This program has been made possible by the friends and

partners of Joyce Meyer Ministries.

And the only way we're going to be strong in God is putting

time into it.

Time, time, time.

You can be as close to God as you want to be.

It all depends on how much time you're willing to put into the relationship.

Now, Colossians chapter 3.

We're going to look at first at the first four verses.

If you've been raised with Christ to a new life, which you have been, correct?

If you're not born again tonight, we can fix that.

But you've been raised.

You've been raised to a new life.

You're a new creature.

All things have passed away.

All things have become new.

So, okay, then why do I still act?

I'm not saved sometimes.

And this is where it gets confusing for people.

It's like, well, if all this stuff is mine, then why am I not seeing it manifested in my life?

Well, it's very simple.

What we have legally given to us through the blood of Christ and what we have experientially in our lives can be two very different things if we don't know how to walk out what God has done in us.
