What happened on the cross and at the resurrection? Of course Jesus died and rose from the dead, but what about you? When you place your faith in Christ’s death and resurrection you are changed. It is not a mind game of convincing yourself that you are different, nor an act of prayer, or of just believing something to be true. It is true. You are as 2 Corinthians 5:17 says, “a new creation, old things are passed away and all things are new.” The word reconciliation means ‘change.’ You have received the reconciliation.
Romans 5:11 “we also exult in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the reconciliation.” You are a brand new person. You have gone from sinner to saint, lost to saved, old to new, and death to life.
You are free! Free from the power and penalty of your sin. Free from the demands of the law. Free to live in victory. You are free from the guilt and shame of the past. You are free from loneliness. You are free from inferiority and insecurity. You are free from performance. You are free from the fear of failure and lack of approval. YOU ARE IN CHRIST.
Galatians 5:1 “It was for freedom that Christ has set you free.” Rejoice in your freedom.
I hope you find purpose for your life today as you grow in Christ. May God bless you as your spiritual life prospers in Jesus.
