The Scriptures declare that we are “dead indeed”, but nowhere do they say that we are dead in ourselves. We shall look In vain to find death within; that is just the place where it is not to be found. We are dead not in ourselves but in Christ. We were crucified with Him because we were in Him. We are familiar with the words of the Lord Jesus, “Abide in Me, and I in you” (John 15:4). Let us consider them for a moment. First they remind us once again that we never have to struggle to get into Christ. We are not told to get there, for we are there; but we are told to stay where we have been placed. It was God’s own act that putus in Christ, and we are to abide in Him. But further this verse lays down for us a divine principle, which is that God has done the work in Christ and not in us as individuals. The all inclusive death and the all inclusive resurrection of God’s Son were accomplished fully and finally apart from us in the first place. It is the history of Christ which is to become the experience of the Christian, and we have no spiritual experience apart from Him. The Scriptures tell us that we were crucified “with Him,” that we were quickened, raised, and set by God in the heavenlies Iin Him,” and that we are complete “in Him” (Rom 6:6; Eph 2:5-6; Col 2:10). If this is true then why are so many of us walking around trying to DO Christianity. What is it that prevents us from living the life God has all ready provided for us. Why don't we partake of the divine nature. How come we fill our minds with scripture but we don't let it affect our lives. Why do we argue about trivia when so many are suffering by not partaking what Jesus has all ready done? What do you think? |

I believe the reason that we struggle to live the life God has already provided and partake of the divine nature, but attempt to DO Christianity instead of Being is that we tend to miss the big picture. Have you ever heard the saying: It is hard to see the forest amongst the trees? If the Holy Bible would have a subtitle, I believe it would be " The redemption of mankind." This is the heart beat of God, to seek and save the lost. This is formost on His agenda and depending on how close or how far we are in line with His agenda will determine our journey with Him. I believe God's heart is on the billions of people who have never even heard the name of Jesus Christ. China, India, Pakistan, Afghanistan to name a few. We must not forget the most unreached nation in the world, Turkey. It is called the forgotten nation of world evangelism. I wonder when the last time we fasted, prayed, and wept for the thousands that die everyday without Christ. Or maybe led a coworker or a neighbor to Christ. When our heart begins to beat in rhythm with our Lord's for the world all the trivial things become dark, dim, and fade into God's big picture, The redemption of mankind. | ||||||
