Many of My children view salvation as a "get out of jail" card, but never see their lives as free from the power of sin and death. For when you died, your old nature was crucified, and you were raised again with My Spirit bringing you to life. This new life is hidden IN Christ. As you listen and yield to My Spirit each and every day, you begin to look more and more like Jesus.
For indeed, your life is about letting Christ, the hope of glory, manifest and reveal Himself through your life. Therefore, every area must come into the light for inspection. As you yield to this process, more of the light will be revealed in and through you. More of My power can be entrusted to you, because you will have My interests as first and foremost in your heart and mind. I must be your all in all.
I have so much that I want to do in and through My children, so do not believe the lies any longer. Grace was not free, so do not take it lightly. Give yourself fully and wholly to Me and My cause. Separate yourself for My purposes alone so that the glory of God can be revealed. Be holy for I am holy.
Leviticus 11:44-45 The Message (MSG)
44-45 Make yourselves holy for I am holy. Don’t make yourselves ritually unclean by any creature that crawls on the ground. I am God who brought you up out of the land of Egypt. Be holy because I am holy.
Leviticus 20:7-8 The Message (MSG)
7-8 Set yourselves apart for a holy life. Live a holy life, because I am God, your God. Do what I tell you; live the way I tell you. I am the God who makes you holy.
Ephesians 1:4-5 Living Bible (TLB)
4 Long ago, even before he made the world, God chose us to be his very own through what Christ would do for us; he decided then to make us holy in his eyes, without a single fault—we who stand before him covered with his love. 5 His unchanging plan has always been to adopt us into his own family by sending Jesus Christ to die for us. And he did this because he wanted to!
