P. 37

To be accepted in the Beloved, is one of the most purifying
        truths in the Bible. When you begin to enter into it, it makes you
        humble, not proud.  It fills your heart with praise, awe, worship and
        adoration.  It’s the very key to your victory over sin.  It’s not the
        door to sin that lets you sin anytime you want.


        Glance at verse 4 & 5.  Be honest with me.  What good is it to
        argue over election, predestination, foreknowledge and adoption,
        if you’ve never seen that you are “Accepted in the Beloved”?
        Everything God has given to His Son becomes yours, by
        inheritance?  Volumes have been written on “the atonement”.
        Libraries on “the mystery of His will”, found in verse 9.
        “Dispensations”, in verse 10.  “The sovereignty of God”,  in verse
        11.  Untold pages about the ministry and the work of the Holy
        Spirit in verses 13 & 14.  But it profits very little, if you haven’t
        seen yourself in the Beloved, accepted in Christ.  To the degree
        you see yourself in Christ, and to that degree alone,  you enter
        into the wealth of your inheritance.


        Somehow Christians have the idea, that when they got saved,
        every spiritual blessing was dropped on them.  You don’t
        understand your Bible if that’s what you think.  Fact is, not one
        spiritual blessing was dropped on you, when you got saved.
        There’s only one Person, on whom every spiritual blessing, has
        been dropped.  You know His Name and I know His Name.


        “He has a name that’s above every name.  At the name of
        Jesus, every knee shall bow, and every tongue confess”.

        He’s, been blessed with all spiritual blessings, and you are in
        Him.  That’s the only reason, you have spiritual blessings.  He’s
        wealthy, and He’s rich. He’s wise, and He’s loving.  He’s dead
        unto sin, and He’s alive unto God. He’s triumphant over sin,
        death, hell, the anger of God, Satan, and every evil.  He’s the One
        that conquered.

        You’ll never find a verse like this in the Bible, “Be of good cheer,
        you, have overcome the world.”  “Be of good cheer,” He said, “I
