MFM Daily Devotional 6 June 2024 MESSAGE

There is an old life we have been living in the flesh before knowing Christ, a sinful life, a life of unrighteousness! Glory be to God who delivered us from this filthy and unworthy life and cleansed us with the blood of Jesus from all unrighteousness. He delivered us from the kingdom of darkness and translated us into the kingdom of Light, of His Son Jesus Christ, our Lord and Saviour. This is the New Life!

The Bible makes it clear to us that when a man is in Christ Jesus, he becomes a new creature, delivered, cleansed and redeemed. As a result, old things are gone, and all things become new. What a total transformation within and without! Everything changes for good. Little wonder then, that the apostle Paul exclaimed in full surrender and conviction of this new life which he is now living.

But interestingly, he couldn’t live this new life all by himself. Even, we, our human abilities and capabilities are not enough to live this life successfully. We need Christ in us, just like Paul. It is not by power or might but it can only be made possible by the Spirit of God in us. As a result, no man can boast of living this new life by himself or herself. It is Christ in us, the Hope of glory.

How then can this be made possible? Beloved, you start by giving your life to Christ. I mean a total surrender, not just answering the altar call, which many people have turned to mere fun these days. It is about being crucified with Christ. Your old personality must die with Christ. In a way that is beyond man, Christ who now lives in you will give you the grace and power to begin to live a new life by faith in Him. Remember, He gave his life and died for us, as a result of the love with which He loves us and redeemed us from our old ways so that we can be reconciled with our heavenly Father through Him, Jesus Christ.

To obtain and enjoy these privileges, you must die to self, the world and to sin! You are called to live a new life in God through Christ Jesus (Gal. 2:20).
