Christian living is a life of abandonment. No, we are not orphans, but we are willing slaves. We abandon our "independent" actions that Adam and Eve demonstrated in the Garden of Eden. And we live a life totally dependent upon the Tree of Life (Jesus). We have liberty, but we only use that liberty to surrender. We have freedom, but we only use that freedom to become His slaves. We have freedom of choice, but we choose to follow Him by denying ourselves. We know that He is able and well able to complete the work He started in us when He drew us to Himself. He placed His seed inside us and it has begun to grow. We have learned to agree with the Word of God and to see ourselves dead and Jesus alive in us. We now work in harmony with the Spirit of the Living God to manifest His will in us, as it is in heaven. We think it not robbery to be equal with God (the sons of God), but we humble ourselves to be obedient even to death. Be blessed.
