Good Morning,

If we have been crucified with Christ, buried with Him in baptism, see Romans 6. then it is no longer we who live but Christ now lives in us and the life we now live in the flesh, we live by faith in the Son of God. Galatians 2.20. So let us study to be filled with the knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding.  Let us walk worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing Him, being fruitful in every good work, strengthened with all might according to His glorious power for all patience and long-suffering with joy. See Colossians 1.9-10, for we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works which God prepared before hand that wen should walk in them Ephesians 2.10.

Good Morning,

Do not be conformed to the world; the world is full of empty deceit and wickedness.  The world hates God and all who follow Him.  The world listens and hears those who speak and do worldly things.  But we are to come out from among them, and be transformed by the renewing of your mind, for the beloved Son of God, Jesus has overcome the world. John 16.33.  By and through Him, we become God's children and He hears us, for He is the head of all principality and power; in Him we are complete. Colossians 2.9-10.  Love and trust God, for He is the only one who can save your poor wicked soul.

See also Romans 12.2;

Good Morning

Behold, I lay in Zion a chief corner stone, elect, precious and he who believes in Him will by no means be put to shame.  Therefore, to you who believe, He is precious; but to those who are disobedient, the stone which the builders rejected has become the chief cornerstone.  A stone of stumbling and a rock of offense.  They stumble being disobedient to the word to which they were appointed. (From 1 Peter 2.7-8).  In verse 9 Peter speaks to and of those who follow Christ (Christians), those who believe, obey in all faithfulness, he says you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation,  His own special people, that you may proclaim the praise of Him who called you out of darkness and into His marvelous light.  It is Christians who make up Christ's church (Matthew 16.18), the only church that was purchased by His very own blood, (Acts 20.28).

Good Morning,

Having been crucified with Christ, it is no longer I who lives but Christ lives in me.  And the life I now live in the flesh, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave His life for me. (Galatians 2.20; cf Romans 6).  Having said that, if Christ truly lives in me, I will have the same mind as He; that is being tenderhearted, loving, kind, merciful and forgiving.

Search Me, O my God, and know my heart, try me and know my anxieties.  Search the deep crevices of my heart to see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting. (Psalms 139.23,24) In Jesus name AMEN.

Good Morning,

Jesus was betrayed by Judas in the upper room. The other Apostles betrayed Him in the garden and at His trial. Then He was crucified on the cross at Calvary.   Jesus the Christ, the most innocent man who not once violated any law, God's or man's, but was falsely prosecuted and sentenced to die by hanging, not by a rope around His neck, (that would have been too sudden), but by nails driven into His hands, His feet, a crown of thorns crudely pushed on His head and a wounded side so He would suffer great pain.And there He hung between two thieves.  This He accomplished without a vile word, but said:"Father forgive them, they do not know what they do." and at the last said: Father, Into your hand I commit My spirit." He done this for you and for me, by carrying the sins of the world on His shoulders so we might be encouraged with a peace of mind, a settled heart, and a calm spirit.

It does not matter whether you are in Christ or lost in the world's affairs, know this we owe our lives to Him.
