Summary:

Salvation is the initial step into our relationship with the Lord. This opens the door for us to accept Him as Lord over our lives, and begins a life long process of us giving our selves to Him in every area of our lives. As we walk on in the footsteps of the pattern Son, we begin to die out to our old nature and take on His nature. As the firstborn son, we too must be pleasing to our Father.

Show Notes:

  As we die out to the old nature we become alive to the Christ nature that is within us.
