THE DAILY BLUEPRINT - 7.1.09
GOING HOME
Part 6
2nd Corinthians 4:10
Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life of Jesus might be made manifest in our body...
The Christian life is one of death - yes you heard me right - We must die to ourselves in order that we might live for Christ - our life must pass away so we can allow His life to be made manifest in our lives - We must give up our rights to ourselves and allow God to have control - He will never force Himself on us - but will only loving guide us to Himself - He wants us to make the choice - He did not make us robots who just obey - He instead has given us a free will - we have a choice to either follow Him or not - He will never force us to follow Him - however He will allow things to come into our lives so that we will keep focused on Him and the life to come - this world is not all there is - When we give up our lives to follow Christ - He takes over - the old is forever gone - the new has come - in Christ we are brand new - so trust in the Savior - Allow His Death to bring you life - allow His Spirit to flood your life - and when all is said and done - we have lived a life that will bring Him glory! No matter what happens God should always receive our praise - Die to Self and now live in Christ! Amen!
Learning to die to self and live in CHRIST, Daniel<><
BUILDING MOMENT:
These lives are passing by - good thing they don't belong to us!
Because we have CHRIST - while our bodies ware out - our spirits will live forever!
7.1.09 - Building on the WORD
WHEN YOU DIE TO CHRIST - YOU ACTUALLY BEGIN TO LIVE!
