CROSSED OVER FROM DEATH TO LIFE
John 5:24 "Very truly I tell you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be judged but has crossed over from death to life. (NIV)
The death Jesus referred here is spiritual death; that is, separation from God who is Himself life. He says anyone who hears His word and believe Him who sent Him has eternal life and won't be judged. The judgement for sin is death (spiritual death first, then physical).
Having believed in Jesus you will not be judged, there is no pending judgement of sin for you. Because Jesus Christ has been judged for you; He took your sin and died your death, and came back to life. And has given you that life; His life. Consequently death is in your past; it's not something that could happen again, you have been judged in Christ, you have passed from death to life.
Your now-realm is life. And this is your right to stand against death and its manifestations; sickness, poverty, fear and the likes. Death and its manifestations has no legal right or place in your life. You should know this and act by it.
John echoes this same truth in his epistle. 1 John 3:14 We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love each other. Anyone who does not love remains in death.
Here he is telling us that love is the evidence that we have passed from death to life. If you have actually crossed over from death to life love would be the proof. In the arena of life there is no hatred or malice. These are works or operation of death. He who hates remains in death.
As you make bold confession that you have crossed over from death to life boldly express love also. Love is the true evidence. Your confession won't be enough if you show no love. Express love to God and to people, this is the mark of those who have passed from death to life; love.
CONFESSION
I believe in Jesus the Son of God, and I have been judged in Him, I will not come into judgement again for I have crossed over from death to life. Through my love for God and people others shall see that I have passed from death to life, in Jesus' Name. Amen.
