A saved child of God
Galatians 2:20 I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives
in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.

When the saved children of God have the correct understanding regarding the blessing of salvation, everything can be enjoyed as a blessing. More important than the answers we can perceive with our eyes is the spiritual state through which you can receive answers in the first place. However, unbelief brings the greatest hardships to believers. If children of God are not deceived by unbelief, they can acquire a spiritual state that enjoys everything as a blessing. What must you do to enjoy blessings?
1. I have been crucified with Christ
The blessing of salvation of Christ dying on the cross means that the destruction that I had no choice but to receive in the past has also been crucified upon the cross with Christ. To be crucified with Christ does not mean that my existence has been terminated but that my status of receiving destruction has completely changed. It means that Jesus Christ who fulfilled all things upon the cross is with me. Problems of the past are no longer problems for those who have been saved by Christ. We must absolutely discover the answers within the plan of God who desires to bless us.
2. Christ lives in me
Because Christ lives within those who have received salvation, our fundamentals have changed and we are children of God. In addition, because the almighty God is with us, we have nothing to fear. We can never fail. From now on, if you set aside a little bit of time and begin to pray, your 24 hours will progressively change and, like Apostle Paul, you will restore the God-given strength to move this age. Also, you will enjoy the perfect answer within the most accurate time schedule, and you will receive the answer of tasting the greatest happiness within prayer.
3. I live in Christ
If you live in Christ, you can enjoy true peace that the world cannot offer you. Also, you can relay this true peace to everyone you meet. Those who enjoy true peace can acknowledge the absolute sovereignty of God in every situation they encounter. God already possesses the absolute sovereignty regarding our entire lives. Therefore, nothing is impossible and failure is not an option for those who have received salvation.
