WHICH SIDE OF THE CROSS ARE YOU LIVING ON?
The new covenant began at the cross.
“For a covenant is valid only when men are dead, for it is never in force while the one who made it lives.” Hebrews 9:17
Jesus isn't headed for the cross, for death. He's already been there. Now, in the new covenant, He's seated at rest in Heaven and so are you.
“even when we were dead in our transgressions, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), and raised us up with Him, and seated us with Him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus,” Ephesians 2:5-6
If you're still carrying your cross and headed for death, you're still living in the old covenant ministry of death.
If you've been crucified with Christ, you're in the new covenant and your life is hidden with Christ in God.
“Truly, truly, I say to you, he who hears My word, and believes Him who sent Me, has eternal life, and does not come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life.” John 5:24
If you believe in Him you're not dying, you're dead, and you've passed out of death and into life.
“For you have died and your life is hidden with Christ in God.” Colossians 3:3
Ours is not the old covenant ministry of sin and death.
Ours is the new covenant ministry of the Spirit of life.
Get/live/preach/walk on the new covenant side of the cross.
