God's Rest & Righteousness Devotional
"How Shall We?"
January 20, 2020
Romans 6:2God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?
As Paul was speaking to the Church of Rome he wanted to help them come into a place in their lives where they did more than talk about sin, curses, disease, daily repentance, what they did good, what they did bad,and more. In fact, the religious systems wanted to steal the ID of what was accomplished on Cross.
It seems as the conversation of the Christian Life has not changed much since this time and the question of the Apostle Paul is still relevant for today, which is, "How shall we?"
"How shall we come to a place where we are dead to sin and stop living there?" Here, the word dead means: the vital union and fellowship of sin is utterly destroyed. You see, dearly Beloved, "Through the cross every disciple already died with Christ--even in the same burial with Christ into the baptism of His death & resurrection." (Romans 6:3) It was there that we became one in God's Rest, vitally surrounded by God; filled with God; hidden in Christ. It is the Person of the Holy Spirit who daily teaches us to "Simply acknowledge God's Rest in our hearts, and minds FIRST" through Christ and everything else will come. There is an old song that says, "Love lifted me, Love lifted me, when nothing else could help! Love lifted me."
Confession: I acknowledge God's Rest in me today, through Christ as my Way in all. I choose to allow God's Rest in my family; in my conversations; in my work; be first in every thing I do today, in Jesus name.
