Opis

This book on the theme of being dead in the flesh and alive in Christ, is everything I have been trying to say in my books written these days. It summarizes the truth which is the foundation of our faith. The text is from Galatians 2:20. One can't speak of Christianity without having a clear understanding of what happened on the cross at Golgotha in relation to the new life which is ours in Christ from the time we make him our Master. This book makes clear the importance of our death WITH Christ in the flesh in order to be born and stay alive and live that new life which is totally dependent on the Lord Jesus Christ. This life is not in isolation but with the other saved ones within the Church, the body of Christ. Obstacles that become opportunities to be a winner will surely be found along the way; thanks to the presence and the assistance of the Holy Spirit, the believer is always victorious and triumphant. To live is loosing in order to be saved, to live is a paradox, to live is what we call a Christian experience, to live is a contradictory life with eyes closed, the head lost, the feeling numbed but the soul and the conscience at peace and reconciled with his God. To live is to contently seek God's face and his will, to live is to make his promises one's joy and spend time in solitude that nourishes increasing one's soul in closeness to the Lord Jesus Christ through his daily sanctification. Here then charity, the sacrifice, the love of each other, and the vocation as stewards of God's blessings invade the whole being of a saved one who is awaiting his Master's return in glory. This book puts the newborn Christian in the way that makes him someone who understands his choice, who is willing to sacrifice all that is in him and does not honor Christ who loved him while he was still lost in sins, and has devoted his life to Christ, the life which has become a precious commodity even to himself. At this point the saved one can't allow either himself, nor someone else nor a human institution, an agent of the devil to divert him from staying in a personal relationship with his Lord. His eyes fixed on Christ, the world and all that is visible, touchable or imaginable here on earth remain annihilated, nonexistent, unimportant and worthless compared to Christ and his Kingdom. This is a valuable tool and an instrument that I give to all who want to live their true new life in Christ.
