Your Inclusion In Christ

We are approaching the week leading up to Easter Sunday on April 17. This is the perfect time to take a few moments each day to marvel at the breathtaking miracle that, by the Father’s choice before the foundation of the world, YOU were included in Christ’s death, burial and resurrection where you are now seated with him! Read all the scriptures below today and then re-read one each day next week, agreeing wholeheartedly with the truth as our Father see it—the only truth there is!   Sunday, April 10: “God [our loving Father] was in Christ reconciling the world to himself, not counting people’s sins against them.” (2 Cor 5:19)   Monday, April 11: “For Christ’s love compels us, because we are convinced that one died for all, and therefore all died.” (2 Cor 5:14, NIV)   Tuesday, April 12: “And since we died with Christ, we know we will also live with him.” (Romans 6:8, NLT)   Wednesday, April 13: “My old self has been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me. So I live in this earthly body by trusting in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.” (Galatians 2:20, NLT)   Thursday, April 14: “For since we are permanently grafted into him to experience a death like his, then we are permanently grafted into him to experience a resurrection like his and the new life that it imparts.” (Romans 6:5, TPT)   Good Friday, April 15: “For we’ve been buried with him into his death. Our ‘baptism into death’ also means we were raised with him when we believed in God’s resurrection power, the power that raised him from death’s realm. This ‘realm of death’ describes our former state, for we were held in sin’s grasp. But now, we’ve been resurrected out of that ‘realm of death’ never to return, for we are forever alive and forgiven of all our sins!” (Colossians 2:12-13, TPT)   Saturday, April 16: “Christ’s resurrection is your resurrection too. This is why we are to yearn for all that is above, for that’s where Christ sits enthroned at the place of all power, honor, and authority! Your crucifixion with Christ has severed the tie to this life, and now your true life is hidden away in God in Christ.” (Colossians 3:1,3, TPT)   Easter Sunday, April 17: “When the extraordinary compassion of God our Savior and his overpowering love suddenly appeared in person, as the brightness of a dawning day, he came to save us. Not because of any virtuous deed that we have done but only because of his extravagant mercy. He saved us, resurrecting us through the washing of rebirth. We are made completely new by the Holy Spirit, whom he splashed over us richly by Jesus, the Messiah, our Life Giver.” (Titus 3:4-6 TPT)
