It was Agape Love that broke Satan's controling power over us. We are now free to follow Jesus and love the way He does.
We actually become enemies to the cross of Christ, when we are not willing to lay down our lives and suffer for His name's sake, even though we know in our heads He is worth it! I believe that's because many of us don't have a personal relationship with Christ so don't really know Him. To know Him is to truly love Him.
Many are saying "Lord, Lord", but God says depart from me for I do not know you.
When we recognize our sinful state, and our need for God's DNA power to come dwell in us, then we will have truly begun our journey along His ancient path of obedient and sacrificial love. No longer dead men walking around in the flesh, but brand new living creatures letting God bring life back into our dry bones.
The same Spirit that dwelt in Christ lives in us, we are no longer separated from the Father, but are one with Him in Christ, His Holy Spirit's resurrection power lives within us to do the impossible.
The Holy Spirit was assigned the task of bringing us believers into this awareness. It is His job to teach us all things that pertain to life and godliness.
