WALKING IN THE PRIVILEGE OF NEW LIFE

[Albert Finch]

When Jesus declared on the Cross, "It is finished," He decreed to the earth and the world of darkness that they had lost. When Jesus arose from the grave, He fulfilled the legal requirements of the law and broke the curse of sin off the earth! Jesus secured everything for the Believer from the Cross of Calvary and the Resurrection from the grave, and satan knows he is powerless to stop God's Kingdom plan.

BECAUSE OF OUR RESURRECTED SAVIOR, WE WIN!

Colossians 2:12-15 (NKJV) - " ...[You were] buried with Him in baptism, in which you also were raised with Him through faith in the working of God, who raised Him from the dead. And you, being dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He has made alive together with Him, having forgiven you all trespasses, having wiped out the handwriting of requirements that was against us, which was contrary to us."

Jesus' followers can see their oneness with Him living from the heavenly ascended Life, bearing fruit that remains for His Kingdom through their Christ calling.

BENEFITS OF THE FINISHED WORK OF THE CROSS:

1) Exchanging Punishment for Peace - Isa. 53:5
2) Exchanging Sickness for Healing - Isa. 53:4-5
3) Exchanging Sin for Righteousness - Isa. 53:10, 2 Cor. 5:21
4) Exchanging Curse for Blessing - Deut. 28:15-68 for Deut. 28:1-14
5) Exchanging Poverty for Wealth - 2 Cor. 8:9
6) Exchanging Death (see below) for Life - Heb. 2:9
He was crucified and buried; He descended into Hades and rose again so that our redemption could be complete. In exchange, the gift of life to every Believer is:
     (1) union and fellowship with God; and
     (2) resurrection and eternal life in God's glorious presence.
7) Exchanging the Old Man for the New - Rom. 6:6; 8:10; Col. 2:11; Gal. 5:17-24

As we understand that our spirit is "quickened" by His Spirit we must now come to understand our Christ identity -- Paul’s letters to the churches gives a complete explanation and elucidation of our Kingdom resurrection authority and dominion. Next, we ask, knock, and seek until we come to understand and begin carrying out God’s purpose for our life (our Calling in Christ) so we can bear fruit that remains for God's Kingdom (John 15:16).

Some of the steps ahead will be like walking on water. Unfortunately, we do not get to pick the visibility of the water or the depth of the ocean that the Lord asks us to step out on.
