We Are Dead, Yet We Are ALive

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

Today we are dead, yet we are so alive in Christ that we are eternally accepted! Through the power of Christ we walk in victory and power, faith and love, because we are accepted by God Himself. Pray for me that I am able to accomplish all that God has called me to do, and I will pray the same for you! Pray that we all really come to know this and walk in it, that we are accepted by grace, not by works. The freedom that comes with this is so powerful. “Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, then we have confidence toward God.” 1 John 3:21 When we realize that we are accepted apart from works, there goes condemnation out the window, and when condemnation is gone, there is confidence to take its place! Confidence that we are pleasing to God, because we accept what He has provided for us, complete and total salvation through Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior! We accept that He is fully with us, leading us, guiding us, helping us, giving us the spirit, the faith, the hope, and the abilities do so! We are not alone, we are accepted because of Jesus, and this brings confidence, and when we are confident in Him, than are we able to truly serve and truly able to be used by God to produce eternal fruit! Works do not bring our acceptance, but our acceptance sure will bring forth works! Hallelujah, that is good! We are alive in Christ and His power is limitless and through us God will do far more than we can ask or believe for and even far more than we can dream of, Ephesians 3:20! This is our accepted time and today is the day of our salvation!
