get right to the point.
So What's So Different Then About This New Life? Page 7 of 7
Are you sitting down? Because this is huge! (Of course you’re sitting down. Who surfs the web standing up?) Your life has been exchanged. You may have exchanged a Christmas gift or two, but you’ve never exchanged anything like this. You have actually exchanged your old self-centered, self-serving, sinner life with the life of Christ. The Holy Spirit has now moved in and taken up residence within you. Didn’t you notice the big U-Haul? It is the Spirit of God that now lives in you that causes Christ’s life to be expressed through you. This happens by daily learning to depend on Christ. 1
Branches do not produce fruit, branches only bear fruit. It’s the life inside the vine that actually produces the fruit. In the same way, Christ’s life will produce your love for God, through you, by faith. 2
You have a new spiritual identity in Christ. You can stop thinking of yourself as a sinner because that’s not who you are. You are a saint! It’s not that you don’t sin; it’s just that when you do, your behavior isn’t matching up to who you really are. What you believe about yourself determines how you live and behave. Believe that you are an accepted, deeply loved, child of God, and gradually your behavior will begin to reflect that. Just be patient.
Experiencing this life in Christ is the way life was meant to be lived. You’ve got life! You have just won the spiritual lottery. Now go spend it hilariously!
