Galatians 3:24-29
24 Let me put it another way. The law was our guardian and teacher to lead us until Christ came. So now, through faith in Christ, we are made right with God. 25 But now that faith in Christ has come, we no longer need the law as our guardian. 26 So you are all children of God through faith in Christ Jesus. 27 And all who have been united with Christ in baptism have been made like him. 28 There is no longer Jew or Gentile, slave or free, male or female. For you are all Christians — you are one in Christ Jesus. 29 And now that you belong to Christ, you are the true children of Abraham. You are his heirs, and now all the promises God gave to him belong to you.
(NLT)
WOW! We are one in Christ Jesus, we belong to Christ and we have become the children of the living God through faith in His Son. All the promises God gave to Abraham are now promised to us. We are joint heirs with Christ. So then, why do we keep living in the world and its sin? Why live for a world that hates you and wants nothing more than to destroy you? We are free to live in Christ filled with the Holy Spirit of promise. Let us take off the old man and put on the new because we have everything we need in Christ. There is no better life than the life we have in Christ. Do not be deceived by the world and its lies. The only life worth living is the life for Christ. If we live for anything else but Christ then we live a lie and we have been deceived by the evil one. Christ is the beginning, Christ is the middle, Christ is the end and Christ is the all in all. It was all created for Christ, it was all given to Christ and it is all about Christ. Leave the old man behind and move forward into the new man in Christ. There will never be any regrets living for Christ. Except Christ and all that He offers you and walk into an abundant life that is like none other you have seen.
Phil 3:13-15
3 Brethren, I do not regard myself as having laid hold of it yet; but one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and reaching forward to what lies ahead, 14 I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.
