' [There are] three categories of men! In Egypt, in the wilderness, or in Canaan. I wonder - in which category are you? Are you still in Egypt? Then trust Christ now as your Saviour! By faith, now, apply the precious blood that He shed upon the Cross, to the doorposts and lintel of your own heart, and thank Him like a child that you are redeemed!
Are you still in the wilderness? Then repudiate your unbelief! Start right now trusting the Lord Jesus for that for which His blood was shed - that He might live His resurrection life in and through you, even while you are still on earth in the body, and thank Him that He is your victory, that He is your strength, that He is your future, that He is all that you can ever need at any time, in any circumstances, for "in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily, and ye are complete in him." (Col. 2:9 - 10a)
Are you in the Promised Land? Then your portion is to reign in life! To reign by One, Christ Jesus, and to know joy unspeakable and full of glory, to know His peace that passeth all understanding, to know that every place that the sole of your foot shall tread upon has been given to you, that you may be strong and of a good courage, neither afraid nor dismayed, in the knolwedge that the Lord your God is with you withersoever you go, for this - this is your victory, even your faith (1 John 5:4)'
(Maj. Ian Thomas, The Saving Life of Christ)
