<p>1:27 <i>T</i><i>o whom God was pleased to make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles- which is Christ in you</i><i>, the hope of glory</i>- At baptism, the &ldquo;new man&rdquo; was created within us; the man Christ Jesus was formed in us, a new birth occurred, the real, essential Duncan or Dave or Deirdre or Danuta became potentially at least &lsquo;Jesus Christ&rsquo;, &ldquo;Christ in you, the hope of glory&rdquo; (Col. 1:27). This is how important this matter is. Perceiving the Christ-man within yourself is related to your &ldquo;hope of glory&rdquo;; this is the assurance of our future salvation, through which we can have all joy and peace through believing.</p>
