Jesus for us (Salvation); Jesus in us (Sanctification)

To be saved is to believe that Jesus Christ died for us, in our place (Romans 5:8).
To be sanctified is to let Jesus Christ live in us (Galatians 2:20).

Jesus Christ FOR you and me is Salvation; Jesus Christ IN you and me is Sanctification.

Points to ponder:
Are you saved? In other words, have you believed in Jesus and acknowledged that he died for you?
And if you are saved, are you being sanctified (daily) and conforming into his perfect and holy image? In other words, do you allow Jesus to live in you?
My prayer is, “Lord sanctify me, by being in me so that I may be in you” (Ephesians 5:1); What is yours?

Romans 5:8-10 (KJV)
8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
9 Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.
10 For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.

Galatians 2:20 (KJV)
20 I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.

Inseparable

What can separate us (you and me) from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus, our Lord?
Short answer: Nothing!
Long answer: Nothing!

In fact, I need not say any more to express this profound and inexplicable Truth about our inseparability from the love of God, in Christ Jesus. My brother, Ragland Remo Paul, when teaching from the text in Romans 8:38-39, written by Apostle Paul to the Romans, highlighted certain dimensional attributes, to ascertain the verity of our inseparability from God.

Romans 8:38-39 reads For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life (physical dimension), nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers (spiritual dimension), nor things present, nor things to come (temporal dimension), nor height, nor depth (spatial dimension), nor any other creature (everything else dimension since all are created by God) shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

No matter whichever dimensional viewpoint, we take, it goes back to the truth that NOTHING ABSOLUTELY NOTHING can separate us from the Love of God, which is in Christ Jesus, our Lord. What a wonderful privilege and assurance this is! However, this also warrants our rightful response, which should be “Nothing absolutely nothing, neither death nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature should be able to separate the LOVE we have for God, in Christ Jesus, because He first loved us (1 John 4:19), and demonstrated that by his sacrificial death (in our stead), while we were still sinners (Romans 5:8).” This is my prayer, what is yours?

Romans 8:38-39 (KJV)
38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,
39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
