When we realized who we are in Christ and stand in His finished work for us on the Cross, we cannot help but enjoy His blessings over our lives. Such is the blessing of 'no separation' that the Apostle Paul wrote about in Romans 8:38-39.
38 For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come,
39 nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Yes, Paul started the chapter (Romans 8:1) with the acclamation that there is therefore 'no condemnation' for those who are in Christ and now he ended this chapter (the original Greek bible never had chapter separations) with 'no separation' and in between, he spent the whole chapter expounding on the rights of a child of God and introduced to us the work of the Holy Spirit.
Indeed, if only we know what a privileged position we have in Christ and how secured we really are in the hands of the Father, we would be more victorious in our daily living. Each day, when we wake up and open our eyes, we need to remember who we are in Christ - sons and daughters of Abba Daddy - and to thank Him for the blessings for the day (I suggest we take small steps and do that daily first before we take bigger strides and go by leaps and bounds).
And begin to see the work of Abba Daddy over our lives in blessing us with every blessing in the heavenly places and then we end the day reflecting on all the blessings He had bestowed on us and we thank Him for them to His praise and glory. Amen.
