The Christian life is introduced and explained to us in the powerful little book of Ephesians. The Spirit says that we are, “Blessed with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ.” Ephesians 1:3 The Christian life is Christ, nothing more, nothing less. We are united with Christ, seated “in heavenly places” with our Saviour. In the mind of God, the moment we are saved, we are already in Heaven! That is the riches of His grace! We are seated in heavenly places with Christ.

A miracle of preservation in battle comes out of World War I that caused Psalm 91 to become known as “The Soldier’s Psalm.” The wonderful story is recorded in the books Life Understood by F. L. Rawson and The Mighty Hand of God by Katherine Pollard Carter.

Billy Graham wrote, "A few years ago when holding meetings in Germany, it was my privilege to visit then Chancellor Adenauer. After greeting me, he startled me by asking, "Young man, do you believe in the resurrection of Jesus Christ?" And I replied, “Yes, sir, with all my heart." He said, "So do I. It is absolutely the only hope that the human race has. I see no other hope for mankind except that Jesus Christ has conquered death. No other religious leader ever rose from the dead."

Right off the bat, let's get one thing straight. Your salvation is not accomplished by running this race or by your efforts. Salvation is won and secured because of the One Who finished His race at the Cross and said, "It is finished!" We are saved by faith in Him and born again by His grace through faith.

You will remember Jackie Robinson as the first Black man to play Major League baseball. In his first season with the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1947, Robinson faced venom nearly everywhere he traveled. Pitchers threw fastballs at his head. Runners spiked him on the bases; brutal epithets were written on cards and spoken from the opposing dugouts.

Do you have a favorite verse in the Bible? Romans 8:28 is a favorite of many believers. R.A. Torrey, Pastor of Moody Church in Chicago called Romans 8:28 " a soft pillow for a tired heart." "And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to His purpose." Surely this is one of the greatest promises of God in Scripture. We live the Christian life by the Holy Spirit when we stand on the promises of God.
