The Truth is you're DEAD to SIN

-


For all have sinned and have come short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23). It means that all cannot come short of the glory of God had it been we all haven't sin. In other words, if we continue living without sin, then we can continue in the glory of God. Eureka! Christ HAS REDEEMED US from the cause of the law and death as a result of sin, that we which was once alive to sin or dead in sin might be made alive to righteousness or dead to sin. Apostle Paul wrote to the book of Romans 6:11. He said "likewise rekon ye also yourself to be dead to sin but alive to God through Christ Jesus". He established it in verse 10 that Christ died, and he died to sin but in that he's alive, he's alive to God. And you're a carrier of Christ (Colossians 1:27). Practically, the life you carry after you attained salvation is the life of Christ that is dead to sin but therein alive to God.

There is a difference between to be dead in sin and to be dead to sin. Christ died to sin that we which were alive to sin or dead in sin can be made to live to God. His blood paid the ransom for all sins and hath brought us near to God which were once far from him. YOU MUST BEGIN AND CONTINUE TO ACKNOWLEDGE what you have IN YOU AND IN CHRIST JESUS because that's how the reality of being dead to sin becomes EFFECTUAL (Philemon 1:6). A dead person doesn't respond to them which are alive, physically speaking. So are you dead and not responsive to sin in your spirit being for so is Christ which is in you.

Yielding to sin with a nature of God inside your spirit man is an abomination. Apostle Paul said " God forbid (Romans 6:15). The more reason you must take the following steps:
1. Acknowledge what you have in the inside of you (Colossians 1:27)
2. Rekon yourself to be dead to sin and alive in Gods presence (Romans 6:11)
3. Deny yourself of fleshy list and all other kinds of sin. You can do it, you've been enabled to do it (Colossians 3:5)
4. Resist and continue to resist the devil, he always flees but doesn't get tired. You shouldn't relent either. For greater is him in you than he that's     in the world.
5. Live in the reality of death to sin and being alive in Gods presence through our Lord Jesus Christ.

Shalom! See you in heaven!!

A GLIMPSE OF HIS GRACE

-
"At thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, both the chariot and the horse are cast into a dead sleep" (Psalm 76:6) Psalm 76:1-12 In 1863, former President Abraham Lincoln of the United States declared in a state address: “We have been the recipients of the choicest bounties of heaven; we have been preserved these many years in peace and prosperity; we have grown in numbers, wealth, and power as no other nation has ever grown. But we have forgotten God. We have forgotten the gracious hand which preserved us in peace and multiplied and enriched and strengthened us, and we have vainly imagined, in deceitfulness of our hearts, that all these blessings were produced by some superior wisdom and virtue of our own. Intoxicated with unbroken success, we have become too self-sufficient to feel the necessity of the redeeming and preserving grace, too proud to pray to the God that made us.” That was a sincere acknowledgement of God’s graciousness to America which hitherto placed its trust in H...

ABIDE IN CHRIST

-
Christ is everything we need. He is our Salvation, our Righteousness, our Love, our Joy, our Wisdom, our Power, our Victory, our Patience, our Life, and much more. Indeed, Christ is our all in all. Jesus Christ can be unto you of everything, so when you have Christ, you've it all. How do we experience these things?  We experience them as we abide in Christ. The Lord Jesus said, "Abide in Me, and I [will live out My life] in you." Our part is to abide in Him. His part is to do everything we need How do I abide in Christ? We abide in Christ by knowing we are in Christ: God Himself put us in Christ. Abiding in Christ is simply living in the truth of what God has done. One of the greatest secret of abiding in Christ is the deep conviction that we are nothing and Christ is everything. If we take the letter CHRIST away from the word CHRISTIAN, what do we have left?  You have IAN which stands for I Am Nothing. Our Lord said, "Apart from Me, you can do nothing." ...

WHAT MUST I DO TO BE SAVED?

-
What must I do to be saved? (Acts 16:31) We are saved, not by doing good works or any work, but by believing on the Lord Jesus Christ. The Bible says, "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you shall be saved" (Acts 16:31) What does it mean to believe on the Lord Jesus Christ?  To answer this question, let us see the meaning of His name. LORD - This is His kingly name. God has made Him "Lord of all". Jesus Christ is over all things in God's universe. JESUS - This is His personal name. It means "Savior". He is our Savior, the Savior of the world - the One who died for our sins and rose from the grave to become our living Savior. CHRIST - This is His official name. It means that He is the "Anointed One". He is the One chosen and anointed by God as the promised Savior. Do you believe that Jesus Christ is the One Anointed by God to be your Savior? Do you believe that Jesus Christ died on the cross for your sins? This is a huge and very ...
