Ever feel strange or out of place? Have you ever felt like you do not belong . . . something weird about the place where you are? Welcome to the CHRISTian life! This is the norm for us . . . or should be! We should be livin' in eternity now!
Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit. (Galatians 5:24-25)
Do you know your zip code? Are you identified by where you live? Most of us are when it comes to car insurance, home loans, health insurance, life insurance and more. Certain neighborhoods and even zip codes are considered high risk/low risk. Yet with Christ, we are not seen as a zip code, but a a Spirit-filled child of God.
And we all, who with unveiled faces contemplate the Lord’s glory, are being transformed into his image with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit. (2 Corinthians 3:18)
God is transforming us daily into His image so we will be ready when we get home. So, in the mean time, let's live like we are already there. Identify with eternity. Who knows, we may even get some to follow us home!
