Melded Together

For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. Colossians 3:3

Something amazing happens when we trust Christ. A transformation. A rebirth. A melding. That word "hid" in this verse means to conceal something by covering it. When God saved you, He permanently covered and melded your life with Christ so that now you are hidden in Him and He in you. It's like two drops of water running down a window that encounter one another along the way...and suddenly they both disappear into each other leaving one drop. Your life and your fate is forever tied to Christ's. That's why it's so important that He died and rose again--because He experienced then conquered death, you can as well. Victories and defeats, joys and trials you now share with Him. And He shares them with you. You're never, ever alone because Christ's life is fused with yours.
