Alive to God

Jesus gathered the disciples about Him and said I am the vine, the vine is the source of all life. Of yourself you can do nothing. It is the same pattern that was established in the Garden of Eden. Adam had access to the Tree of Life (Christ). God told Adam about the other tree ( knowledge of good and evil ) and that He would die on the day that He chose it. Adam did not die physically on that day but spiritually. It took many years for the result of that choice to be experienced physically. When we are born naturally, we are only conscious of two realms. Body and Intellect (soul). Sin extinguished the light of the spirit so what remains is psychic, intellectual and body consciousness. It is only when God lights that candle again that we become alive spiritually and begin a life long journey back to God. The light that is placed within us (Salvation) is the life of Gods Son Jesus that is progressively revealed by the Holy Spirit as we yield to Him through the choices that we make.
