JESUS TO THE RESCUE
For if you live according to the flesh you will die, but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.
Paul describes the new life of the Believer concerning the Holy Spirit and His work in and through us.
For if you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. Romans 8:13
Believers are dead to sin, and alive in Jesus, and no longer bound to sin because we now live in a new era of righteousness. We have been released from sin and are now bound to Jesus, and it is Jesus who rescued us from death.
There is now no condemnation for those who are in Jesus! Think about that for a minute; it is a remarkable statement, and it means to be found innocent of the accusation, to have no sentence inflicted, and no guilty verdict found.
We all know how bad we can be and how short we seem to fall when compared to the righteousness of God. That was the point Paul made; we will fall short. It is only by the grace of God that we have any hope! It is not by anything we do; it is a gift from God. By His gift
But the free gift is not like the offense. For if by the one man's offense many died, much more the grace of God and the gift by the grace of the one Man, Jesus Christ, abounded to many. And the gift is not like that which came through the one who sinned. For the judgment which came from one offense resulted in condemnation, but the free gift which came from many offenses resulted in justification. For if by the one mans offense death reigned through the one, much more those who receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ. Romans 5:15-17
Believers in Jesus will not face condemnation. Think about that; we are free to serve God in the new way of the Holy Spirit! It is powerful!
Think about what this means for us: think about how it sets us free and liberates and frees us. Yes, it is good news indeed!
We are now free to live in the new way of love as we bear fruit to God.
Take some time today and think about your own life. Think about the reality that there is no condemnation for you; you are made alive in Jesus. You do not walk according to the flesh, the sinful nature, but according to the Holy Spirit.
