” For when we died with Christ, we were set free from the power of sin. And since we died with Christ, we know that we will also live with him. We are sure of this because Christ was raised from the dead and will never die again. Death no longer has any power over him.” Romans 6:7-9
” Sin is no longer your master, for you no longer live under the requirements of the law. Instead, you live under the freedom of God’s grace.” Romans 6:14
It is far and beyond time that we as followers of Jesus Christ come out of the shadows of this world and stand up for what we believe. It is you and I who have all of the hard facts. It is you and I who are strong and not weak. It is you and I who have a solid purpose in this earthly life and we are to display the strength of that purpose through the way we live in our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. It is you and I who have the Holy Spirit living in us and Jesus standing beside us. The devil and his army are nothing more than silhouettes on the walls of life. There is nothing to fear from them except their deception, tremendous fear mongering and intimidation. They are there one minute and gone the next. It is time to grow our faith in the truths of our Lord and come out of the shadows that wrap us with fear and worry. When we do, we will begin to live in the light of Jesus. He will expose us for who we are, his children. Our faith will begin to increase, and our fears decrease. When we begin to cite the evidence of our Lord by quoting his scriptures and his promises, we will be seen as strong and not weak. However, the first thing we must do as Christians is read his word, pray, praise him and live our lives the direct opposite of the way the world defines life. This is not easy to do. It is a step of faith that must be taken, but if not taken, our lives will continue to be rewarded with intimidation from the world. It is time to come out of the shadows and step into the light of Jesus. Let all those around know, without a doubt, who you stand with and what you stand for. PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
