I have a question for you today; but before then, let me announce that we are saved by grace and grace only. You don’t need to do anything to be saved, because Christ Jesus did everything it takes to save you.
“For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous. 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 5:19-21 KJV)
The truth however remains that if you are truly saved, then you will live the life of God without effort; in the same way you sinned without motivation when you were a sinner.
I have got a problem with those who believe that all men have sinned and are sinners because of Adam; and have a hard time believing that we who are born again are made righteous because of the finished work of Christ.
If all men were made sinners by the sin of Adam; much more those who believe in Christ are made righteous by the finished work of Christ. You are the righteousness God if you have believed. You are his workmanship in Christ Jesus.
We owe it all to the sacrifice of Christ Jesus on the cross. He did it all! He paid it all! He took my place that I might live. You have all it takes to come boldly before the throne of grace and you are empowered enough to rule in life by one.
I see God releasing grace for exploits. You shall reign in life. We shall rule and rule by Jesus Christ. You are not a sinner if you have believed. You don’t have to do anything right or wrong. He did everything. He finished all it takes.
Stop beating yourself down. He died that we might live. You shall live and not die. You can walk in the newness of life because you are made righteous because of the finished work of Jesus Christ. Say amen!
From today we shall walk with our heads up in the air because we are made righteous by his obedience. Because Jesus obeyed even to death on the cross, we can walk with our chests out. We can walk in the new and godly way. We have inherited the nature of Christ and we can rule as he does in life.
And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement. But not as the offence, so also is the free gift. For if through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many. And not as it was by one that sinned, so is the gift: for the judgment was by one to condemnation, but the free gift is of many offences unto justification. 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. (Romans 5:11, 15-17 KJV)
You will rule! You will be in charge! His hand will defend you because of your faith. You are made his righteousness. Stay blessed.
I love you![/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][/et_pb_section]
