Do You Walk In White?<\/div>\n

We were buried with Him . . . that just as Christ was raised from the dead . . . even so we also should walk in newness of life \u2014Romans 6:4<\/div>\n

No one experiences complete sanctification without going through a “white funeral”-the burial of the old life. If there has never been this crucial moment of change through death, sanctification will never be more than an elusive dream. There must be a “white funeral,” a death with only one resurrection-a resurrection into the life of Jesus Christ. Nothing can defeat a life like this. It has oneness with God for only one purpose\u2014 to be a witness for Him.

\nHave you really come to your last days? You have often come to them in your mind, but have you really<\/em> experienced them? You cannot die or go to your funeral in a mood of excitement. Death means you stop being. You must agree with God and stop being the intensely striving kind of Christian you have been. <\/strong>We avoid the cemetery and continually refuse our own death. It will not happen by striving, but by yielding to death. It is dying\u2014 being “baptized into His death” (Romans 6:3<\/a> ).<\/p>\n

Have you had your “white funeral,” or are you piously deceiving your own soul? Has there been a point in your life which you now mark as your last day? Is there a place in your life to which you go back in memory with humility and overwhelming gratitude, so that you can honestly proclaim, “Yes, it was then, at my \u2019white funeral,\u2019 that I made an agreement with God.”<\/p>\n

Just like our earthly funeral, we cannot plan or deliver our own\u00a0white funeral we simply agree with God and the cross then also becomes ours. JDV\/DJR<\/em><\/p>\n

“This is the will of God, your sanctification . . .” (1 Thessalonians 4:3<\/a> ). Once you truly realize this is God\u2019s will, you will enter into the process of sanctification as a natural response. Are you willing to experience that “white funeral” now? Will you agree with Him that this is your last day on earth? The moment of agreement depends on you.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
