Alive in Christ

Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with Him, knowing that Christ, having been raised from the dead, dies no more. Death no longer has dominion over Him. For the death that He died, He died to sin once for all; but the life that He lives, He lives to God. Likewise you also, reckon yourselves to be dead indeed to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Romans 6:8-11 New King James Version

THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY’S VERSE…
Did you die in Christ so that you can live in Christ? We must understand that what happened to Jesus on the Cross that day happened for us. We must know who we are in and through Him. When we understand that it also happened already to us, that we were there on the cross with Him (by faith), then and only then will we consider ourselves dead to sin. Once you consider yourself dead to sin you will no longer commit it. You will realize that you have dominion over sin. This will only come about when you get real revelation knowledge (when you know, that you know, that you know, that you know, in your heart) of what Jesus did for you and not just “head” knowledge, memorizing and being able to regurgitate the scriptures is NOT revelation knowledge.

MY PRAYER…
Father, I pray that the eyes of our understanding be opened, that You fill our hearts with revelation knowledge of Jesus Christ and Him crucified for us. That we may know from our hearts (our spirit man) what happened to Him for us and that it also happened to us in Your eyes. Father, fill us with Your spirit that we may walk in the newness of life that only comes from the life giving power of Your Holy Spirit. Let that same life giving power that raised Jesus from the dead; live, dwell, abide, and make it’s permanent home in our hearts. In Jesus name I pray.
Amen
