--THE SUFFICIENCY OF CHRIST ~~
~~~"In all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us." ---(Romans 8:37)-- 
--THE FIRST five chapters of Romans overflow with the Bible doctrine of justification by faith, which is the foundation of our salvation. Through the Cross, we have been declared righteous, and we have been changed from our former relationship of enmity with God to friendship with God.
~~~In Romans 6, Paul introduced a new truth that the believer must embrace by faith and apply if he is to experience a growing, victorious Christian life. It is the principle of identification, and affirming its meaning and relevance is the first step to becoming more than a conqueror through Jesus Christ" (Romans 8: 37). Identification means that you have been identified or placed by God into Christ's death, burial, and resurrection. In God's eye and mind your sin was on the Cross with Jesus. He paid your (our) sin-debt by dying on the Cross. That's not all. You were raised with Christ (Ephesians 2:6). Jesus' resurrection includes you because of your union with Him. This fact is just as certain as justification and reconciliation. To experience its reality, you must believe what the Bible says: 'You are crucified and risen with Christ' (Romans 6 verse 4). Your role is to reckon or count it as done (Romans 6:11). That is FAITH! He paid the price for the sin-debt of the entire world. We must confess our need for Jesus as our Savior. (Read Romans 10:9 thru 13). Jesus said, "I and my Father are One." [John 10:30] -"Thank You, Lord Jesus, my Rock, Redeemer, and Savior. Justification and reconciliation are mine through faith! I receive Your gift of salvation. Thank You, Abba Father!" ----"AT THE CROSS" // Darlene Zschech (Hillsong) //< https://youtu.be/AkRudaBidHc> ~~~~~~~~~
Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me." [John 14:6]
