Romans 6:5 NKJV
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 6:5 NKJV
As believers, many can easily come to an agreement and accept that we all died together with Christ on the cross.
It seems like to believe that all our past is buried with Christ is easier than to believe that now we can live united in Christ's resurrection.
It is actually the same as we died in Christ so we are alive in Christ. It is all in the MIND and how we CHOOSE to see it.
Sometimes we say we believe that now we live in Christ and in the power of His resurrection but do we really apply that belief in our daily lives?
Do we believe that now in Christ God has made us holy, pure, blameless, anointed, empowered, set apart and raised to sit together with Him?
Do we really believe the perfect sacrifice has been made by Jesus to present us perfect before our Father in heaven?
Sometimes we doubt this because we look at our feelings, we look at our surroundings and we look at the fruits of our lives.
God does not want us to look at the outward appearance, our soul and fruits of our lives to judge who we are but to look at our living Christ and believe that is who we are.
Living in the resurrection means living in the victory that Christ has won for us. It means death has lost its power over us.
This means we can do all things through Christ, have the keys of the kingdom and God's perfect love that cast out all types of fear.
Let us believe and apply the resurrection life of Jesus every day and in all situations all the days of our lives.
Blessings,
Ps Ambrose
