, “I don’t feel righteous, my efforts are not enough and that is why I think I am not seeing the blessings of God. I don’t deserve happiness and cannot match up with the standards of this world”
He was saying these things with tears in his eyes. I looked at him in the eye and asked him if he is born again?
He was like, “I am really born again. Please, I also know the scriptures very well. I have received Jesus into my heart. I believe and know the blood of Jesus has cleansed all my sins. However, I still don’t feel qualified looking at my continuous mistakes”
I was moved with compassion for the young man. And I also thought, there could be many more people in this condition.
The challenge is not how you feel, the challenge is your level of understanding.
Understanding of what Christ has done for you and in you will translate into how you confront daily life situations. Don’t just be aware of what the Lord has done for you, make a decision to walk in understanding.
You are not who you are in Christ by how you feel. You are who are in Christ by what He has done. Therefore, you don’t judge the reality of your life in Christ by how you feel or by what you do but what Christ has done.
You don’t try to do good to be qualified. You are qualified to be a partaker of the inheritance of the saints in the light, by the goodness of Christ. You don’t get yourself qualified by your deeds and neither are you disqualified by your deeds. You are qualified by the Father through Christ.
Just as you are not delivered from the power of darkness by your self-effort, in that same light you are not qualified to enjoy your inheritance in Christ by your self-efforts.
Â
” giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified us to share in the inheritance of the saints (God’s people) in the Light. For He has rescued us and has drawn us to Himself from the dominion of darkness, and has transferred us to the kingdom of His beloved Son, in whom we have redemption [because of His sacrifice, resulting in] the forgiveness of our sins [and the cancellation of sins’ penalty].” Colossians 1:12-14 (Amplified Bible)
Â
What is the basis of your qualification to be a partaker of the inheritance of the saints?
Â
1. For He has rescued us and has drawn us to Himself from the dominion of darkness, and has transferred us to the kingdom of His beloved Son.
2. In His Son we have redemption [because of His sacrifice, resulting in] the forgiveness of our sins [and the cancellation of sins’ penalty].
So to walk in the reality of your qualification in Christ, you don’t have to look and live by the standards of this world. You don’t also have to look at your mistakes.
Â
” It is not that we think we are qualified to do anything on our own. Our qualification comes from God.” 2 Corinthians 3:5 (NLT)
Â
Did you see what Paul had to say about themselves?
The moment you begin to think your qualification is according to your self-effort, you are thinking outside God’s design of provision for you.
Your enjoyment of the glorious inheritance in Christ, is dependent on Christ and your position in Him.
You belong to the Kingdom of His Son, therefore you are qualified to enjoy the inheritance of the Kingdom.
