Since you invited Jesus Christ into your heart, He has come
to take away your sin. So sin doesn’t
live in you anymore. His Blood speaks
and declares His Righteousness on your behalf, making eternal Peace with God. His gift of Righteousness justifies you and
the abundance of His Grace sustains you as you continue your journey with the
Lord in to the place He has prepared for you. (Romans 5:17; John 14:1-4)
1 John 1:8-10
If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the
truth is not in us.
9 If we confess our
sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from
all unrighteousness.
10 If we say that we have not
sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
Once you have confessed your sin
and have received Jesus Christ into your heart as your Saviour and for the
forgiveness of sin, then sin no longer operates in you. Instead Grace reigns through the
righteousness of Jesus Christ. The New Law is in operation: Law of the Spirit of Life in Christ Jesus (Read
all of Romans 8).
Romans 5:8-11 But God commendeth
his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath
through him.
For if, when we were enemies, we
were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we
shall be saved by his life.
And not only so, but we also joy
in God through our Lord Jesus Christ by whom we have now received the
atonement.
Also, Romans 5:17-19 For if by
one man’s offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance
of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus
Christ.)
v18 Therefore as by the offence
of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness
of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life.
v19 For as by one man’s
disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be
made righteous.
Romans 8:2 For the law of the
Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.
1 John 3:5-6,8-9
V5 And ye know that he was
manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin.
V6 Whosoever abideth in him
sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not
seen him, neither known him.
V8 ...For this purpose the Son of
God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.
V9 Whosoever is born of God doth
not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is
born of God.
Once born of God you cannot sin,
because the strength of sin is removed, that was the law of sin &
death. And the sting of death is
removed, that was sin. Jesus destroyed the
enmity of the flesh...hindrances gone...separation from God, no more!
(Ephesians 2:13-18) Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of
commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new
man, so making peace; And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by
the cross, having slain the enmity thereby:...For through him we both have
access by one Spirit unto the Father.
Hallelujah!
1 Corinthians 15:51-58 *55-57 O death, where is thy sting? O grave,
where is thy victory? The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the
law. But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus
Christ.
So we continue the process of
growing up into the Head...maturing... having the mind of Christ and yielding
to Him. Your spirit is now
righteousness, but your body is dead because of sin. Now as we grow up into Christ Jesus, the Holy
Spirit is quickening you In Life, and this action of His word is causing the
body of sin to fall away.... you are being Raised from the dead by the same
Spirit that was in Jesus and raised Him from the dead!
Romans 8:9-11 v10-11 And if Christ be in you, the body is dead
because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus
from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also
quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.
Now a new rule applies and we
walk by a new law in our members. That
law is the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus. This new law makes us free from the law of
sin and death. Where sin once operated,
now Grace abounds and His Righteousness is declared as our right standing with
God. In the Blood of Jesus, peace
continues with God our Father, as we continue to allow the Lord to renew our
minds in God’s Word, Jesus Christ.
The law of sin and death was a
working of the flesh and revealed sin.
The new law of the Spirit of life
in Christ Jesus is a working of the Spirit and reveals Jesus’ Righteousness on
our behalf, so that we may be eternally
forgiven.
As the Holy Spirit explained to
me one time.... “You are already forgiven, just stop doing it”
That is Grace. No condemnation, just God’s Love and Word
that He has overcome all things, and so can we, in Jesus Christ and by Jesus
Christ. If you can’t stop doing it, then
the Holy Spirit will “burn” it out of you.
No unrighteous mind set, spirit, or behavior is allowed in the kingdom
of God.
So as you press on to enter His
kingdom, you must go through the Door, Jesus Christ. As you do, you will be changed.... free from
the body of the sins of the flesh. Jesus
Christ is God’s Word, the Sword of the Spirit, and He will cut away the flesh
of sin: dead weight. That pull to do
wrong will eventually cease....so be encouraged and continue your journey.
So apologize to the Lord, and get
back in there.... stand up again.... you will get another chance to “do it right.” Ask the Lord how to think, how to
behave. He will speak to you. Also, with the Holy Spirit’s guidance, read
the bible for a multitude of His instructions to put in to practice. Submit to the Lord, resist the devil, and he
will flee. The devil has been destroyed
by Jesus Christ. Jesus is Lord of your
spirit, soul and body now. Acknowledge Jesus Christ in all your ways. (Hebrews 2:14, 1 John 3:8-9, Rev 20:10). What you are dealing with is the spirit of
your own carnal mind. Submit to God’s Word,
Jesus, and ask the Holy Spirit to remove the problem and replace it with the
Spirit of Christ.
Romans 12:1-2 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the
mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy,
acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.
V2 And be not conformed to this
world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove
what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
Romans 5:20-21 Moreover the law entered, that the offence
might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound: That as sin
hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto
eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord.
Romans 6:14 For sin shall not
have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.
So be free from sin
consciousness. Jesus, the Lamb of God,
did a good work on the cross in His death, burial, and resurrection. The Father’s plan was and is a success for
all souls to reap of His works for us. It
is sufficient. We are sealed by His Holy
Spirit in the blood covenant of Jesus.
So now as you are growing up in
Christ, have grace toward yourself, and others.
Walk in faith of the grace that is in Jesus Christ for you. It is sufficient to keep you as you continue your
journey out of old habits and thinking.
Let the Lord give you rest from
trying to do all things right. Walk in
God’s love which is Jesus Christ, and He will guide your steps and thoughts as
you keep your heart and mind on Him.
Be Blessed and know that the Lamb
of God is reigning in your heart, your innerman, and that Lamb is Jesus Christ. He is eternally declaring His Righteousness
on your behalf, and has anchored you in the Victory of Jesus Christ, so that
you too, can walk in the divine nature that is without sin and death.
Hallelujah!
Amen.
