Cry out and shout, O inhabitant of Zion, For great is the Holy One of Israel in your midst! Isaiah 12:6

The Church is symbolized by Zion, and its members are represented by the inhabitants of this mountain. We do not yet fully understand what God reveals to us as parts of the Body of Christ, although this is written in the Bible. The Zion of the Lord has the mission to bring to the sufferers the information of Jesus’ most important deed in our behalf, giving all eternal salvation through His death on the cross.

This work, done on the basis of Christ’s sacrifice, is sublime. Through it, those who are estranged from God obtain forgiveness of their sins and the much-needed change of life. What we feel at heart about us is like the voice of the Creator inviting us to take possession of it. Once we understand the heavenly message, we need not doubt or delay to assume what is ours.

Believers cannot have a sad, closed countenance. On the contrary, they should be cheerful and humorous, for what belongs to them in Christ is greater than their needs. Therefore, it would be good for all of God’s children to spend more time examining the Bible. In it the Father reveals to us His will. As you discover the Lord’s will for your life, assume and consider yours what you have just learned.

He who understands his position in Christ soon begins to exult. It lacks nothing to be and to have what the Scriptures declare. The devil and his demons can no longer deceive the saved. Having understood the divine plan, the servant of the Most High knows that he has the power to nullify the arguments of the evil one. The Christian life begins by understanding what belongs to you as long as you assume it in faith.

The inhabitants of Zion should be taught to take possession of what God reveals to them. Jesus did this in Nazareth when he read in Isaiah 61.1: The Spirit of the Lord Jehovah is upon me, because the LORD has anointed me to preach good news to the meek; He has sent me to restore the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of prison to the prisoners. When this occurs, we can sing, for the time we live is one of happiness.

We can only visualize the biblical passages that show us the wonderful plan of the Lord, because the Holy One of Israel is in our midst. It is not possible that God’s people are missing this glorious moment of the Church today. Throughout the world the Almighty will work more than He did in the days of Christ and the early Church (John 14:12).

Seek God and enjoy the power of His Name and His mercy. He who loves Him  becomes victorious. So see how you are living and fix yourself now. God is with you!

In Christ, with love,
