CRUCIFIED WITH CHRIST JESUS!

” MY OLD SELF HAS BEEN CRUCUFIED WITH CHRIST. IT IS NO LONGER I WHO LIVE BUT CHRIST LIVES IN ME. ” GALATIONS 2:20

Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, went to hell and back for you and me. He was persecuted, beaten severely, spit upon, nailed to the cross, humiliated and died so that we could live. It is through his love for us that we are able to enjoy the time we have on this earth. The scripture tells us that as born-again believers we are a new creature. Our lives change, our thoughts change and our way of thinking changes. It is no longer our old self but our new self with our new tenant living within us. When we accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior, He moves in. He is a permanent resident. In the presence of the Holy Spirit, he directs us, helps us, speaks to us and protects us from the world going on around us. It is by faith that we are able to live lives of strength and power. It is by faith that we are healed and saved and forgiven. When Jesus went to that cross, we died with him. He took our sins and our hurts and placed them upon himself so that we could live. He loved us and still loves us. Let us all be obedient to him with praise and thanksgiving. PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL SITUATIONS!
