Topic: Come Alive Today
Therefore, if any man is in Christ, he is a new creature: old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. – 2 Corinthians 5:17
Resurrection. What do you think of when you hear that word? Most people think of the past. Of a stone, you rolled away. An empty tomb. And a risen Lord.
Praise God, Jesus is alive today, isn’t He?
What we don’t fully understand is that He’s not the only one who has been resurrected. We’ve been resurrected, too!
We were spiritually resurrected the day we made Jesus Christ the Lord of our lives. That day, we passed from death to life. The more significant progress has already happened!
Think about it:t when you made Jesus Christ the Lord of your life, the Spirit of God hovered over you. The glory of the Lord came into your being. And that glory consumed the old, sinful man that you were. That older man died, and a new creature was born.
Oh yes, there will be a day when the earthly body you live in will be raised and glorified—but you don’t have to wait until then to be free from sin and from the sickness, poverty, and failure that goes with this natural world. You’re free from all that right now!
You may be sitting there thinking, Well, if I’m so free, why can’t I quit smoking? Why can’t I lose this weight? Why am I always sick?
Because you’ve let Satan convince you that you’re still under his power, you’ve let him talk you into living as if you’re still spiritually dead!
So, today, I want you to begin considering yourself alive! Begin thinking of yourself as one who already has the life of God instead of an earthly being who’s waitResurrectionResurrection. Consider yourself dead to sin and alive to the power of Jesus. You’ll find yourself living a whole new life today!
