Are you identifying with Jesus?

“For if we have been united together in the likeness of His death, certainly we also shall be in the likeness of His resurrection” Romans 6:5

The sign of a Christ follower is united together with Jesus in His death and resurrection. He experiences the work of the Cross every day of his life. 

The believer lives the death of his natural life and is no longer bound by compulsive behaviors or the desires of the flesh. He has a new moral code built on the values of Jesus. He is free from the bondage of sin and walks in oneness with Jesus.

Jesus is a living reality and a strong presence in the life of a “born again” believer. He speaks to His people and desires to have a personal and transparent relationship built on faith and obedience.

The beginning of this relationship requires a man to yield his life to Jesus and make a decision to live for Him above all else.

This decision will initiate the work of the Cross and the believer will become a new creature in Christ Jesus. The Holy Spirit will begin the process of transforming a believer into the character of Jesus.

The Holy Spirit is sealed in a believer. He is the life of Jesus. We are instructed to give the Holy Spirit authority over every detail of our life. This will bring the reality of the Living Jesus into your thoughts and decision making. He will bring order and simplicity into your day.

The perception of Jesus will change from a storybook figure in the Bible to a living reality and your best friend.
