Don't Mix Things Up

Happy Sunday everyone,

Thanks for being wonderful readers, and remember, if you have any contribution, suggestion, prayer, or any comment, just send them to the comment section below. Thanks, guys.

I’ve been really concerned about why the world has become so corrupt and some would ask what Jesus really died for. Then I took you down the reasons why this is happening (if you have other reasons aside from my reasons and you want to share them, you could share them in the comment section below).

My reasons, where the church has lost focus, but the world isn’t doing anything different from how it is meant to be. This is because the world is under the evil one, and they haven’t realised that Jesus has freed them from the bondage of the evil one. Also, they feel this is the way life is meant to be, as they see the corruption of the world as a normal life.

Then who is to let them know they are free? The church! This church is a person or set of people who have been translated into the brand new life of Jesus and are not under the powers of evil anymore. They are meant to go round the world sharing the great love of what Jesus did for the whole world and how they could be translated into this new life, but it appears the church along the way created a religion out of it as they were gradually getting distracted.

My summary was that the church is meant to depend only on the word of God with the leading of the Holy Spirit who is the Spirit of Jesus, and not with their human wisdom just because they hold a Ph.D., Th.D, or whatever degrees. Having a degree isn’t bad, but that doesn’t give you the authority to run the church with your degree, rather you are to be led by the Holy Spirit/the Spirit of Jesus in doing what Jesus called for in your new life. We should know that it is not by our power, nor by our might, but by the Spirit, Who in this case is the Holy Spirit.

Jesus told His disciples in John 15:5 that without Him they can do nothing. This is true because it is our Spirit that was completely translated to the Spirit of Jesus. But our soul is still in the process of transformation, and we cannot use an unfinished product to run our new lives or carry out what Jesus asked us to do.

God cleanses our hearts by grace through faith, which is different from religion that sets enforces standards, as it pushes that if you will just act right, you will be right. We must understand that a good heart will change a man’s actions, but a man’s actions cannot change his heart. The moment you get born again, your old Spirit is immediately replaced with a brand new Spirit, which is the Spirit of Jesus, (ref.: 2 Corinthians 5:17; Galatians 2:20).

Just as a tree doesn’t produce fruits the moment it is planted, likewise being born again. Just as the fruit at a certain level of growth of the tree shows what tree you planted, likewise when born again, holiness is a by-product and not the way to a relationship with God.

Let’s not get things mixed up, there must be growth and growth must continue as, without growth, we cannot see holiness manifest on the outside for Man to see. For with God, you became holy the moment you were born again because you’ve taken up a brand new Spirit—the Spirit of Jesus, who is now your new life!

Having the new life and to enable us to walk the path of our new life, we have the Holy Spirit who leads us in the path of righteousness, as we’re now the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus. This is what the church should know and understand not just with knowledge, but with their action.

The fate of the world lies in the hands of the church, as the only solution to the world is to be translated into a brand new life that Jesus provided through His resurrection. For this world is condemned and is passing away. There is no point saving it because it is obsolete as Jesus has brought a brand new life. The only thing worth saving and was the essence of the new life is the people. And the church shouldn’t sleep, or be led astray.

There are so many things to write about on this subject matter, but I believe you’ve gotten my major point. Log on tomorrow for another exciting write-up on “What Is The Gospel Truth?”

 

May the LORD bless you and keep you, make His face shine upon you. May the LORD be gracious to you and lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace. AMEN.

                    

 

Why not accept Jesus today if you haven’t. Pray out loud, “Jesus, I confess that You are my Lord and Saviour. I believe in my heart that God raised You from the dead. By faith in Your Word, I receive salvation now. Thank You for saving me!” Congratulations, you’re born again, you are now brand new!
