| Colossians 3:16 16 Let the word Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another [with words from Christ in your hearts] in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. [From the Word of the Lord within: "Let the word Christ richly dwell in you. If you give heed to my words, I will dwell in you and walk in you."] | Ephesians 3:17 17 That Christ may dwell in your hearts2 by faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love, | Colossians 3:15 15 And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which you are called in one body; and be thankful. [From the Word of the Lord within: "If all that profess me, would possess me. The King is where He is king." Unless Jesus orders all your thoughts, words, and deeds, He is not yet your Lord, Master, or King. You can call Him Lord or Master, but so did Judas and so did Hitler. To be your ruling Lord and King, Jesus must first appear in your heart to then guide and rule you; and His appearance only occurs after you have crucified your lusts, affections, imagination, and carnal mind on the inward cross of self-denial.] | |||||||
