God loves you so utterly and completely
Jesus Christ died for you precisely because you are sinful and utterly unworthy of him, and has thereby already made you his own before and apart from your ever believing in him.
Union with Christ 2
“What we could not do for ourselves, God has done for us. He has put us into Christ. Let me remind you of 1 Corinthians 1:30. I think that is one of the best verses of the whole New Testament: ‘Ye are in Christ.’ How? Of him [that is, ‘of God’] are ye in Christ.’ Praise God! It is not left to us either to devise a way of entry or to work it out. We need not plan how to get in. God has planned it; and he has not only planned it but he has also performed it. ‘Of him are ye in Christ Jesus.’ We are in; therefore we need not try to get in. It is a divine act, and it is accomplished.”
– Watchman Nee
Objective Work of Christ 2
“I am dead and buried with Christ, and risen too, and ascended…. God reckons me so, and tells me to reckon myself so. He knows best…. Oh, the joy of seeing this truth – I do pray that the eyes of your understanding may be enlightened, that you may know and enjoy the riches freely given to us in Christ.”
– Hudson Taylor
Objective Work of Christ
“That Christ has died is a fact, that the two thieves have died is a fact, and that you have died is a fact also. Let me tell you, You have died! You are done with! You are ruled out! The self you loathe is on the Cross in Christ. And ‘he that is dead is freed from sin.'”
– Watchman Nee
