RHAPSODY OF REALITIES WEDNESDAY, 21ST SEPTEMBER.
NO CONDEMNATION...NO DEATH.
There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ
Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit (Romans 8:1).
Nobody will go to hell today or be condemned because of sin, for Jesus
was already condemned for our sins; He paid the full penalty for sin.
Therefore, the primary reason people will go to hell is unbelief; it’s
for not believing and accepting God’s testimony of His Son. It’s for
rejecting God’s love which He demonstrated in the sacrifice of His Son,
for the propitiation of our sins.
The Bible says, “For God so
loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever
believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life” (John
3:16). To reject His love is to embrace eternal condemnation. When you
love the Lord with all your heart, you’re free from any form of
condemnation. And that love has been shed abroad in our hearts by the
Holy Ghost (Romans 5:5), such that not only are we able to love the
Lord, we also walk in, and manifest His love to others.
Furthermore, the one who walks in love has passed from death unto life:
“We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the
brethren. He that loveth not his brother abideth in death” (1 John
3:14). Romans 8:2 says, “For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ
Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.” Eternal life was
activated in your spirit when you were born again. Death isn’t at work
in you; life is, because you’re a child of God.
The law of the
Spirit of life has made you free from the law of sin and death. So,
you’re death-free! When God says He’s made you death-free, it means
you’re off death’s limits! Whatever kind of death it may be, whether
death in business, finances, health, etc.; you’re off their limits,
because life is at work in you. Blessed be God!
CONFESSION
I’m crucified with Christ; nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ
lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the
faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave Himself for me! Christ
is my life, and I dwell in Him in the realm of His divine love.
Therefore, I’m free from sin, death, and the Law! I’m a partaker of His
divine nature!
Further Study:
Romans 6:8-11 Now if we be
dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him: 9 Knowing
that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no
more dominion over him. 10 For in that he died, he died unto sin once:
but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God. 11 Likewise reckon ye also
yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus
Christ our Lord.
1 Corinthians 15:55-57 O death, where [is] thy
sting? O grave, where [is] thy victory? 56 The sting of death [is] sin;
and the strength of sin [is] the law. 57 But thanks [be] to God, which
giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
