Underestimating the work that God wrought in Christ is the sin of ignorance. Most of us are guilty of it.

The Pauline Revelation has never become a part of our spiritual education. Most sermon texts come from the Old Testament or from the four gospels. For that reason, we have underestimated the work He did for us. We have underestimated the work that He did in us, in the New Creation. And of course, we underestimate what He can do through us.

The secret of dominating faith lies in getting a true conception of what Jesus actually did for us, and what we are in Him as a result of it, and what the Word promises we can do as a result of His finished work in us.
 
Knowledge that is not acted upon is of no value.
 
You know what Jesus did for you in His Substitution; then you dare to act on that knowledge. That is the highest order of faith. Simply to admire it, to say that you believe it, but to refuse to act upon it, robs you of faith in the time of need.

When I know what He is and what He did for me, what actually belongs to me now, and what I may enjoy in my daily life, it makes me a victor.
 
When I know that Ephesians 1:3 is real, that “he has blessed me with every spiritual blessing in Christ Jesus”, and I know how to assimilate that, how to enjoy it, how to enter into the riches of it, then I appreciate my Master.

I am getting to know Him.
 
I am getting to the place in my spiritual growth where I begin to recognize the riches of His grace, and the riches of His finished work, and the riches of His own nature that has been imparted to me.
