IF THEN you have been raised with Christ [to a new life,
The WORD of God reminds me that the Apostle Paul was formerly a Pharisee, a teacher of The Law, which Christ spoke of as being dead and unclean.
Death reigned over men, as the curse resulting from sin against God and HIS Law, yet God's Provision of HIS Son as a Living Sacrifice, made restitution for my soul.
Because of Christ, I like Paul, have been cleansed by HIS Precious Blood, receiving HIS Spirit of Life, which transformed me spiritually from a 'DEAD' man, into a man forgiven, restored and saved from death and the eternal punishment of God's Judgement against sin.
Knowing everything about God and HIS Law, like the Pharisee Paul did prior to his Damascus road 'Consultation with Christ', forever changed his Understanding of God's Purpose for mankind.
Eternal Life in Christ became reality at HIS Resurrection, where a 'DEAD' man came back to life, raised from the grave by Holy Spirit, God's Gift of Power and Life.
Believers in Christ, are commanded to be a Portrait of the Holy and Righteous One, who is seated at God's right hand, being both Witnesses and a Testimony to HIS Forgiveness and Saving Grace.
More of who Christ IS to me!
MORE like HIM,
Some day SOON, with HIM I will BE!!!
