YOU HAVE BEEN MADE ALIVE

“For as in Adam, all died, even so in Christ shall all be made alive” 1 Corinthians 15:22

LIGHT FOR THE NOW: Eternal life functions in our belief system.

To be regenerated means your genes have been replaced with the genes of Christ. Everything in you belongs to God. The moment you receive Jesus, no part of you is left under the dominion of Satan. Colossians 1:13-14 says, “Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear son: in whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins”. Eternal life functions in our belief system. Jesus Christ kept the one time appointment with death (Hebrews 9:27). There is no judgment for any man who is in Christ Jesus. Romans 8:1 (NLT) says, “so now there is no condemnation for those who belong to Christ Jesus”. Anyone in Christ has escaped judgment. The world was already judged and sentenced to death when Adam disobeyed God in the garden. The mission of Jesus Christ is to save the world from the authority of death. Jesus speaking in Matthew 5:17 says, “think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill”.  Everything that belongs to Satan and his operation has been dissolved. Jesus Christ reversed all that was done in Adam by taking our place in death. Jesus kept the appointment of death on behalf of all of us (Hebrews 2:9). He did not just deal with the power of death, but He took care of all the principalities and powers.

Therefore, death is an option. You can choose to die or choose to live; the choice is yours. But, I advise refuse to die no matter what happens to you. Why? It is because you have been made alive in Christ Jesus. Everything about the first Adam is death and his children are everywhere looking for whom to waste. All you need is to be conscious of the life of Christ in you. My honest prayer for you today is that God will deliver you from the hands of unreasonable and wicked men: for all men has no faith (2Thessalonianas 3:2). The life you have is an non-destructive life because that is God in you and the life of God cannot be destroyed by any being. Christ took your death and gave you His life. Paul said in Gal. 2:20, “I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.” Maintain this confession as you step out today and you will see yourself operate in life even where you were supposed to die.

INSTRUCTION: Never lose focus of what Christ has done for you.

PRAYER: Lord, thank you for the spirit of life at work in me, in Jesus Name.

QUOTE: The Cross is the symbol of authority for all believers.
