The finished works of Christ , The SHED blood . Jesus had to not only pay the price of sin , He had to make a way to truly set us free from sin .
Lets be encouraged by what paul said more than once . Being then MADE FREE from SIN you became servants to RIGHTEOUSNESS .
Now , let all serve HIM in SPIRIT and IN TRUTH and we shall walk as did HE in righteousness by HIS POWER that indwells us .
But let a man , woman , nor child EVER once forget , Our GOD will not be mocked . If one reaps to the flesh he sows death unto himself
but if one follows the SPIRIT he reaps life everlasting . And this paul did say .
For , Church , if you walk after the flesh , YOU WILL DIE , BUT IF you MORTIFY the wicked evil deeds of the flesh , BY the SPIRIT , YOU WILL LIVE .
We will always be the servants to whom we obey . And thus let us always exhort daily , lest any does become hardened through the deceitfulness of sin .
Who will we trust , MEN who say things are impossible , OR JESUS who in HIM ALL things are possible . Will we be the servants of men , OR GOD .
Will we trust in the doctrines of men , OR the Words and WORD OF GOD ALONE . IN HIM and I mean ONLY IN HIM both the desire and ability to walk holy and righteous is given us .
But if a man takes off heeding THE SPIRIT , THEY WILL FALL and lest one corrects their end will be ugly . We gotta mount up IN THE LORD and exhort daily
and The simplicity of it all is , Without HIM we can do nothing , BUT IN HIM we CAN . Now , I want to see a shower of praises unto HE who is able to keep us from falling .
But a child will fall , IF IT HEEDS NOT its creator . And that is a FACT
As peter well knew too . Brethren take heed lest any of you all be taken in the error of the wicked and fall from your own steadfastness.
And peter knew as did paul , What JESUS alone had accomplished at the cross and we MUST continue in THOSE FINISHED WORKS , IN CHRIST to the end .
HE took our sins In his own body on the tree , that we being MADE DEAD TO SIN , SHOULD LIVE UNTO RIGHTEOUSNESS .
We are the sevants to whom we obey .
