Truly Alive
Truly Alive
The best human efforts, earnest intentions and extreme diligence fall short of the glory of God.
But a man under grace is made alive in Christ:
” Therefore we were buried with Him through baptism into death, that just as
Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father,
even so we also should walk in the newness of life.
For if we have been united together in the likeness of His death,
certainly we also shall be in the likeness of His resurrection.”
(Romans 6.4&5).
We are either dead (the default position) or alive.
If we are dead, we have died to the Law and
have been freed from sin:
“Knowing this, that our old man was crucified with Him,
that the body of sin might be done away with,
that we should no longer be slaves of sin.
For he who has died has been freed from sin.
Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we shall also
live with Him.”
(Romans 6.6-8).
With the human body of Christ Jesus our Lord who died on the Cross
of Golgotha, the human impossibility of full obedience to God has
been replaced by God’s possibility of the new life in Christ.
We were crucified with Him. so that we can live with Him.
We have been taken out of the realm of Law
of sin and death, of human behavior and failure.
We are brought into the Kingdom of God’s Dear Son.
HALLELUJAH! PRAISE THE LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!
