Beats From Your Pastor’s Heart

2 Corinthians 5:14-15, “For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead:  And that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again.”

For God to be our source, we need to see that God is not going to improve us.

He is not going to mend us or even upgrade us.

We may upgrade our computer software, but when it comes to improving the self, there are no upgrades in God’s arrangement of things.

God is not going to improve me, nor is He going to render some help to me, as if I was the source of my life.

Christ becomes our righteousness in order that we might be torn away from ourselves and catapulted into Another life and source.

God does things in absolutes.

He crucifies the self and terminates it.

He does not even give it a chance to try to work out its own righteousness.

The fact that we “all died” in His death deals with the matter of source.

A dead person can no longer live to himself.

Christ comes to replace us.

He comes to be the very source of our being.

He comes to exchange our life for His life.

He does this by joining Himself to our spirit, so that we become one spirit with Him (1 Cor. 6:17).

God’s goal is to come into my spirit to become my source.

The way He does this is by first taking me completely out of the realm of my self by crucifying me outright.

This co-crucifixion with Christ quickly ends my religious history.

God terminates me in one realm that He might resurrect me in another.

The experiential effect of this co-resurrection, where Christ Himself is now my righteousness, is that I become completely reoriented.

It is truly no longer I, but Christ in me, who is living to God.

Because Christ is my life, God is now my source.
