Only those intimately associated with Jesus will find their way into God’s kingdom.
People tend to complicate things, but salvation can only be appropriated through identification with the Son of God.
By this, I’m referring to a willingness to pour one’s heart and entire existence into Jesus’ death and resurrection.
In one transformative act of solidarity, He became our substitute. Men and women can be “accredited” with what He did.
What’s in Jesus is now in us. His precious blood has released marvelous things.
The old humanity, with its evil tendencies, was crucified. Previous ways of thinking and behavior were exterminated. We now part company with worldly principles and actions. Sin’s dominion is broken.
Through Jesus, believers are no longer a slave to old habits and attitudes. We’re a new creation (see 2 Cor. 5:17).
Our identity comes through identification.
