Dead To Sin Alive to God
What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein? Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death? Romans 6: 1-3
Jesus has paid the price for your sins, does that mean you can now sin with no consequences? Absolutely Not, when you accept Jesus into your heart you become transformed, sin should be repulsive to you.
Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection: Romans 6:4-6
Jesus didn’t die alone on the cross, every single one of us died on that cross also. When Jesus resurrected from the dead, our new selves resurrected also. To deny Christ is death.
Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin. For he that is dead is freed from sin. Romans 6:7-8
If you accept Jesus, your “Old Man” died on the cross, you are no longer a slave to sin and death. Your chains have all been broken. Satan can no longer defeat you.
Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him. For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God. Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord. Romans 6:9-11
We worship the God of the Living and not the dead, this is only possible thru our Lord Jesus Christ. They can kill the body but they can’t kill the soul, you will have eternal life thru Jesus Christ.
Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof. Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God. For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace. Romans 6:12-14
However the flesh is weak and you are still vulnerable. You must resist evil and temptation, for Satan is like a lion looking to devour you. But thru Christ you have conquered sin and death. Trust in The Lord and he will be your refuge and strength in Jesus name Amen
The Word of God
Obedience of One
For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous. Romans 5:19
Adam’s sin has impacted us all, because of him there is now disease, sorrow, and death. His mortality has been passed down to all of us and we bear the burden of his disobedience.
However thru the atonement sacrifice of Jesus, he saved us all. He was without sin and washed us clean. So by Adam sin came death and by Jesus sacrifice came life.
Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound: Romans 5:20
Before Jesus fulfilled the law, God delivered the Law to Moses. Although mankind knew what to expect from God, we couldn’t control our sinful and rebellious ways. For we are all sinners and fall short to the Glory of God.
As it says in the book of Revelation, no one was worthy of opening the book of Life (Revelations 5:4) , except one, and that is our Lord Jesus Christ.
That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord. Romans 5:21
We are slaves to sin, many will try to deny this, but our sins own us. Not only do they control us but they will kill us. There is only one who can break the chains and that is Jesus Christ.
Jesus didn’t come to condemn the world but save it. His mercy and grace is greater than the evils of this world. Because of the sins of Adam, you need Jesus, he is the only one who can make you worthy to stand before God. Give yourself to him today and add your name to the book of life in Jesus name Amen
Have Peace With God
Justified by Faith
But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets; Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference: Romans 3:21-22
Jesus came to save us all, not just the Jews, not just the righteous, all of us. As Jesus said he didn’t come to abolish the law but to fulfil it. The veil is torn, accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior, and you are redeemed.
For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; and all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus. Romans 23-24
Who needs Jesus? We all need Jesus, every single person that walked this planet. We are all sinners and we all need to be forgiving. Some might say well I don’t believe in Gods laws therefor I’m not subject to them. Just because you don’t believe, doesn’t mean it’s doesn’t apply to you. We will all be held accountable for our actions in the end.
Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith. Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law. Romans 27-28
We are redeemed by the deeds of the law. How? Jesus fulfilled the law and became the atonement sacrifice for your sins. And by faith believe that Jesus is the Messiah, therefor we are justified by faith because Jesus fulfilled the law.
Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law. Romans 3:31
The same law that was giving to Moses by God, is still the same law today. Jesus fulfilled that law for us. Since we are redeemed by the blood of Jesus, that doesn’t give us the right to sin freely. For thru Christ you have become renewed, a new creature, your ways should be holy and living for God in Jesus Name Amen.
Crowned with Favor
Are You Ashamed?
For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. Romans 1:16
Are you ashamed of Jesus? Do you declare to the world he is the Messiah? Jesus suffered and was humiliated for your sins, how can you be ashamed of your Savior? Anyone who acknowledges Jesus before others he will acknowledge before God.
If anyone is ashamed of me and my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man will be ashamed of them when he comes in his Father’s glory with the holy angels.” Mark 8:38
Jesus is a relationship not a religion. You can’t ever expect to really know Jesus, until you made the commitment to develop the relationship, and the same goes for him. You can’t expect Jesus to know you unless you open your heart to him. Time is ticking, were only a heartbeat away.
Then shall I not be ashamed, when I have respect unto all thy commandments. Psalm 119:6
When you develop that relationship with Jesus, you understand he loves you and wants you to prosper. Therefor you respect and honor Gods commandments. Because you understand those commandments are not for your harm but for your protection.
But now they desire a better country, that is, an heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them a city. Hebrews 11:16
Abraham was unashamed to declare God even though his ancestors worshipped pagan Gods. Jehovah recognized this and was unashamed to declare Israel was his people also. Don’t be ashamed of your creator who loved you so much he sacrificed his only son.
Don’t be a closet Christian, be unashamed of Jesus and declare him to the world as your Lord and Savior. If you truly love him, you will not be ashamed to tell the world in Jesus Name Amen.
Spiritual Warfare
For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Ephesians 6:12
There is much more to this world than meets the eye, there is a spiritual world full of good and evil which drives everything. Once you understand this, you understand how powerless and vulnerable we are on our own.
But if you walk with God he will protect you and give you wisdom to avoid the traps of Satan. Think about the problems or obstacles in your life, what is the driving force behind them? The answer is Satan, we are under attack.
(1 John 5:19) “We know that we are children of God, and that the whole world is under the control of the evil one.”
The world is under Satans control, if you don’t believe me take…
