Actions of Sin
(pt 2 of 2)
Prayer:
Heavenly father thank you for saving us, as we embark on the second part of your word may you show us through your tender mercies how lucky we are to made righteous in you. Bless you word to our hearts, in Christ Jesus name, amen.
I know we are all Human and will miss the mark. That is if your still having your life ruled/controlled by sin. Then you are not only putting your Salvation in jeopardy, but also your life too.
Romans 6:14 . . Because we . . “for you are not under law” . . sin cannot any longer control your fate. When you don’t obey the Law of Moses, sin cannot dominate. Sin can only control you, when you try and keep the Law. Know this, that Satan's power is wrapped up in the Law. For where ever the Law is, it can only add strength to sin.
The first came in the ‘Garden of Eden’. For god told Adam & Eve that there is only 1 (one) rule/Law .. in that you must not eat from the tree of Life. . . Genesis 2:17 “ but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die.”. . . the Law show a clear Action – Reaction, so simple, and was easy to keep. Though God has set us free from sin by doing away with the law, and it’s restrictions and has now given us ‘Grace’.
Question:
“Was sin (Satan) a verb or noun?
IE ~ Is it an action of sin, but will never dominate your life?
OR
“Was it meant to be a noun, a person ~ place ~ thing?
The Prison of Sin [a place]
The Prison of Righteousness [a place]
Romans 6:14 “For sin shall” [noun] . . “For [the prison] sin shall not have dominion over you”
With the Law now removed, metaphorically speaking, the walls of the prison are down, and you have been given a pardon (don’t squanderer it). In other words “there will no longer be actions of sin”, Wrong you have been delivered from the ‘sin prison’, now your out from under the prison so Satan can no longer rule/control or have hold of you any more , don’t live there no longer.
Question:- “What was the doctrine/ obedience that was delivered to us from the Apostle Paul?” when he preached the following message of grace ..
Hebrews 8:12 “ For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their lawless deeds I will remember no more.” 13 In that He says, “A new covenant,” He has made the first obsolete. Now what is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to vanish away.”
… What Paul refers to here is the teaching of the ‘New Covenant’. Where god had said .. I will .. I will .. I will. I feel this one of the most important point to get across, Jesus Christ said “most assuredly” to get over His point that was important. It’s like saying today ..’Honestly or I’m telling you truth’. If you believe in God, and you’ll be obedient too God, who have been merciful unto your righteousness, your sin’s and iniquities He’ll remember your sins NO more. You used to be a slave in your prison of sin, but the teaching has come and decided to receive what the blood has done for you, and now that you have received the teaching of Grace. So what the blood has & will do for you.
This blood, is what has sprung you out of prison, that was the ransom, your now no longer being held a slave/captive in prison any more. You have now moved from the prison of Sin, now your the prisoner of righteousness, if you want to call it that ... Romans 6:18 “And having been set free from sin, you became slaves of righteousness” … we are all sinner because of ‘one man’s’ actions [Adam] to be sinners no longer, all we need to do is .. be born-again’
It is so unfair that we are all sinners, the moment we leave our mother womb, band draw our first breath. We are tarnished with the same brush, even though we weren’t there when Adam ate from the tree of life.
# I’m the Righteousness of God #
Question:-”Just as we are born in to sin because of Adam,
so have we been made righteous because of one man?” [Jesus].
His name of cause … Jesus Christ … (The same thing happened here as it did because of Adam). We did nothing when ‘Born-again’ to become righteous. I have now freely; Willingly become a prisoner of Righteousness, through what one man did [for me]. I am now the Righteousness of God, I did nothing (Earthly) to be righteous, but I was ‘made’ Righteous’ because of Christ Jesus actions, glory be to God, for His goodness & mercies.
Romans 6:19 “I speak in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh. For just as you presented your members as slaves of uncleanness, and of lawlessness leading to more lawlessness, so now present your members as slaves of righteousness for holiness”
When you were in the prison of sin do you remember doing ‘Righteous’ things like giving money to the ‘poor; homeless or needy?’ Even doing good deeds for the less fortunate? Do you think doing any of these good deeds got you out of the prison of Sin? There is, and will always be only one way out, that is to be ‘born-again’. From one man we have received, for what he did (Jesus) did through His blood, then be delivered from Sin and unto righteousness.
All it seems throughout this is ask questions after questions, so as not to disappoint, ‘If you Sin whilst in the prison of Righteousness, will it not result in you being dismissed? and our Heavenly Father letting it be known His displeasure in you? We are not taught to fear the Lord for nothing …
Deuteronomy 6:2 “that you may fear the Lord your God”
Psalms 33:8 “Let all the earth fear the Lord; Let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of Him”
Proverbs 3:7 “Do not be wise in your own eyes; Fear the Lord and depart from evil”
… you have been established in the righteousness of God for all those who believe. You now know that you now no longer want to keep sinning. Because God is going to help you, reach in and change those [sin] desires, so that you no longer have the urge to sin anymore. . .
God knows the best way to help you become clean ..
Only God knows how to make you Holy ..
Only God can help you to doing it right ..
… because once you become the Righteousness of God, after time you will start doing things right without giving it a second thought.
In the prison of Righteousness, it’s the ‘Change-Chamber’, that will change your heart from old sin nature, and bring you out of being addicted to your old self, to one of only want to doing things right. Now don’t let sin convict or condemn you. Instead now all your heart wants is continue to be obedient to your faith and that God has been merciful to your unrighteousness, and your sin and iniquity, He remembers not one. He our Father God in Heaven has taken care of the Sin factor/actions/problems, and never stops taking care of our sin.
NB: Right Believing = Right Living
# Once you wake up, and smell the coffee, as it were, you will see things in a whole new way.
You won’t want to sin anymore, and (here’s the best bit) you’ll find you don’t
want to either #
