So death works in us, but life in you.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This is the principle of salvation...

When death (dying to self) works in one, life (an expression of Christ) is the result..

For both in the one doing the dying and the one being the receiver of that growth...... Life, which is the expression of Christ, works as a result of the fruit that the dying to self produces....

For one does not know how the dying is necessary until it is brought to light by the Spirit in the circumstances in life... It is than that the dying is set before the heart, one can choose to die to self, and in that dying grow.. Or one can resist this instruction and allow self-will to rule... Resulting in a entrenching of self-will in the life...

As Christ had to both die and be resurrected to complete the work set before Him.. We too must both die and be resurrected to walk in newness of life... This is accomplished by dying to self so that the new birth might grow... But the dying or denying of self must be embraced as that which it is in itself to receive the fruit that this dying to the life of this world produces... And this can only be done by the faith and desire of the heart set towards it... For this is what the purpose was that Christ died for, that we might be set free from the life of this world...

Which is put forth by this truth of life out of death... But before one willingly enters into death one must be convinced of the necessity of their death with their whole heart, as the only remedy to that which ails them..

This is the school house all those that are Christ’s are in..

This learning the necessity of death to all that was born in the life of this world, for it is the life of this world that is our separation from God.. Therefore it is the necessity of learning this living by faith, both, by the giving up of the life of this world by faith, and then the receiving of the promise of this new life by faith.. This learning the necessity of reckoning ones self dead unto the life of this world and than, alive unto God, by faith.... This is the great lesson of growth...

Death works in, that life might work out..

For to the degree one embraces their death in Christ, by however their heart grabs unto this reality, to that degree shall and will Christ be formed in them..

Be blessed all in the manifestation of life out of death....
