Alive to God

God’s love is real and living in His love for you is the definition of freedom.

It is what Jesus came for and was sacrificed for.

He paid a debt He did not owe because we owed a debt we could not pay.

Freedom in Christ is new life.

He demolished the power of sin but the pattern of sin in our lives remains.

In Roman’s 6:10-11 the Apostle Paul wrote, “When Jesus died, he took sin down with him, but alive he brings God down to us. From now on, think of it this way: Sin speaks a dead language that means nothing to you; God speaks your mother tongue, and you hang on every word. You are dead to sin and alive to God. That’s what Jesus did.” (MSG)

Jesus rose again from the dead to make you alive.

Alive to God.

Alive to hope.

Alive to freedom.

Your flesh, old nature and false self is steeped deep in old habits, temptations, and thought patterns that are set in it through years of experience and practice.

Knowing Jesus means that you are learning from Him how to live in a new way, to love in a new way, to think in a new way.

Don’t give up when it gets difficult.

You are free, it just takes time and perseverance to work out this truth in your life.
