Raised Us Up

“...raised us up...” (Ephesians 2:6)

Feeling disconnected for a long time and getting superficial gleaning from the world, the fact still remains: the Lord raised me up, He raised us all up, in His power. And if He did it, who can undo it? It is God who justifies. This is how faith looks at the facts of Jesus’ completed work, not to actively seek how I can be justified, but to see that I was and am justified. First that my sins were forgiven by the blood of Christ, and my sins were many. But also that I am free from sin, that the sinner, me, was long ago crucified with Christ. The Lord declared it so. Who am I but to say with Him, It is finished? Believe it, embrace it, for He said that He is my life. All things are new.
