Alive to God
Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with Him. Romans 6:8
Scripture reading: Romans 6
The apostle Paul could see that if he had any communion with flesh and blood, he couldn’t go forward in the Lord. (See Galatians 1:15–17.) It was even necessary for Jesus’ flesh and blood ties to be put in this context.
When God the Holy Spirit brings us to see these truths, we will deny ourselves for the sake of the Cross. We will deny ourselves of anything that would cause our brother to stumble. We will die to all fleshly indulgences, lest we should miss the great swallowing up by life (2 Cor. 5:4). We will not even mention or ever pay attention to anything along natural lines. Amen
