Beats From Your Pastor’s Heart
Romans 7:4, “Wherefore, my brethren, ye also are become dead to the law by the body of Christ; that ye should be married to another, even to him who is raised from the dead, that we should bring forth fruit unto God.”
The Lord wants us to know that all the dealings with our self, all the many blows it receives, are to effect a transfer of our source experientially.
By this transfer we become persons actually living one spirit with the Lord.
For example, at home with your family, you live one spirit with the Lord–regulated and controlled by the Spirit.
You are living out of the source of Another life, rather than living loosely, freely, and independently.
Rather than rebelliously speaking what we want to speak, we actually experience a transfer.
Everything He allows is for the process of bringing us into this wonderful transfer of our source.
2 Corinthians 5:15 reveals the experiential result of our transfer: “And He died on behalf of all, that those who live . . . ”
To “live” here means not just to humanly exist on this earth, but to be living in union with the Lord.
This is how we live.
We live joined to this crucified, resurrected Christ.
This is the truth.
Everything else is a lie.
The fact is that in regeneration we have been joined and married to Christ.
And because we have been crucified with Him and raised together with Him, the very nature of our spirit is crucifixion and resurrection–crucifixion for the flesh, the self, the old man, and resurrection life for us to live one spirit with Him.
