1 Corinthians 8:6 Yet for us there is one God, the Father, from Whom are all things and for Whom we exist, and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through Whom are all things and through Whom we exist.
As we study the Names and Titles of Jesus, I pray your understanding of Who and What He is in our lives will be greatly enhanced. In short, Jesus is everything. From the beginning to the end, He is our all in all. Through faith in Him, we have absolutely everything available to human beings by God, the Father.
The Apostle Paul said it like this: Yet for us there is one God, the Father, from Whom are all things and for Whom we exist, and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through Whom are all things and through Whom we exist. (1 Corinthians 8:6) Let's look at this Scripture more closely. It clearly states that all things (including us) are created by God, the Father, FOR Him. from Whom are all things and for Whom we exist,
The second part of this Scripture states that without Jesus we have no access to anything. We must go THROUGH Him to have anything of God including our very existence! Read it one more time. and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through Whom (Jesus) are all things and through Whom (Jesus) we exist.
Therefore, when we make the statement “Christ is my everything.” we are not just speaking a cliché. We mean it! He is our everything because without Him………..we have nothing; we know nothing; we are nothing!
We are created by God for Him. We exist FOR God. Everything He creates is FOR Him and FOR His Purpose. That includes us; every human being on earth. He wants to use us to further His Kingdom. Everything has been created by God for His Kingdom, including YOU!
God has a Plan for your life as it relates to His Kingdom. This is WHY you were created. This is WHY you exist! You were created BY God, FOR God to do something to enhance His Kingdom in some way. Everything else is of no consequence or meaning to God. He concerns Himself only in the things of His Kingdom. All else is worthless in His sight. Again, you were created BY God FOR Him. This is the reason you were created in the first place and He knew you and your purpose before the foundation of the world!
The only way you can accomplish your purpose for which God created you, is through your faith in Jesus. He is your Way to living your life for God. Without Jesus, you can’t do it. Without Him, you can’t do anything pleasing to God. Nothing! Jesus said it! No man comes to the Father but by Me. (John 14:6)
In short: We were created BY God. We exist FOR God. However, only THROUGH Christ can we please God. That’s why we can say, Jesus is my everything; my all in all.
Understanding Jesus will……..….turn the tide……….in your world.
He is my everything, my all in all. Doreen
