Living "in Christ" ... Dead to Sin

This is something that I have been thinking about a lot lately. I have been looking at my life and my faith. I once was living a life that was alive in Sin. I don't mean that I was a bad or evil person. I was just a person who was living a very worldly life. I put myself first and everyone else second. I claimed to know Christ but yet could not have been farther away from him. Looking back now I can safely say I knew Christ Jesus the same way I know Donald Trump ... I don't know "The Donald" but I definitely know a lot about him. He on the other hand has no idea who I am. I was fortunate. I met and married a beautiful lady that has a close and personal relationship with Jesus. She helped to introduce me to him in a personal way. I have since been building a fantastic personal relationship with Him. We talk each day. I confide in Him each day. I study His message each day. I give thanks and praise to Him each day ... and by "Him" I mean Christ Jesus. I now find myself building my faith "on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the chief corner-stone" (Ephesians 2:20) rather than seeing this foundation as the "stone that causes men to stumble, and a rock that makes them fall" (Isaiah 8:14).

The big question I struggle with right now is this: I know I have changed. I no longer want to live in the Sin of this World but rather I want to Live in Christ ... I know this ... but does everyone around me know this? ... or do they still see the "Old" Harley?

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!
(2 Corinthians, Chapter 5: Verse 17)
