Stand

We need only to realize that we are a new creation. That through the work of the cross (our co-death and resurrection) old things have passed away and our life is hid in Jesus. The expression of that new life(His Life) is our strength. Paul said, “I press toward the mark” (Phil 3:14). This “mark” is the finished work of Jesus upon the cross in our behalf. As we hold this truth before the Lord daily in faith their develops within us a deep inner determination to press through to the place where our responses to life no longer come from our old nature, but from the new creation that we have become. I believe the desire in the heart of the Lord is that we will stand on this complete and finished work that He accomplished on the cross and become partakers of His divine nature.
Eph 6:14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth........
