Friday Devotional: Flatliners




1 Corinthians 15:31
31 I protest by your rejoicing which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily.
KJV

2 Corinthians 4:10-12
10 Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body.
11 For we which live are alway delivered unto death for Jesus' sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh.
12 So then death worketh in us, but life in you.
KJV

Have you ever wondered why Jesus promised the abundant life yet you still suffer and struggle?

We are supposed to be New Creatures in Christ, yet the old man remains.

The old Tony or Kim or whoever still lives.  He or she is struggling to survive.  They want to live with all of their selfishness and sin.

The Apostle Paul talks about "walking circumspectly".  In some translations that means "walking in a straightline".  Walking straight is a metaphor for walking righteous.

Ironically our walk in our New Life is never perfectly straight until the Old Life flatlines.

Who is living within you?
