…………………………………………… just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we too may walk in newness of life.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Just as Christ was raised by someone else, the believing soul is to walk in newness of life the same way, that being, through another….

For this is the faith, a constant looking away from oneself to that Other, for when one knows, believes and understands, that only through death can a new life grow; for salvation being, the birth of a new life… Then, looking to this truth and being willing to stake one’s all, that being, all of one’s hopes, dreams, present and future life on this truth, and willingly give up one’s life to death by faith, that one will find themselves freed from their old life and find themselves walking in the newness of the new birth….

For walking in newness of life in the time of this life is the salvation offered in Christ…. For it is just as real, just as secure, just as an accomplished fact as Christ’s death and resurrection is…. For believing that one did die when Christ died to all the things of this world, (not that the things of this world have died), but believing that because one is joined to Christ, His death becomes that one’s…. For this faith being set on the realness and strength of Christ’s death, for Christ did die, and the believing soul with Him…

For this being the totality of the denial of self, one’s death, for the strength and depth of the believing this faith, will be the strength and depths of one’s walking in newness of life…. For believing into Christ, is just that, the believer believes into something new, Christ being there ready to honor His word to the soul that is willing to believe…..

For self, for own opinion, for own desires, for own anything, is that that keeps one tied to the things of this world…. For death does free one from this world, but praise be to God the believing soul doesn’t have to wait for the death of the body to experience the benefits of dying to, and being made free from all things of this world, for being joined to Christ does this for one…..

The believing soul that believes this, the glory, the freedom, the joy’s of Christ’s new life being raised from the dead will be an experienced thing…. For this is what the Christian heart craves for, a life before God where one knows that they know God by experience…..

For blessed is the one that is willing to look to the Other for the manifestation of the new birth….


Be blessed in that looking, Not me
