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
