United with Christ.

Romans 6:5
5 Since we have been united with him in his death, we will also be raised to life as he was.


Jesus is the remedy for a brand new life. We touched on that yesterday, like when I said that we should put all of our trust in Jesus' death for salvation and accepting that our entire life is in his hands. God's grace covers us. We're spiritually taped to his grace.

This glue that bonds us with Christ carries us and sustains us from now until the time we die, including the death and the burial to the resurrection. What does that mean? Well, because we're Christians, our spirit doesn't die with our bodies. You are alive similarly to when Jesus was alive when he escaped from his tomb.

I realize that this sounds a bit morbid, but when we die, our body will be resurrected and transformed into a brand new, eternally perfect and ideal body like that of Jesus. That's because of Jesus. Because of your faith in Jesus. You are united with him until the end. As a result, you are free from the weight of sin and death.

Today, reflect on the resurrection and what value it has on your life.
