So I hope that some of you are still reading along with me.  We must push ourselves into a renewed committment  to Christ in these perilous days.  So many traps have been set for our lives from our enemy, the devil, that we must push passionately into a pursuit of Christ.  Don’t let the complacency of the land, people and church fool you into safety!  A light needs to shine in the darkness overtaking us.  As I read today this is what the Lord spoke to me for our consideration as we seek Him.  “The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified.  I TELL YOU THE TRUTH, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed.  But if it dies, it produces many seeds.  The man who loves his life will lose it, while the man who hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life.  Whoever serves me must follow me; and where I am, my servant also will be.  My Father will honor the one who serves me.” John 12:23-26  The way we will glorify the Son in these final days is to shine His life through our lives.  There is no other way!!!  Pursue Him until you find Him…

So we must move on.  I think we have discussed this topic enough about our entry point into access to our Father.  Now what we originally were looking at was our inheritance.  So in gaining access through new life, I have Jesus Himself as my inheritance.  This means all Jesus was and has is also mine.  We are co-heirs as it were.  What does that mean for you and I?  How do we understand this from a practical perspective as we are walking out our Christian life here on earth?  Does is effect the way I live my live?

The entry point for you and I to become God’s children is through death of the old life and birth of the new life.  The old life dies and is buried through baptism.  The new life rise up from burial as the resurrected Christ.  That is how Christ lives in us.  Our bodies have been offered as a living sacrifice.  We no longer have reign over our bodies but it is Christ who reigns in me.  You must think about this, because it is not taught to you at the beginning.  And we go on living our lives any way we want to never relinquishing our rights to our bodies or our lives.  And that is why we fail over and over again at living the Christian life.  That is why it is a struggle to be like Christ, because we are trying to do it ourselves.  “For I have been crucified with Christ and I longer live, but Christ lives in me.  The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.”  Gal 2:20

I will continue to answer my own questions then and you can read along.  All of us must experience a new birth, through dying to ourselves.  Baptism is our water birth, or our burial.  It is being buried with Christ, so that a new man or woman will arise out of that death with new life in Christ.  Just as John preached and baptized, including Jesus, we too must experience a baptism or burial of our own lives.  Not just being put under the water but a death that requires us to bury that “old man” and begin as a child again our spirit life with a purpose and work to be done for our new Father.  Is that too much?  May God help you to see what this issue of being born again means for us.  Water burial and rising into a new life is only the beginning, not the culmination.
