Romans 6:6-8 Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin. For he that is dead is freed from sin. Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him
To the man or woman born again, RIGHT LIVING is a normal thing because you have RIGHTEOUSNESS in you. It’s rather unnatural and surprising when the believer lives in sin.
When a dog barks no one is surprised because it’s natural for a dog to bark. But when a cat barks then we are alarmed – something is not right. The natural disposition of the child of God, who is born of God, is to show forth God traits: YOU HAVE ZOE IN YOUR SPIRIT; GOODNESS is in you; LOVE is in you; RIGHTEOUSNESS is in you…et cetera. BE MINDED OF THESE AND LET THEM POUR OUT OF YOU BECAUSE THAT’S WHO YOU ARE. Praise God!
The old life you had was nailed on the cross with Jesus by IDENTIFICATION and buried in the tomb through BAPTISM. When Jesus was crucified you were also crucified, and when he died, you died also. YOU CAME OUT FROM THE DEAD WITH A NEW LIFE BY THE RESURRECTION OF CHRIST, SO LIVE THAT NEW LIFE, AND LEAVE THE OLD ONE BEHIND. Praise God Forevermore!
GRACEFUL MORNING
