A NEW WAY OF LIFE !

A NEW WAY OF LIFE ! For as the Father has life in himself, so has he given to the Son to have life in himself; and has given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man. I can of my own self do nothing. As I hear, I judge; and my judgment is just, because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father who has sent me." (John 5:26-27;30). What is the Gospel ? It is good news ! Knowing this that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law; for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified." (Galatians 2:16). Now, a new way of life in Christ Jesus is not just good works ! Because, if any man seeks to be justified by good works alone, he or she is seeking glory of themselves. And the law demands good works. What is crucifixion ? And yet many people where a cross around their necks: crucifixion is the signature of death ! The apostle Paul said in (Galatians 2:20). "I am crucified with Christ nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me." The King James Bible. Now to shed a little more light on the same verse of Scripture reading from the amplified Bible: "I have been crucified with Christ [In Him and have shared His crucifixion]; it is no longer I who live, but Christ (the Messiah) living in me; and the life I now live in the body and live by faith in (by adherence to and reliance on and complete trust in) the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me." When you are me died in Christ Jesus, that means that all of me died not just a part of me ! When you say Savior; is He not your Lord ? Then if he is not just Savior, but Lord; that means everything that you are belongs to him you are not your own to make decisions on your own, you were bought with a price: and that price was the precious blood of Jesus. Crucified With Him ! "Therefore, I do not treat God's gracious gift and something of minor importance and defeat its very purpose; I do not set aside and validate and frustrate and nullify the grace (unmerited favor or willingness) of God. For if justification (righteousness, acquittal from guilt) comes through [observing the ritual of] the Law, then Christ (the Messiah) died groundlessly and to no purpose and in vain. His death was then wholly superfluous." (Galatians 2:21). The amplified Bible. The same Scripture in the King James Bible says, "I do not make void the grace of God; for if righteousness comes by the law, then Christ is dead in vain."
