Truly Accepting Christ

"We know that Christ has been raised from the dead and he will never die again. Death no longer has power over him."  Romans 6:9.  During my personal bible study time, I came across this very powerful bible verse that has made my love for the Lord deeper than ever before!  If you are an avid reader of the word, surely there are many bible verses that stick out in your mind, but there are some that stick out more than others-that speak to you strongest!  Well, the aforementioned verse was mine!  The heavens opened up and I felt God's love just pour down on me...YES, that is how I truly felt and the feeling has been wonderful!

How did this verse speak to me and show me how God is truly love?  Well, here goes!  I have watched, heard and read many testimonies from people that were formerly Christians and suddenly became non-believers.  I asked myself how can this happen?  Even after asking several Christian leaders, their response was that when a person who has a true relationship with God and firmly believes Jesus Christ saved us by dying on the cross and there is no one or nothing that can take that away from us.  Reading this scripture today, was an affirmation of that!  God spoke clearly to me today - CRYSTAL CLEAR!  Not only is there that visual of Jesus Christ dying on the cross, resurrecting from dead and never dying again, but another clearer picture has surfaced!  Truly accepting Christ in my heart is an assurance that he lives in me, will never leave me and NOTHING or NO ONE can take him away from me, especially if I want him to always be there!  Once he lives in me, he will never die in me!!  Not to sound cliche, but it is pure and simple!!  I am not posting to pass judgment on anyone who does or does not have a relationship with Christ.  I am here simply to express how this verse spoke to me gave me the clearest assurance about Christ and how God truly does love us to send his only son to die for us, but still continue to LIVE in us and LOVE us!!  How amazing is that?

My journey and growth in Christ has not been easy given that personal experiences has made the road difficult.  After reading this verse and going through it over and over in my mind, helps make the journey easier.  If you are going through a tough time in your walk with the Lord, continue in the word and I promise you God will answer questions you have a burning desire to be answered.  Read deeply though, do not just read the surface of it and God will reveal more than you will ever think of! 

Till next time...have a blessed day.

Love,
