Pie in the Sky ?

“Now if we have died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with Him, knowing that Christ, having been raised from the dead, is never to die again; death no longer is master over Him. For the death that He died, He died to sin, once for all; but the life that He lives, He lives to God. Even so consider yourselves to be dad to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus.” Romans 6:8-11

“Therefore let him who thinks he stands take heed lest he fall. No temptation has overtaken you but such as is common to man; and God is faithful, who will not allow you to be temp[ted beyond what you are able, but with the temptations will provide the way of escape also, that you may be able to endure it.” I Corinthians 10:12-13

OK...sometimes it is great to think we have a future after we are dead and that death itself holds no fear for us once we are in His irrefutable hands. However, it is not just the “pie in the sky by and by”, it is the here and now reality that by His death He melted sins’ power over us! Now that IS something to celebrate today!
