But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved. Ephesians 2:4-5 (NIV)
We have been totally identified with Christ in His substitutionary work on the Cross. Everything that happened to Him, in the mind of God it happened to us as well. We were crucified with Him. We died with Him. We were buried with Him. We were made alive with Him. We were made alive with Christ to God.
When you’re alive to something you’re attracted, drawn to, and captivated by it effortlessly.
We are alive to God. We are alive to right and holy living. Relating and walking with God is not a duty or a demand on us but a delight.
The knowledge of our identification with Christ in everything He did in the Cross is the truth that sets us free to live as liberated sons of God.
