FOUR CRUCIAL
REVELATIONS
Of The New Testament
(2) CHRIST IS IN US
uate El Sal™
ous problem
id. “I hope®
riser now th*
i wegotinvof
ve learned fe
El Salvadorf'
ietnam.”
The initial revelation of the New Testa
ment concerning Christ is that He is our
salvation. Thus, salvation is a person-Christ!
This salvation is experienced simply by re
ceiving Christ.
The result of our receiving Christ is that
He now indwells us and has become our life
(Rom. 8:10; Col. 3:4). Have you ever
realized this? Some have been genuine
Christians for years, yet have never seen
this. Nevertheless, Christ in us is the focus
and center of God’s salvation. It is for this
that we have been forgiven, cleansed, and
redeemed. No human words could fully
express the mystery of this great truth.
Christ literally lives in us!
This revelation of Christ within us was
taught by the Lord Himself in His earthly
ministry. Jesus said, “At that day ye shall
know that I am in my Father, and ye in me,
and I in you” (John 14:20). Formerly, Jesus
was only among His disciples, but “at that
day” (the day of resurrection) He was to be
in them.
The New Testament Epistles enlarge this
revelation. Although the Apostle Paul had
formerly spent many years in an outward
religion, he testified that “it pleased
God... to reveal his Son in me” (Gal. 1:15-
16). What a contrast! Paul was transferred
from an outward religion to an inward
Christ! In the same Epistle he also de
clared, “I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in
me” (2:20). What an intimate oneness! The
resurrected Christ who appeared to Paul on
the road to Damascus was now living in
him. Not only by his experience but also by
his teaching, Paul went on to show that
Christ indwells the believer. Consider the
following verses: “Know ye not your own
selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you” (2
Cor. 13:5); “Christ in you, the hope of
glory” (Col. 1:27); “And if Christ be in
you. . . the spirit is alive because of right
eousness” (Rom. 8:10, Gk.). By these and
many other verses, the Bible unveils that
Christ not only died for us, but also lives in
us.
After hearing that Christ is in us, we may
ask ourselves, “but how is this possible?” It
is possible because, through death and re
surrection, Christ became inwardly availa
ble to us as the life-giving Spirit. “The last
Adam (Christ) became a life-giving Spirit” (1
Cor. 15:45, Gk.); “Now the Lord is that
Spirit” (2 Cor. 3:17). As the Spirit, Christ
regenerated us at our new birth 0ohn 3:6),
and now “The Spirit himself beareth
witness with our spirit, that we are children
of God” (Rom. 8:16, A.S.V.). Furthermore,
as the Spirit, Christ is living in us and
transforming us from glory to glory (2 Cor.
3:18). A full experience of the indwelling
Christ as the Spirit will cause us to testify
with Paul, “For to me to live is Christ”
(Phil. 1:21). Surely this is the normal Chris
tian life — having this treasure (Christ) in
earthen vessels that He may be expressed in
all of our living (2 Cor. 4:7).
The remaining two crucial revelations of
the New Testament will be covered each
Wednesday for the next two weeks.
THE UNSEARCHABLE RICHES OF CHRIST.

MX missile opposed by farmers
Dallas computer firm still
pushing for Iran money
United Press International
DALHART — Farmers oppos
ing deployment of the MX missile
system in the Texas Panhandle-
eastern New Mexico area have
been the most vocal of the oppo
nents of the massive project.
The farmers have based their
arguments on the basis that the
project is taking up valuable agri
cultural lands.
The agricultural land issue has
been the dominant theme of testi
mony at hearings in Austin, Lub
bock and Amarillo concerning de
ployment of the estimated $33.8
billion missile package.
In Amarillo Monday, more
than 30 people lashed out at the
proposed system, which accord
ing to an environmental state
ment, could be placed in the
Panhandle and eastern New Mex
ico. The location is an alternative
consideration to a site in the de
serts of Nevada and Utah.
State Rep. Chip Staniswalis,
R-Amarillo, spoke on behalf of
Texas House Speaker Bill
Clayton.
Reading from a statement, Sta
niswalis voiced opposition to the
Air Force’s plan to take an esti
mated 80,000 acres of farm land
out of agricultural production.
“To take many acres of highly
productive land out of production
when there is a world food shor
tage is not prudent,” the legislator
said.
If the project is located in the
area, than more than 46,000
square miles would be used to
house the system. Dalhart and
Clovis, N.M., would be central
locations for the operation.
Potter County Commissioner
Mark Ensign, speaking on behalf
of the Commissioners Court, said
the MX system “must not be
placed here. ”
Ensign told the Air Force hear
ing panel that location of the sys
tem in the area will cause “great
destruction of invaluable agricul
tural lands” and will have “adverse
impact on this area, its environ
ment, economics and people.”
Ensign said taxpayers do not
support the propoed deployment
because it is not proven safe.
“They do no support this in
ordinate expenditure of tax funds
for an unproven gamble based on
the theory of the con man’s shell
game,” he said.
The Air Force panel is conduct
ing similar hearings today in Clo
vis and Thursday in Roswell,
N.M.

ated by Carter and ratified by
President Reagan, all claims
against Iran must be submitted to
a special international tribunal —
not heard in American courts.
Attorneys representing EDS
argue the agreement should not
apply in their case because, unlike
any other American creditor, the
computer firm had filed its suit
against Iran Jong before the hos
tage agreement was signed.
“We want this court to dismiss
the government appeal for lack of
jurisdiction,” said EDS attorney
Thomas Luce. “We had no doubt
that Congress intended for this to
be argued in American courts.”
However, the Justice Depart
ment argued the case cannot be
decided by U.S. courts because
the contract was made in Iran.
