Day 11 - Because I'm Clothed with Christ all Things that He Has are Mine.

Galatians 3:26-29 (KJV) ... For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.
As believers, we are clothed with Christ, and through our union with Him, we become coheirs of all the promises and blessings that God has bestowed upon His beloved Son. This divine inheritance is not based on our own merits, but solely on our relationship with Christ, who is the obedient son of God and the heir of all things. When we are baptized into Christ and put Him on, we share in His position, His relationship with the Father, and His riches, which are “unsearchable” (Eph 3:8). Our understanding of this truth will deepen as we mature in our faith, with Christ becoming our ultimate point of reference.

  • Hebrews 1:2 (KJV) Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;
  • Colossians 2:9-10 (KJV) For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power:

  • Galatians 3:26-29 (KJV) For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.

Prayer / Confession

Father, I thank You for making me a co-heir with Christ and reckoning me as Christ Himself with all His accesses and privileges. I thank You that my identity in Christ defines who I am as a believer. I confess that I am not just saved by grace, but I am seated with Christ in heavenly places. I declare that I am clothed with Christ, and His righteousness is my righteousness. I confess that I am not struggling to earn Your blessings or favor because I have them all already. I thank You that my position in Christ is secure, and I can confidently come to the throne of grace to receive all that You have in store for me. Help me to always remember who I am in Him and to stand firm on His promises. In Jesus' name, Amen.
