Are You Alive!

Whenever someone is put on life support in a hospital, the physician will sometimes monitor brain waves to determine if there is still brain life in the patient.  Likewise, God is monitoring your heart and mind to determine if there is any real spiritual life in your heart towards Him.  Are you alive towards God right now?  God knows all about that.  Before a person is born again, they are "dead" spiritually in their trespasses and sins.  That means there are no sincere signals of affection coming from your being towards the living God.  That means there is no life, or true thoughts of love towards the Lord Jesus Christ whatsoever.  God knows the mind that has thoughts of love to Him and His Son, and He knows the heart that cares about hurting or pleasing Him.  The Almighty Creator senses each heart that is beating with love for Him, that is trustful towards Him, and those minds that have the signals of Life eternal.

Until you are truly born again of the Spirit of God by trusting to the Lord Jesus Christ and His Precious Blood, your heart and mind is flatlining towards God, that is, there is no activity that God acknowledges.  There are no true spiritual vital signs active in your inward parts until the divine nature is imparted to you by the Spirit of the Lord.  God knows the soul that fights with sins inwardly and that seeks the Holy Spirit's help and strength.

And you hath He quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins;  Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved).  And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath He quickened together with Him, having forgiven you all trespasses;  For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.  Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord. For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is Life and peace.

There is not a spark of eternal life within you until you receive Christ Jesus into your heart by faith in His blood.  You can be alive physically, but dead spiritually towards God and not even realize it, until the Holy Spirit Himself moves in your mind and heart, and shows you your deadness, sinfulness and hopelessness inside.

Are you Alive?

Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God.  You have to be made alive by the Holy Spirit; the new birth is a miracle from God that happens when you come to your senses about your sinfulness and lost state, and turn from your love for sinning to God, and trust to the Lord Jesus Christ Himself.  If you're not alive unto God, you are still in natural, sinful state.

He that hath the Son hath Life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.  Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink His blood, ye have no life in you.  Paul was brought to Life on the road to Damascus - "For behold, he prayeth."

Have you really passed from death unto Life, or are you just a religious church-goer?  O LORD, Thou knowest.  The words of God are quick and powerful, you must sincerely believe what God said first about His dear Son in the Holy Bible, and then you must heartily believe on His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, who bore your sins in His own body, and suffered the wrath of God for those sins you are committing.  You see, He bled and died on account of your rebellion towards God, and then He rose from the dead, and is now alive forever more.  Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth My word, and believeth on Him that sent Me, hath everlasting Life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto Life.

Are you Alive unto God?
