IF WE DIED WITH CHRIST, WE WILL ALSO LIVE WITH HIM FOREVER
Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with Him, knowing that Christ, having been raised from the dead, dies no more. Death no longer has dominion over Him. – Romans 6:8-9
When we accepted Jesus as our Lord and became born-again, we died to sin. In the decision to follow Jesus and become more like Him, sin lost its ownership over us. We still must fight against temptation, but we fight from a better position, because we are in Christ and the Holy Spirit is always there for us.
Jesus died in our place, paying for our sins, and He prepared the way for us to live with Him too. It is not only that we are dead to sin, but we can also live with Jesus, being sure of His grace while here on earth and that we will have a glorious eternal life with Him in heaven. Death lost its dominion over Jesus, as He was raised from the dead, receiving the eternal glorified body. We can encourage ourselves with these verses when life is hard, knowing that we will never die, and only relocate to be with our Lord where He went to prepare a place for us, to be with Him forever!
SUGGESTED PRAYER
Thank You Father God for sending Your Son to die for my sins. Because of His sacrifice, I can be dead to sin also and alive in Christ. Lord, please help me never forget that in You I am dead to sin and I can overcome all temptation with Your help. Because death lost its dominion over You, my Lord, I can live forever too. Lord please help me live right for You and enjoy the abundant life that Jesus came for me to have. In the Name of Jesus I pray. Amen.
