Discover Your Riches in Christ

Discover Christ in this inspiring book by Dr.Lee C Turner entitled Discover Your Riches In Christ

When we received Jesus Christ as our personal savior heaven opened up, God pured out His lavish grace, and gave us everything there was to give in Christ. He, "blessed us in heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ" (Ephesians 1:3). Yet I wonder how many believers have discovered the riches they have in Christ?

After enumerating some of the riches in Christ that believers have, Paul added, "I pray also that the eyes of your heart (or understanding) may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is like the working of his mighty strength which he exerted in Christ" (vv. 18-19).

Paul emphasized that these great truths must be more than intellectual knowledge. Head knowledge must become heart knowledge. The "eyes of our heart" must be "enlightened" so the "riches of his glorious inheritance" might become a reality in our innermost being.

When someone says, "I see it " they mean they understand the reality of some truth. Something they knew intellectually suddenly gripped them and became a reality. It "dawned" on them and they were illuminated and impacted by it.
