In Union With Christ - Matthew245 - 09-05-2026
Romans 6:5-7, 'If in union with Christ we have imitated his death, we shall also imitate him in his resurrection. We must realize that our former selves have been crucified with him to destroy this sinful body and to free us from the slavery of sin. When a man dies, of course, he has finished with sin.'
'If in union with Christ we have imitated his death'
Matthew 16:24, 'Then Jesus said to his disciples, ‘If anyone wants to be a follower of mine, let him renounce himself and take up his cross and follow me'.'
Jesus tells us that "WE" need to take up our cross and follow Him. Why? Because He is going to lead us to Calgary so that we to can crucify our flesh and have it nailed to the cross.
This is part of overcoming the flesh and Jesus getting us ready to go from the flesh to the spirit. (You will understand once you get there). It's important that you do exactly as Jesus tells you to do.
And when that day comes, when Jesus returns for us, hopefully you will be ready and waiting for Him to take you home.
God Bless You
