“I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.” Galatians 2:20
The gift of Jesus comes with the reality of the Cross. You cannot escape the Cross if you want to walk with Jesus. Without the Cross, there is nothing.
Jesus came to lose His life for all mankind. He died for all sin and was resurrected so you can live in the power of His Living Water forever.
The Cross is painful and humbling. You see yourself through the eyes of God and realize you have a corrupt and unclean soul and can never match up to the standards of God. Your motives are not for God. They are for self.
You make a decision for Jesus and this begins the process of death and new life. You die to your old self and begin to live for Jesus. The miracle of salvation is you have a redeemer who forgives all your sin and restores you to God. You live with Jesus forever!
The Cross cancels all the laws of religion and brings you into a faith covenant with Jesus. This is the cornerstone of your walk with God. You are judged by your faith and obedience to God and never by your works.
If you want the fullness of God you have to be open and transparent to the work of the Holy Spirit. He convicts you of sin and causes you to examine your motives and decision making.
The Cross causes you to transfer your hope from the world to the promises of God. You find security in Christ Jesus who has power and dominion over all things.
Welcome the Cross into your life. It is life changing and eternal and will bring you face to face with the Living God.
Jesus lives so you can live!
