3) Christ's solution for our sin, which separates us from God, goes beyond His crucifixion and resurrection. He said He is "the way". How does this work?

Visual truth -- "seeing is believing" situational
Positional truth -- what GOD says about who we are in Christ, whether we realize it or not.
      (Slaves to sin are declared FREE. Now what?)
Experiential truth -- living in the new position. Readjusting the focus and fine tuning. Consider Jesus.
      (Former slaves change allegience and offer themselves to GOD.)
4) Making the change:
Know what GOD says about who we are - Go by GOD's word, not my power or logic
Believe what GOD says - trust the way Abraham did (Romans 4:19)
Act upon what GOD says is true. For example, "consider it all joy when you fall..." ( James 1:2)
