We may feel the heaviness of sin and death pressing down on us at times, but the reality is we have already passed into life - even though we can’t always grasp it where we are.
For now we are contained in corrupt bodies of flesh. This prevents us from fully attaining the life Jesus has for us. It isn’t that life hasn’t already been given to those of us who believe the message, as we have already ‘passed from death to life’. The problem is that we haven’t been able to let go of our earthly bodies that have earthly cravings and desires.
We must continue to believe, trust and follow Him. Jesus has our life securely held with Him. Our true and eternally blessed life. Let’s ponder on that reality, and move away from the things of this world that hold us back.
Since you have been raised to new life with Christ, set your sights on the realities of heaven, where Christ sits in the place of honor at God’s right hand. Think about the things of heaven, not the things of earth. For you died to this life, and your real life is hidden with Christ in God. (Colossians 3:1-3)
