What kinda ol' boy are ya?

Good morning everyone!! Another great day to be alive in Jesus Christ our LORD! God is good all the time, all the time God is good!

Galatians 2:20 "My old self has been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me. So I live in this earthly body by trusting in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me."

How have our old selves been crucified with Christ? LEGALLY! God looks at us as if we had died with Christ. Our sins died with him, we are no longer condemned.

RELATIONSHIP! We have become one with Christ, and his experiences are ours. Our Christian life began when, in unity with HIM, we died to our old life.

IN OUR DAILY LIFE, we must regularly crucify sinful desires that keep us from following Christ. This, also, is a kind of dying with HIM.

The focus of Christianity is on living. Because we have been crucified with Christ, we have also been raised with him. LEGALLY, we have been reconciled with God and are free to grow into Christ's likeness. In our DAILY LIFE, we have Christ's resurrection power as we continue to fight sin. We are no longer alone, for Christ lives in us - he is our power for living and our hope for the future.

Take time, ask forgiveness, praise God, ask and receive.Love you all.

In Christ's Love and Grace
