For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God

Daily Light Devotions - June 22 - Morning

For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.1 

For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.  1

By no means! How can we who died to sin still live in it?  2

For through the law I died to the law, so that I might live to God.  I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.  3

and he died for all, that those who live might no longer live for themselves but for him who for their sake died and was raised. Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.  4

And we know that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding, so that we may know him who is true; and we are in him who is true, in his Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life.  5

that they may all be one, just as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be in us, so that the world may believe that you have sent me.  6

Now you are the body of Christ and individually members of it.  7

Yet a little while and the world will see me no more, but you will see me. Because I live, you also will live.  8

He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To the one who conquers I will give some of the hidden manna, and I will give him a white stone, with a new name written on the stone that no one knows except the one who receives it.' 9
