~~~~~~~~~~~~~so we too may walk in newness of life.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
For one to walk in newness of life, the old needs to die first…

This is the truth that needs to be learned by experience to be of effect…. For experiencing one’s death in Christ as a real thing, is the first step in walking in newness of life by becoming free from sin, so that the new life might grow in one…. These two truths are the cause and effect of what our salvation in Christ consists of, which is, our death and resurrection with Christ..

For in the experiencing of these two truths will one come to know God like the heart could only dream of…. For all of God’s heart is focused on His children getting to know Him through experiencing the salvation He Himself has brought about… And seeing this is the truth, He is hard at work bringing one to the end of themselves where they have no hope but in trusting in Him…

For it is the self life, having its own will, demanding its own expression, that is that that keeps one from the experiencing of God… This is the stumbling block, the cross of Christ, Christ crucified for us… But what does that mean? Christ took our punishment? Yes, but even so much more, Christ became our deaths so that the one who would have faith in Christ being their death and subsequently being raised with Him might walk in newness of life…

These two truths are the essence of our salvation in Christ…. For as one has tasted, the greatest times of experiencing of God comes from the greatest time of yielded-ness to God… This yielded-ness is another way of saying taking the position of being dead in Him or dying to self, so naturally it would have the same results as reckoning oneself dead, same truth different words, same outcome, which is the more of Him and less of self and the less of self, the more of the experiencing of God…

If there could only be a way to stay yielded to God… Oh, would the heart jump at the chance… For the joy the heart has tasted is but a taste of the joy that could be experienced if the heart would stay as yielded as it has at this or that time..

If only there was a way…

The question that needs to be answered first is, is one willing to die to be freed from their sin? For until one is, they will continue to struggle and fail..

If the answer is yes, than thanks be to God there is a way, and it is the most simplest and unfailing way… It can not be defeated by man, for the simple truth that man can not raise himself from the dead…

But being made willing to pay the price for this walking in newness of life, is the struggle of the heart…. Being willing to give up oneself to death by faith… This giving up of one’s self to their death in Christ by faith, is but music to the ears to the one that sees, that only by them really and truly dying will they ever be freed from their desire towards their own will and all the fruit of that will… This, seeing, that through death comes life, is that unfailing way…. The deeper and the more this truth is seen into, the more of this new life will one taste, experience and walk in…

Be blessed all in the salvation that is ours in Christ….

Paul mentions dying daily but doesnt really go into it, and among his many fairly strong statements without qualifiers i wonder if that message doesnt kinda get obscured?
