Circumcision – Clear Cut Life
Genesis 17:10-14
Likewise you also, reckon yourselves to be dead indeed to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus our Lord. (Romans 6:11; underline mine)
`reckon’ in the original is `logizomai’ and defined as: “to reckon, count, compute, calculate, take into account; to reckon inward, count up or weight the reasons, to deliberate; by reckoning up all the reasons, to gather or infer.”
This word deals with reality. If you `logizomai’ or reckon that your bank book has it, it has in it. Otherwise you are deceiving yourself. This word refers to facts not suppositions.
What is your reality, compared to the truth of the cross? You need to closely examine and do calculations of your motives, thoughts, actions and lifestyle – your whole life. Are you conscientiously managing yourself in the light of the cross? Are you doing a stock check of your life?
