Nothing to Lose

Sep 6, 2015 | Blogs, Poetry Spotlight

When the lover of my soul knocks, I shall open unto Him. He shall come unto me and you shall leave!

I give praise and glory to the God of my salvation. The redeemed are more than conquerors. Death is swallowed up in victory and we have nothing to lose.

Nothing to Lose
My spirit man can nail my flesh – Unafraid,
because he’s been one With the Resurrection!

“…because anyone who has died has been set free from sin.” Romans 6:7

 

My thoughts
Even in the world, it is widely accepted that the most dangerous foe is one who has nothing to lose. Likewise, when we are born again our position in Christ becomes a lethal assault on the powers that would enslave us again – even those that dwell within. As we follow Jesus and accept His divine call to intimacy our success in this life and in the life to come is assured. Identification with His death, burial, and resurrection, empowers us to put flesh in its place. And we have no fear regarding the wages of sin!

Beloved Unbeliever

Someone once said that if God could be psychoanalyzed, it would be concluded that His love for us is obsessive-compulsive. In Psalm 8:4 David ponders, “What is man that you are mindful of him…?” Dear Father, you love us because you are love! You can be one with us...
