I have been crucified with Christ!

In his letter to the Galatians, Paul writes that as a person who has accepted Jesus Christ as his Saviour and Redeemer, it is no longer Paul who lives, but Christ who lives in him.

Can we say the same?

Are we dying to self and living as if we are now alive in Christ?

This is a powerful thought.

We cannot call ourselves co heirs with Jesus if we are not living our lives as if we have Jesus Christ living in us.  We simply cannot go on sinning as before and behaving as before.  We have to stop and think about our every word and our every deed. 

Would Jesus behave the way we behave on earth?

If not, then are we truly living for Christ?  Being a co heir with Jesus truly means a complete repentance of our lifestyles.  It means we stop doing things the way we did before and start to behave as if we answerable to GOD for every action.  It means that we are sorry for the way we did things and it also means that we stop doing things which are not truly reflective of a Christ filled life.

Prayer:  ABBA FATHER, I thank YOU for giving me Jesus Christ to save me from my sinful past.  FATHER help me to live my life in a way that truly reflects that Jesus has come to live in me.  I humbly pray this in the Holy Name of Jesus Christ.  Amen.

Stay truly Jesus blessed today!
