"I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me."
GALATIANS 2:20
To be born again - is to be given new life - guided by a new spirit - the old must die for the new to take hold - you are identified with Jesus in this way. To be broken and molded by the spirit within - to be shaped into the image - the most high God has chosen for you - is the relinquished life of the saint.
Given over in entirety - fear not of what you might lose in giving all to Christ Jesus - but take delight in the fact that he walks with you - on his path. The way of Jesus is the narrow road leading to the narrow gate - Jesus is the way to eternal life.
The body is stubborn and full of all types of anxiety when faced with crisis and the unknown. In this - we know that Christ Jesus is known because he died and rose again and was witnessed by many. Though this truth must be believed by faith - it remains true nonetheless. Therefore, reconcile your mind to the truth about Jesus and worry not about things that you cannot control. If death cannot contain Jesus - what can he not do for you?
"For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, and that he appeared to Cephas, and then to the Twelve. After that, he appeared to more than five hundred of the brothers and sisters at the same time, most of whom are still living, though some have fallen asleep. Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles, and last of all he appeared to me also, as to one abnormally born." 1 Corinthians 15:3-8
“But my people did not listen to my voice; Israel would not submit to me. So I gave them over to their stubborn hearts, to follow their own counsels." Psalm 81:11-12
" Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you." 1 Peter 5:6-7
