God Thinking LXIX - The Dichotomy 11

"Catch this, because this is big.

God wants you to die to self, just long enough to reveal Himself to you, (while you are dead to self) so that you become true believers and followers of Jesus Christ. - One who has been convinced by being raised from the dead, having had a glimpse of God and the power of God through the resurrection of Christ in them.

 

When you die to self, you find who you are with Almighty God in control.

You sense the value of a life filled with the things of God.

You see that God is able to use you to do His exploits.

See Daniel 11:28-32

You get understanding about who you are in Christ.

You get excited about the possibilities.

Your faith is increased, because your faith is increased when you see the power of God operating in you and through you.

When you die to self - when you are buried with Christ, then you get to be resurrected and made alive in Christ.

Once you see life as one who was resurrected from the dead - well what do you think?" Just try for a moment to imagine what you might have to say and just how bold you might be if you consciously knew you were raised from the dead. Do you think there might be some excitement there?
