I enjoyed a good service with the seniors last evening. I told them about the Life Cycle of a Christian, and pointed out that God cares for us from before we are born, all the way through our old age.
The blood of Jesus covers the Old Man (sinful nature) that we inherited, until we reach the age of accountability, when He forgives those who believe on Christ and repent of their sins.
At the time of faith, our spiritual life begins, regardless of our age. From the time of our "new birth" and the impartation of Divine nature (New Man) we begin to deny ourselves, take up our cross and follow Jesus.
The battle between the Old Man and the New Man indicates our need to die to sin. Once we have made that step of faith we are able to deny ourselves, take up our cross and follow Jesus, in the fullness of the Holy Spirit.
As we continue to walk in the light, as He is in the light, we will continue to be cleansed from all sin, and ready for death or the rapture.
