We Are Fruit
John 12:24,25
“Verily,verily,
I say unto you, except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and
die,it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit. He
that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in
this world shall keep it unto life eternal.
Jesus is the corn of wheat that
died, and his death has made us alive in Him! He died for us, and he
died as us!
When you accept the truth of His death, burial, and resurrection in
your place, you become a new creation in Christ Jesus!
He who knew no sin, was made sin for us; and as us, He suffered the
result of our sin.
We were born into Adam, and inherited his fallen nature, with all
it's limitations and it's guilt.
Jesus died as
us
and rose from the dead, so that we can rise with Him, with a new
heart and a new nature.
We are the fruit of His death and resurrection! We died with
Jesus, as sinners (all of us humans); and now, whoever wants to lose
this old frustrating, fallen life, can have a new eternal life in
Christ. Like the old hymn says, “Alive, Alive, Alive forever more!”
Being born again is more than a lifestyle change, it is new life in
Christ! You were once darkness, and now you are light in Christ,
sharing in his glory, and energized with His Spirit.
We are risen with Jesus, to be partakers in His life; not to follow
rules and regulations, or to try to please modern day pharisees, or to
be miserable with regret and condemnation!
Your standing with God is not dependent upon your performance or
merits, your righteousness is the result of the grace of our loving
God, who has made a way for all of us to enjoy union with Him,
through the death and resurrection of Jesus the Messiah and Savior!
If
you are an imperfect sinner, born into the family of Adam, you are
eligible for eternal life! You can enjoy a guilt free relationship
with your loving creator, because Jesus took your place and rose from
death into new life, as
you,
and for you. You are eligible to inherit His Life and walk in His
righteousness! He will change you through the power of His grace as
you begin to realize how much he loves you. The Holy Spirit will
teach you, and lead you to experience the knowledge of Christ, and
who you are in Him.
God Bless You as you trust in His grace!
