Life in the Spirit
9 But you are not controlled by your sinful nature. You are controlled by the Spirit if you have the Spirit of God living in you. (And remember that those who do not have the Spirit of Christ living in them do not belong to him at all.) 10 And Christ lives within you, so even though your body will die because of sin, the Spirit gives you life because you have been made right with God. 11 The Spirit of God, who raised Jesus from the dead, lives in you. And just as God raised Christ Jesus from the dead, he will give life to your mortal bodies by this same Spirit living within you.
“Because I belong to Him, He is alive in me.”
This simple statement of our life status is actually a deep theological expression of Trinitarian philosophy. The triune God, -- Father, Son and Holy Spirit, -- all are active in my life situation. The Father loves and provides the sacrificial lamb. The Son died and now lives to intercede. The Spirit dwells within and sustains the spiritual life.
“Because I have given my life to Jesus Christ, the Spirit of God lives in me.”
Is that an expression of your life status? If not, let today be your day to receive the gift of God.
“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believeth on Him shall not perish but have everlasting life.” –John 3:16.
