Christ has His way in us, are shown in:

To the seeker for further Scripture help the
writer would suggest a plan that has proved a
great blessing to herself.
Read the Psalms through, making careful record of
all the statements of what the Lord was to the
writers of the Psalms. The list will surprise you.
Then on your knees go over them one by one, with
the prayer that Christ may be to you what he was
to David and the others.
Take a Cruden's, or better still a Young's,
concordance and look up the texts under such
headings as Love, Fulness, Power, Riches, Grace,
etc., grouping them into usable Bible studies. As
a sample, taking this last word, "grace"; the more
one studies it the more wonderful does it become.
Here are some of these headings:
Grace for grace.--John 1:16.
Sufficient grace.--2 Cor. 12:9.
More Grace.--James 4:6.
All Grace.--2 Cor. 9:8.
Abundant grace.--Rom. 5:17.
Exceeding abundant grace.--1 Tim. 1:14.
Exceeding riches of His grace.--Eph. 2:17.
But let us remember that to simply know of riches
will never materially benefit us. We must make
them our own. All fulness dwells in Christ. It is
only as we "apprehend" (which means take hold or
take in) Christ through the Holy Spirit can it be
possible for these spiritual riches to become
ours. The slogan of this glorious life in Christ
is just "Let go and let God."
