PUTTING ON THE BREASTPLATE OF FAITH AND LOVE; AND FOR AN HELMET, THE HOPE OF SALVATION.

PUTTING ON THE BREASTPLATE OF FAITH AND LOVE; AND FOR AN HELMET, THE HOPE OF SALVATION.

1 Thessalonians 5:5-10 

Ye Are All The Children Of Light, And The Children Of The Day: We Are Not Of The Night, Nor Of Darkness. Therefore Let Us Not Sleep, As Do Others; But Let Us Watch And Be Sober. For They That Sleep Sleep In The Night; And They That Be Drunken Are Drunken In The Night. But Let Us, Who Are Of The Day, Be Sober, Putting On The Breastplate Of Faith And Love; And For An Helmet, The Hope Of Salvation. For God Hath Not Appointed Us To Wrath, But To Obtain Salvation By Our Lord Jesus Christ, Who Died For Us, That, Whether We Wake Or Sleep, We Should Live Together With Him.

1 Corinthians 15:34 

Awake To Righteousness, And Sin Not; For Some Have Not The Knowledge Of God: I Speak This To Your Shame.

Some Christian people live their Spiritual Life in a sleepy haze. Christian people are still in the mindset of repentance. They keep laying the foundation of repentance from dead works. They never wake up to Righteousness. They are still of the mind that they are still the old wretched fleshly sinful carnal man. They have never been set free of the captivity in their minds that Christ Jesus died for them to have. Christ Jesus came to set captives free. What is that captivity? SIN! SIN had us bound because of our flesh. But at Salvation, our flesh is crucified with Christ Jesus. The Law is the strength of sin. By The Law is the knowledge of sin. Where there is no Law there is no sin. Those that have crucified their flesh with Christ Jesus, are dead to their flesh. At Salvation, Christians are no longer under The Law, because Under The Blood Means, Under Grace. Grace through Faith, not The Law Of Works. The Law is not of Faith. We were of the flesh and under The Law, but when we died, we became  Righteous. When we died to our sinful flesh, The Righteousness Of Christ Jesus was imputed unto us. If you think that you are still sinful and fleshly, then you need to check to see if you are in the Faith or not. It is time for Christians to Wake Up To Righteousness and know who we are in Christ Jesus! If you are still believing the old self is still who you are, then what exactly did Christ Jesus do for you? If you are still bound by sin and flesh, how will you tell the lost people that Jesus can set them free of their sins? If you are still flesh, how are you Spirit? By saying that you are still the same old man as you were before Salvation, how did Jesus change you? If you say that you are still the sinner man, where is the new man? When you say those things, you are claiming defeat. Where is your victory in the blood of Christ Jesus? When you say that you are still a sinner, you are saying, The Blood Of Jesus is not enough to cleanse, cover, and keep you. Think before you speak. Read Your Bible To Know Who And What Jesus And His Perfect Sacrifice Are All About. Jesus Did Not Go Through All That He Did And Go Through All That He Did To Leave You Like You Were Before Salvation. The devil has some people believing that they are just barely saved, but in Christ Jesus, You Have Been Born Again!!! You Are A New Creation In Christ Jesus!!! You Are Now A Child Of God!!! You Now Have Eternal Life, Because Of His Death!!! You Now Have An Eternal Home In Heaven, With God!!! GLORY TO HIS NAME!!!
