“A Truth of Salvation”!

So many of us come to the same conclusion
of just who Christ is upon our salvation.
I have no doubts as to the Spirit having his hand
in our initial purpose of coming to our Lord.
Perhaps the biggest lie told us at the beginning
of our walk with Him,sets the beat of our inner drum?
The concept of salvation,is the beginning of it all,if
we miss that,then we can go for years living a lie.
I’ve written on this before,but it deserves another shot,
so important is it to any christian.
Do you live “for” Christ, or do you surrender and yield
your whole being to Him?
Only one is correct,and will mean either spiritual bankruptcy;
or “life in and through Christ”.
How simple,yet a spiritual truth,not easily detected.
The enemys ploys are always so, almost perfect,still
a counterfeit.
“I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live;
yet not I,but Christ liveth in me: and the life
which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith
of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself
for me.”
Like all things we must take by our faith, in and through
Christ.
This scripture should accompany our confession of our
mouths and hearts when we invite Him in us.
In ourselves,in these bodies of flesh,we will never be
enough, so in order to walk the spiritual walk,
we surrender to Christ,our total being,yielding control
of ourselves totally,and daily.
This can only be done with the knowledge that our human
bodies cannot ever be perfect in its present state,
only when we receive our new glorified spiritual body :
have a renewed mind ,can we perfect ourselves as Christ is.
So we are limited by these bodies of flesh,yet can achieve
as much as is spiritually possible for our Jesus
here on earth.
In the meantime we do rise up at times in our own
selfishness,pitifully unable to control and maintain our strength.
Yet maturing in and through Christs strength.
(stumbling is guaranteed)
Like all things spiritual, in ourselves we are subject to
failure, it is only through Christs strength can we even
hope to grow; if we persevere,in the hunger
for more and more of Him.
Our pursuit for our God is only through Jesus in us.
He it is who carries us,through our trials and tribulations as
God uses them to teach us constantly.
If there is one thing said of the Holy Spirit,it is that He is
teaching us for all eternity,and before;
and I do not doubt ever after.
Put your Jesus in His proper priority in living your Christian
walk , you know , the spiritual one now,not the social one.
“I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live;
yet not I,but Christ liveth in me: and the life
which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith
of the Son of God,who loved me,and gave himself
for me.”
Galatians 2:20
“This I say then. Walk in the Spirit,and ye
shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.”(senses)
Galatians 5:16
“Wherefore take unto you the whole armour
of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the
evil day,and having done all, to stand.”
Ephesians 6:13
“Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the
devil, and he will flee from you.”
James 4:7
“Knowing this, that our old man is crucified
with Him,that the body of sin might be destroyed,
that henceforth we should not serve sin.”
Romans 6:6
