This new life is received and lived by faith only. We must accept the gospel as our truth. When we accept Christ as our Lord and personal savior, we believe that He died and resurrected for us. Similarly, we should also believe and accept the other blessings (healing, righteousness, strength, etc.) that Christ’s death brought us.
The new life is eternal life. The very life of our Lord Jesus has been given to us by his presence in us. Every believer has Christ in them and also has the life of Christ.
To maintain victory over the enemy, it is important that you know who you are in Christ. The devil does not want you to have this revelation, so he will use all kinds of distractions to make sure you forget who you are. He wants you to see yourself as an object of pity when you go through challenges. The enemy wants you defeated but God wants you to pick up your identity tag and make bold of who you are. This consciousness will help you face life situations when they arise.
