SIN AFFECTS THE BORN AGAIN, WE MUST CONTEND!
If you take the time to read today, you will be Empowered and Encouraged in the Life you Confess!
You can not talk about the Godly Life, The Journey of our Existence in the Life IN Jesus Christ, and NOT talk about sin!
Jude 1:3 Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.
Let’s remind ourselves that SIN is the reason God, “slain His Son before the foundations of the earth.” In other words, God had a plan as God is sovereign in all knowledge and the Master of All and of ALL things. God knew He would need a Savior for the ones He would create on the earth for His Glory(Rev 13:8, Is 43:7, Is 63:5).
This is the revealed knowledge throughout the Bible as God reveals Himself to those who are seeking Him. The facts are that He created us and created us to the pleasure of Him! He had a plan before the created ones of HIM were even “made and formed” in that what He declared, that He would be our God and we will be His people, would stand! (Rev 21:7, 2 Corinthians 6:16)
God the Father of THOSE “called out”, the ones who have believed that Jesus is the Son of God, the ones who confess the finished work of Jesus Christ in their lives and now live in the power of God that raised Jesus from death, THOSE who live by the work, standard, rule and reigning of The Lord and King Jesus Christ, from faith to faith, through the leading and empowerment of His Spirit, Holy Spirit. "THOSE PEOPLE!" Yes, people, born again…Christians who are saved from the consequence of eternal separation from God of their lives. Salvation was needed because of SIN. In the words of Christ, it is settled….. Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. (John 3:3) Sin must be talked about!
Now Saved and being saved awaiting the coming of the Rewarder and Judging of every soul, SIN is still on the earth! And the Church, THOSE BORN AGAIN, must CONTEND FOR THE FAITH WE WERE GIVEN IN OUR SALVATION. (Jude 1:3) You, must defend and be the defense in the earth of Who is your Redeemer and the New Creation you are made and formed, being revealed in the Life of Jesus Christ! The world's ideals and ways, the selfish and ambitious wills of our flesh, and enticements of satan are not of The Father, but they are tools of the Adversary to draw us away from God, His truth and Way, that the abundant life you are given becomes a faint memory, THAT YOU WILL WALK AWAY FROM THE KNOWLEDGE OF HIM REVEALED TO YOU.(Romans 8:7, James 4:4, James 1:14, 1Timothy 4:1-2, Romans 1:18-26, 32)
I want to encourage you today, that God is Faithful, He knew the journey of His children on earth. He knew we would need His presence and power to come to the end of our faith! Just like He knew we needed Jesus, He knows we need until HIm until the Day of the Lord!
He sent Holy Spirit to live within us and to lead us because we are His “sons”. (Romans 8:14) He is the Witness of Jesus, that will empower us to deny ourselves and take the “Way of Escape” of every temptation which is His Word that we “follow Christ” and BE the overcomers He has created us to be! (John 15:26, 1John 5:4)
Yes, SIN is still the enemy! Yes, SIN is still on the earth! Yes, SIN is still an issue, even with the Born Again in our daily walk unto eternal life! BUT we in Jesus Christ are “more than conquers”. DON’T PLAY WITH SIN, CONTEND FOR THE FAITH IN WHICH YOU LIVE! (Romans 8:37, Jude 1:3) It’s not a work but A WAY of our Godly LIfe! Thank you Jesus for The Way and The Truth!
1 Corinthians 10:13 There hath no temptation taken you but such as man can bear: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation make also the way of escape, that ye may be able to endure it.
It’s Intentional! It’s the Godly Life!
Bless you, to all those who joined us on Tuesday's Talk, WE are renewing our minds!
