“But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved.”
“MADE US ALIVE WITH CHRIST” We know that we were dead in our sin, and that by His grace we are saved and have eternal life. But I want you to think beyond just the salvation aspect of being alive in Christ. Once we become one with Jesus and begin the transformational process of dying to ourself, HE fills us with His Spirit. The more we die to our own ways and the pattern of the world, Christ fills our heart with His joy. Have you noticed this? Our joy is made complete through Him and though we still have struggles and people that upset us or do us wrong, we still have His joy in our heart.
What does being “alive with Christ” mean for you? Reflect on this today… I hope to see you tonight at Fuel! Jim
“Alive in Christ”
Wow! Being alive in Christ helps me know more and more of my purpose on earth. Everyday I try to be “alive in Christ” by making each day memorable. Being alive in Christ for me is like living everyday like it’s my last. It helps me have a healthy relationship with God and to share that with others. GOD IS GOOD!
