Living Life in its Fullness by Relating with the Lord who is the Resurrection and the Life
The time of Trumpets serves as a reminder of who we herald and honor as King of kings and Lord of lords! It also reminds us of the importance of resisting His adversary the devil, being vigilant in spiritual warfare and diligent in growing in virtue, knowledge and the love of God.
He has accomplished more through His sacrificial blood than a single day of confession could ever possibly do! He defeated the enemy of our soul and won the battle over the power of sin and death. By the power and authority of His resurrection, all those who put their faith in Him are justified before God and delivered from His judgment into eternal life. To illustrate this point, the LORD raised a man, Lazarus, who had been in a tomb for four days. He did this, “for God’s glory, so that the Son of God may receive glory through it.” (John 11:4 JNT) He, therefore, declared:
Placing our trust in the LORD, we become united with Him by faith, and our soul is justified before God to live for eternity. We also celebrate our new life in the LORD, and look to ways we can grow in faith and in the virtues of Christ; and likewise express greater measures of the new life we live in grace by the power of the Holy Spirit. In this we truly walk being Christ-like, representing the love of Christ to the world, glorifying God. Truly, He has prepared a way and a place for those who place their faith in Him. In Him, we see El Chaiyai—The God of my life (Psalm 42:8) and El Yeshuati—The God of my salvation. (Isaiah 12:2) He is Jehovah-nissi—the Lord is my banner; standard or victory! (Exodus 17:15)
REFLECTION, REALITY AND RESPONSE Paul gained a real revelation of living in the Lord. He embraced and lived in accordance with two profound principles. How might you apply these principles in your own life daily?
In what ways can you see the reality of tapping into God’s capacity, and growing greater measures of faith and in the virtues of Christ? For some insights see 2 Peter 1:2-11. |
