THE SEED
“I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.” Galatians 2:20 ESV
The process of becoming born again is an experience that should be close to the heart of a new believer. This is especially true if you were not born as a Christian and neither went to church growing up. One thing is certain, once you accept Jesus and confess and forsake your sins, changes should come from within you and manifesting physically. Your new birth radiates from inside to outside. This is the point whereby when you make certain decisions about your lifestyle, friendship etc, you will allow Jesus to have the final say. However, if you only profess Jesus as your Saviour i.e. He is a person who saved you, yet you did not make him your Lord; you are short-changing yourself. Being the Lord of your life means Jesus will be in total control of your life. You will hear from Him concerning those decisions that are important to your life. Where He asks you to go, you will go there. The key verse today reminds that you no longer live for your own selfish gain but rather live a life that portrays Christ, who lives in you. Accepting His salvation means accepting His Lordship to rule over you. The deliverance, the blessing and support that are attached to your salvation are numerous, the key to these are accepting Jesus as the Lord and Saviour. Once you surrender all, then you let Him take the lead. The ultimate is total obedience to His words.
