#4914 – You Died

Good morning people who have been crucified and buried with Christ.

Colossians 3:3 NIV For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God.

Before we were raised with Christ, we died. Before we can enter into the life of Christ, we must die to the life of sin and death.

This is not bad news; this is good news!

Dead people don’t fight for their rights. This is one of the greatest shifts that is needed in many of our lives today.

As a believer and as one who is alive with Christ, my only “right” is to do the will of my Father who is in heaven. This is my right, my privilege, my joy and my responsibility.

So, let me declare to you today:

You died! Your sinful nature died!

It is not dying. It is not being renewed. It is not able to be fixed up, patched up or made better.

It is dead, and that’s exactly what we need it to be – dead and buried!

But there is more good news, even better news… Let’s go there tomorrow.
