We Are Dead, And Yet We Are So Alive

"For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God." Colossians 3:3

The Truth of who we are in our Father and Who our Father is within us is so simple, and through the complete and eternal power of Christ we are so blessed! God does not say that we are dying. God says that we are dead and our lives are hid, right now, and at this very moment we are alive in Christ. At this very moment all who have been chosen and saved have had their sinful flesh circumcised away. Christians can mature and we will grow, but we are all new creatures in Christ right now, our sinful flesh was circumcised when we were born again, and we are one with Christ right now, we are not becoming one with Christ. We are complete in Christ right now. Through Jesus our bodies of sin have been destroyed, so just like Jesus we may ever live to serve the Living God! Everywhere we read, God talks about it being done, it’s finished, we are complete now, so we can serve Him now, so we can be used by our Father to witness now, so God can do His works through us now, so the world may believe right now!

My two daughters Kennedy and Lauren have a lot of growing to do, but from the time of their conception, they were Beth and mines kids, they are never becoming our kids; they never had to earn it, or even prove themselves to be, because they just were made that way. Beth and I were used by God to freely give them life; from the very second that their lives began, they were our kids! God is not making us His kids. The Prodigal Son was always the son. He may have left, he may have not appeared to be an heir, but he was always that dad’s son! No matter what Kennedy and Lauren may do, they will always and forever be my children, they can never change that fact, no action, no statement, nothing will ever change the fact that they are my kids and that they are one with me. Without my seed, they would not be, it is impossible for them to stop being my kids. No action on my part or theirs can ever change the fact that they are directly from my seed. That is the union we have with God, because we have been born again from His Incorruptible Seed! Our Father chose to have us and so we live eternally through the power of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!
