<p>&quot;<strong>Having nothing—and yet possessing all things.</strong>&quot; 2 Cor. 6:10<br />
    <br />
    <strong>How can this apparent contradiction be reconciled? </strong><br />
    <br />
    It is resolved thus—<br />
    &quot;having nothing&quot; <strong>in self</strong>,<br />
    &quot;possessing all things&quot; <strong>in Christ</strong>.<br />
    <br />
    And just in proportion as I have nothing <strong>in</strong> <strong>self <br />
      </strong>experimentally—so I possess all things <strong>in</strong> <strong>Christ</strong>.<br />
    <br />
    My own <strong>beggary </strong>leads me out of self <br />
    into His <strong>riches</strong>. <br />
    <br />
    My own <strong>unrighteousness </strong>leads me out of self <br />
    into Christ's <strong>righteousness</strong>. <br />
    <br />
    My own <strong>defilement </strong>leads me out of self <br />
    into Christ's <strong>sanctification</strong>. <br />
    <br />
    My own <strong>weakness </strong>leads me out of self <br />
    into Christ's <strong>strength</strong>. <br />
    <br />
    My own <strong>misery </strong>leads me out of self <br />
    into Christ's <strong>mercy</strong>.<br />
    <br />
    &quot;<strong>Having nothing—and yet possessing all things.</strong>&quot; 2 Cor. 6:10<br />
    <br />
    These two branches of divine truth, so far from clashing with <br />
    each other—sweetly, gloriously, and blessedly harmonize. <br />
    And just in proportion as we know spiritually, experimentally, <br />
    and vitally of &quot;having nothing,&quot; <strong>in</strong> <strong>self</strong>—just so much shall we <br />
    know spiritually, experimentally, and vitally of &quot;possessing all <br />
    things&quot; <strong>in</strong> <strong>Christ.</strong>
