ALIVE IN CHRIST
Colossians 2:13-14
"And you, being dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He has made alive together with Him, having forgiven your trespasses, having wiped out the handwriting of requirements that was contrary to us. And He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross."
Becoming a Christian is not merely exchanging the bondage of sin for the bondage of legalism. Some people were dead in their trespasses, but now they are dead in their religion. They try to live holy by keeping the law, which is contrary to us. So their Christian life is a continual struggle of controlling the flesh. I know because I've been there. When Christ forgives our sins, we are alive in His freedom. The bondage of sin and the bondage of legalism were both nailed to the cross. We live in His resurrection. Hallelujah!!!!
TODAY'S THOUGHT: Life in Christ is more than just controlling our sinful flesh; it is being alive in Christ's resurrected life.
Have an alive day. Love you.
