No one who has truly received the grace of God through faith in Jesus Christ remains unchanged. Something decisive has happened: they have died with Christ to sin (Romans 6:2–11) and to the law of sin and death (Romans 8:2). The old hostile mind that was enmity against God’s law (Romans 8:7), has been crucified, and they have been raised to walk in newness of life (Romans 6:4) as a new creation (2 Corinthians 5:17), born again—not of perishable seed, but of imperishable (1 Peter 1:23).
By the blood of the everlasting covenant, they have been brought near (Ephesians 2:12–13); they are no longer foreigners and aliens but fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God (Ephesians 2:19), grafted into the commonwealth of Israel (Ephesians 2:12; Rom 11:17–24). They are now in Christ, and Christ—who is their life (Col 3:4)—lives in them (Gal 2:20). Seated with Him in the heavenly places (Ephesians 2:6), they are members of His body (Ephesians 5:30), living as free men and women in the kingdom of God, no longer slaves to fear (Rom 8:15).
God's amazing grace has transformed them into living letters (2 Corinthians 3:3), written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, radiating the knowledge of Christ in every place (2 Corinthians 2:14–16) and displaying His love to the whole creation.
Today is the day of salvation. Today, enter His rest and
live as free
