EMERGE
emerge (verb)
to come out and away from sin and death and come into view of who God has created you to be; to become known in Christ
God’s perfect love for us began with bringing us true Freedom in Himself through His son, Jesus. But that true freedom requires us to take the conscience step to continue to emerge from our old way of life into who He has created us to be in Him.

God calls us to Emerge from Bondage into Adoption.
“So also we, while we were children, were held in bondage under the elemental things of the world. But when the fullness of the time came, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under the Law, so that He might redeem those who were under the Law, that we might receive the adoption as sons.” - Galatians 4:3-5

“For He rescued us from the domain of darkness, and transferred us to the kingdom of His beloved Son, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.” - Colossians 1:13-14
God calls us to Emerge from the past into looking ahead.
“Brethren, I do not regard myself as having laid hold of it yet; but one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and reaching forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.” - Philippians 3:13-14

God calls us to Emerge from our Old way of life into a new way of life.
“Since, then, we do not have the excuse of ignorance, everything—and I do mean everything—connected with that old way of life has to go. It’s rotten through and through. Get rid of it! And then take on an entirely new way of life—a God-fashioned life, a life renewed from the inside and working itself into your conduct as God accurately reproduces his character in you.” - Ephesians 4:22-24
God calls us to emerge from living for self into living in faith.
“Christ's life showed me how, and enabled me to do it. I identified myself completely with him. Indeed, I have been crucified with Christ. My ego is no longer central. It is no longer important that I appear righteous before you or have your good opinion, and I am no longer driven to impress God. Christ lives in me. The life you see me living is not "mine," but it is lived by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.” - Galatians 2:20
