New People In A New Life
January 9, 2018
Jesus had a life that the grave could not keep. While He carried my sins and yours to the grave and left them there, Jesus came out of that grave risen and victorious!
When Jesus rose for me and you 2,000 years ago, we rose with Him! The Bible says, “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).
Christians are not just nice people—they are new creatures. We have come out of the grave of the old life. Our old master has no more hold over us. We have no more penalty to pay. Our sins are buried in the grave of God’s forgetfulness.
FOR YOUR GIFT TO THE MINISTRY
Front Porch Moments by Gayle Foster
WITH KEY INSIGHTS FROM HER FATHER, ADRIAN ROGERS
I try to unplug each morning with Jesus with just my rocking chair, my Bible, and a pen.
Having a secret place is very important because I know that Jesus is always there waiting for me. I know where I can find Him! His presence is everywhere, but there are places where it is so thick you can cut it with a knife. You may not even have a front porch, but there is a secret place for you as well. God’s invitations are for anyone who will respond. There is no more important request than the one found in Psalm 27:8: “My heart has heard You say, ‘Come and talk with Me.’ And my heart responds, ‘Lord, I am coming.’”
