Where in the Bible is the statement 'Christ in you, the hope of glory' found?
The statement 'Christ in you, the hope of glory' is found in Colossians 1:27. The context in Colossians 1 identifies it as part of the mystery revealed among the Gentiles, a truth not found in the Gospels or Old Testament but in Paul's epistles.
Les teaches that Colossians 1:27 contains the phrase 'Christ in you, the hope of glory.' He explains that such statements are not found in the four Gospels, the Old Testament, or the rest of the Bible except in Paul's epistles. The context calls it the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles, part of the body of truth known as the mysteries. Les then connects this to Romans 8:10, where if Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin, and he notes that this body will die unless the Lord comes to translate us.
