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 #
