You must ask the question, if God’s word is true when did I die, and the answer is in Christ on the cross. God hates independent living, He wants us to be dependent, to abide in Him. Galatians 2:20, states; “I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.” This truth has skipped past many Christians; they are trying their best to live the Christian life, depending on their ability, with little or no understanding that Christ is their life. Colossians 2:20, asks this question; “Since you died with Christ to the basic principles of this world, why, as though you still belonged to it, do you submit to its rules.” Do you recall what Jesus said on the cross, “It is finished,” (John19: 30) sin had been paid for and death had been defeated. To the thirsty I will give from the spring of the water of life without payment. The one who conquers will have this heritage, and I will be his God and he will be my son. Folks, the Scripture above is about a future, but you and I have already entered into Christ’s time line, He had no beginning and has no end, we are eternal, death and sin have no hold on us. All who are in Christ will not see the second death; will not stand before the White throne judgment of God.
