Christianity is having a relationship with Christ. This relationship is done by faith, for we can do nothing to receive this salvation but believe, but believe we must.

For our salvation is open to all through faith...Faith in God and faith in what Christ said He accomplished on the cross for us...Which was His death and resurrection. We are to believe that His death and resurrection is our death and resurrection. We are to believe into this....

Believing in our deaths and resurrection in Christ. Both are necessary to believe into, if we are to walk in this newness of life scripture speaks of....By believing in them, by believing into them, we make them our own by faith...Our death and resurrection in Christ so we can walk in this newness of life before Him..

Believing into our deaths and resurrection in Christ, is how we work out our salvation in Christ. For it is actually a work. It is something we choose to do by an act of our wills.. We believe into our salvation.

Scripture says, the just shall live by faith. From stem to stern our salvation all comes through faith. But faith is a choice, a conscious act of the will, a choosing to believe what we read in scripture pertaining to our salvation. A believing into those things we read in scripture...Christ is the Savior of all mankind, we are to believe in Him, we are to believe into the salvation that He purchased for us with His death and resurrection on the cross...

Christ died on the cross to fulfill the law concerning us...To died the death that was ours to die, to go through death so we wouldn’t have to. He as scripture says; tasted death for every man.. This is the foundation of our salvation, Christ’s death and resurrection on the cross for us.

We by faith are to believe into this death of Christ on the cross as the first step and believe into His resurrection as the second....Reckon ourselves dead unto sin, first step, alive unto God, second step... This is an act of our wills, a conscious choice we make with our wills. We choose to be joined with Christ on the cross, we choose to be dead in Christ. We choose to be dead to sin and then we choose to be alive unto God by a choice of our wills. We choose to believe into our deaths and resurrection in Christ..

For this growing in Christ is not a one time believing, but a constant faith of the heart turned towards Christ’s death on the cross as our death on the cross with Him. Then with the same faith we trust God to live His life in us and through us....This believing into our deaths and then our resurrection in Christ is our walking before Him in faith..

This is what scripture calls our reasonable service. To present our bodies before Him as those that our alive from the dead..This is all done by the faith of the heart turned towards our death then our resurrection in Christ...

This is where the struggle is, where the work is..To choose to be dead on the cross with Christ when our selves would not want to. This is the denying of self that we read about in scripture...A conscious choice to choose to be dead to ourselves moment by moment as we go through our day...To be dead to our wills, to be dead to our understanding, to be dead to our very selves. To hide ourselves in the death of Christ..

We believe into our deaths in Christ, knowing that we were called out of unrighteousness into righteousness. And this righteousness does exist and it is this righteousness that we can not see but we know by faith exists, which is the alive unto God that we are told is the next step after the reckoning ourselves dead.. We believe in Christ by believing into Christ. We believe into Christ by believing into our deaths with Him..Than we believe into this righteousness that God would have us walk in, which is this walking in newness of life scripture speaks of.

We by faith grab unto our deaths in Christ by the faith of the heart..This is the very foundation of our salvation in Christ. A grabbing unto Christ in His death by faith making His death our death...

Which by that faith though as weak as it will be at first. This faith will grow once seen that this is in fact the way of walking in newness of life before God. Where the works of the law our fulfilled in us, but not by us..This is the freedom that Christ set us free for. To walk before God with the faith of the heart turned towards Him,,,constantly

This is to the growing of the Divine nature in us.. We believe in Christ to be saved, than we believe into Christ to grow in Him...Which is accomplished by believing into our deaths and resurrection with Christ, when He died for us and was resurrected for us.. We believe into....Than the truth and the veracity of this statement will be known;

~If it’s me, it’s sin, if it’s Christ , it’s not~


For God He is God and He is good and He loves... For when Jesus died we died, that we might be a new creation, created in righteousness, by righteousness, for righteousness

Be blessed all, as we by faith make this a reality in our lives, Not me
