Dying to Live

     If you are not dying, His new Life won't come forth in you. All that is left is pretense. The old man in us is the man of death, and actually is an illusion. It is passing away, but the new man, or Christ in us, is eternity, and will live forever. If dying to self is threatening to you, you have yet to understand who you really are without God. When we do understand that, and who Christ is by comparison, it will be easy to ask Him to take us through His baptism of fire. Out with the old, and in with the new. In this way, we can become real, lasting and true. Christ in us, the hope of glory!
