A New Life In Christ

 When we are born from above, we receive a new nature from our Heavenly Father, A New Life In Christ, and a citizenship in heaven. When we are born again, we become a new creation in Christ, we are removed from bondage to sin and death, and brought into the glorious freedom of Christ's perfect righteousness. When we are saved by grace through faith in Him, we are given His resurrected life: "And we know that we have passed out of death and into life because we love our brothers and sisters in Christ."
 It is the love of Christ that is shed abroad in our heart, and it is the love of our Heavenly Savior that is manifested in our Christian walk. It is God's love that has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, and it is His love that flows through us to others. We know that we have passed from death to life simply because we love one another, he who does not love as Christ loves continues to abide in death, but when Christ is our portion: "We love because He first loved us."
1 John 3:14 We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love each other. Anyone who does not love remains in death.

Our United Prayer:
Heavenly Father, thank You for our brothers and sisters in Christ. Thank You that we all have the common bond of Jesus and the fellowship it brings into our lives. We pray that we may love our Christian families deeply, through good times and bad, to Your praise and glory. In Jesus' name we Pray, AMEN.
