Crucified With Christ.
In the latter times, the bible speaks of a period of lawlessness and a great falling away from the faith. We are observing increase in opposition to the church as demonic influences flex their muscle. The Lord has in times past, and will always have, a faithful remnant through whom His power and purpose will be wielded. These days are not dissimilar to those of the early church and the ministry of Paul.
Compelled by the love of Christ, the gospel had claimed Paul's allegiance. The remnant, you and I, will also fully understand that we are not our own and that we too have been bought with a price. We too have been crucified with Christ and that it is not I who live, but Christ that lives in me. The gates of hell will not prevail against a totally surrendered and yielded vessel. This is our finest hour.
