Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us” (Romans 8:37).

Out in the yard of the college, a girl was weeping uncontrollably. All words of comfort were of no use. She had lost. She was defeated. It was over; there was no more chance to change anything. On the list of the results of the final exam, her name was below the red line. So she was weeping and weeping. . . .

When such a loss occurs you think of the years, days, moments, and millions of opportunities to prepare that had been passed by. Oh, if at least two minutes could be recalled, how different would we use them? But now it is too late. “The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not saved” (Jeremiah 8:20).

Yes, we have an exam to pass. Praise the Lord, we are still before, not after it. We still have some time left. How will you decide to use it? If this would be the last day in your life, what would you like the report to say? Are you ready for the exam?

This exam will not be based on what you know, but rather who you are—a summary of your experience with the Lord. If you are fully in Christ, you will gloriously pass the exam. So, the only one question will be, are you in Him? Only this! Isn’t it simple?

”By His perfect obedience [Christ] has made it possible for every human being to obey God’s commandments. When we submit ourselves to Christ, the heart is united with His heart, the will is merged in His will, the mind becomes one with His mind, the thoughts are brought into captivity to Him; we live His life. This is what it means to be clothed with the garment of His righteousness. Then as the Lord looks upon us He sees, not the fig-leaf garment, not the nakedness and deformity of sin, but His own robe of righteousness, which is perfect obedience to the law of Jehovah. . . .

“We are not to be anxious about what Christ and God think of us, but about what God thinks of Christ, our Substitute.”—The Faith I Live By, p. 113.

This is the privilege that we have. To be admitted at the exam as Christ! What more could we desire? “Through His Son, God has revealed the excellency to which man is capable of attaining. And before the world God is developing us as living witnesses of what man may become through the grace of Christ” (Our High Calling, p. 108). Isn’t it amazing? Jesus declares, “ ‘All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth’ (Matthew 28:18). This unlimited power it is your privilege and mine to claim,” (Ibid.), to be predestined to victory. Let us win!
