Free From In Dwelling Sin

 Romans 8:1-11

Romans Chapter 8 is one of my favorite chapters in the Bible, I have even called it the most perfect chapter in the Bible.  😁But then again I declare that of lots of other chapters.  Paul has just dealt with people who strive against sin in chapters 6 & 7.  Now he turns the page.

“There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.”

‭‭Romans‬ ‭8‬:‭1‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

https://bible.com/bible/114/rom.8.1.NKJV

It begins with the idea of freedom from sin.  Once sin is confessed and put under the blood of Jesus, there is no condemnation for the believer.  Many Christians suffer from condemnation, but in Christ we are free.  Christ came as the righteous requirement of the law.  He paid the price for our disobedience.  

“For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit.”

‭‭Romans‬ ‭8‬:‭5‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

https://bible.com/bible/114/rom.8.5.NKJV

Paul warns us in v.5 to set our minds not on the fleshy sinful things, but on the things of the Spirit.  I call it “stinking thinking,” focus on the Word and Jesus Christ.  Being carnal mined brings death, but spiritual minedness brings life and peace. Read the Word, consume the Word and do the Word!  The Bible must be your foundation.

We must realize that once saved, we have moved from death to life.  We have a new thought process centered on Jesus.  We don’t walk in fleshy or lustful desire, but we walk in the Spirit to please God.  

Many struggle with ongoing sin or disobedience.  We make mistakes, say the wrong thing, get angry or hurt someone with our words or actions. Pray, ask forgiveness and go on.  Remember no condemnation.  We have the power through the Holy Spirit to live above our old life.  New life fresh and powerful in Christ.  Don’t be too hard on yourself, but keep the faith and keep striving to please God.  He loves you and knows your heart.

“But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you.”

‭‭Romans‬ ‭8‬:‭11‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Let the Holy Spirit be your best friend.  Rh

The Brokenness of Knowing Christ

Sometimes God has to break us before He can use us. Brokenness puts total dependence on Jesus, and breaks the arrogant and selfish motives of this wicked world. David was broken in Psalm 51. Saul was broken on the road to Damascus and became Paul the Apostle who wrote most of the New Testament. Bless us, break us, and give us to a hurting world,

My opinion RINO need to be defeated and purged from the Republican Party.  Otherwise our country is lost. Also Trump needs to do much better in endorsements. He is losing Christian Conservatives.  On the ground from Ohio, conservatives are mad!!!  Won’t support Vance!!

I am taking a team out again today to register voters, every time we go out we have 10-12 we sign up. One trip out we had 3 brand new 18 year old voters we signed up! Hooray for the red, white, and blue. there is hope for the younger generation.

Vote Biblical values for that is what our great country was founded on, and what will keep us the lighthouse and beacon of hope for this dark world. If America falls, so will the world. God Bless you, and God Bless the United States of America.
