BLESSED BE THE LORD GOD OF ISRAEL; FOR HE HATH VISITED AND REDEEMED HIS PEOPLE.

BLESSED BE THE LORD GOD OF ISRAEL; FOR HE HATH VISITED AND REDEEMED HIS PEOPLE. Luke 1:68

This is the time we have set aside for the birth of our Savior Jesus Christ. I pray that you will take time from your busy day and contemplate on why Jesus Christ was born. I pray that you read about the purpose of His coming and His perfect Sacrifice. Jesus Christ was born for one reason and one reason only, to redeem the people back to God Almighty. God created man to have a close relationship with Him. God prepared a place, it was a garden in Eden. The garden was created for the man to live, to be loved and protected under the watchful eye of God Himself. Now we all know what happened, man chose to go against God and His command. This is called the fall of man, and this was also the first sin. The very definition of Sin is going against what God Says. Adam sinned and was thrown out of the garden in Eden, his life, and his relationship with God changed forever. The Bible says in Genesis 3:17,22-24 "And Unto Adam He Said, Because Thou Hast Hearkened Unto The Voice Of Thy Wife, And Hast Eaten Of The Tree, Of Which I Commanded Thee, Saying, Thou Shalt Not Eat Of It: Cursed Is The Ground For Thy Sake; In Sorrow Shalt Thou Eat Of It All The Days Of Thy Life; [22] And The Lord God Said, Behold, The Man Is Become As One Of Us, To Know Good And Evil: And Now, Lest He Put Forth His Hand, And Take Also Of The Tree Of Life, And Eat, And Live For Ever: Therefore The Lord God Sent Him Forth From The Garden Of Eden To Till The Ground From Whence He Was Taken. So He Drove Out The Man; And He Placed At The East Of The Garden Of Eden Cherubims, And A Flaming Sword Which Turned Every Way, To Keep The Way Of The Tree Of Life".

As you read in  Genesis 3:17 THE CURSE came upon the ground, and in 22-24, Adam was sent out of The garden in Eden because of THE TREE OF LIFE. If Adam had eaten of THE TREE OF LIFE he would have lived forever. So in other words, Adam died, and ETERNAL LIFE was out of the reach of Adam, because of sin. Romans 5:12

"Wherefore, As By One Man Sin Entered Into The World, And Death By Sin; And So Death Passed Upon All Men, For That All Have Sinned". 

ENTER THE LAW. God wrote The Law for men to live by, so they could know what He commands from them. The man that kept The Law fully, was considered Righteous. Any man that broke The Law Of God was against God until that sin was atoned for. Because of Adam, sin came on everyone born, no one is excluded. ENTER JESUS CHRIST. Hebrews 4:15 For We Have Not An High Priest Which Cannot Be Touched With The Feeling Of Our Infirmities; But Was In All Points Tempted Like As We Are, YET WITHOUT SIN. Jesus Christ is the only Man born of a woman that is sinless and that is because His Father Is God. God made Jesus Christ "Like As We Are, YET WITHOUT SIN". Jesus Christ was tempted and tried, but overcome because HE IS RIGHTEOUSNESS.  

JESUS CHRIST IS NOT JUST RIGHTEOUS, HE IS THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD. Romans 3:25-26

"Whom God Hath Set Forth To Be A Propitiation Through Faith In His Blood, To Declare HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS For The Remission Of Sins That Are Past, Through The Forbearance Of God; To Declare, I Say, At This Time His Righteousness: That He Might Be Just, And The Justifier Of Him Which Believeth In Jesus".

Romans 3:21-22 

"BUT NOW THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD WITHOUT THE LAW IS MANIFESTED, Being Witnessed By The Law And The Prophets; Even The Righteousness Of God Which Is By Faith Of Jesus Christ Unto All And Upon All Them That Believe: For There Is No Difference". 

Romans 5:18-19

"Therefore As By The Offence Of One Judgment Came Upon All Men To Condemnation; Even So By The Righteousness Of One, The Free Gift Came Upon All Men Unto Justification Of Life. For As By One Man's Disobedience Many Were Made Sinners, So By The Obedience Of One Shall Many Be Made Righteous".

Romans 5:13b. BUT SIN IS NOT IMPUTED WHEN THERE IS NO LAW.

Romans 3:20-21 

Therefore By The Deeds Of The Law There Shall No Flesh Be Justified In His Sight: FOR BY THE LAW IS THE KNOWLEDGE OF SIN. BUT NOW THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD WITHOUT THE LAW IS MANIFESTED, Being Witnessed By The Law And The Prophets;

Romans 3:24,28 

BEING JUSTIFIED FREELY BY HIS GRACE THROUGH THE REDEMPTION THAT IS IN CHRIST JESUS: 

[28] THEREFORE WE CONCLUDE THAT A MAN IS JUSTIFIED BY FAITH Without The Deeds Of The Law.

Romans 6:14

FOR SIN SHALL NOT HAVE DOMINION OVER YOU: FOR YE ARE NOT UNDER THE LAW, BUT UNDER GRACE.

Romans 4:8 

BLESSED IS THE MAN TO WHOM THE LORD WILL NOT IMPUTE SIN.

Romans 5:19-21 

FOR AS BY ONE MAN'S DISOBEDIENCE MANY WERE MADE SINNERS, SO BY THE OBEDIENCE OF ONE SHALL MANY BE MADE RIGHTEOUS. MOREOVER THE LAW ENTERED, THAT THE OFFENCE MIGHT ABOUND. BUT WHERE SIN ABOUNDED, GRACE DID MUCH MORE ABOUND: THAT AS SIN HATH REIGNED UNTO DEATH, EVEN SO MIGHT GRACE REIGN THROUGH RIGHTEOUSNESS UNTO ETERNAL LIFE BY JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD.

Revelation 2:7 

HE THAT HATH AN EAR, LET HIM HEAR WHAT THE SPIRIT SAITH UNTO THE CHURCHES; TO HIM THAT OVERCOMETH WILL I GIVE TO EAT OF THE TREE OF LIFE, WHICH IS IN THE MIDST OF THE PARADISE OF GOD.

THE BLOOD OF JESUS IS ENOUGH TO GIVE YOU ETERNAL LIFE! 

YOU ARE RIGHTEOUS, BECAUSE OF THE SACRIFICE OF JESUS CHRIST!  YOU ARE A CHILD OF GOD, AND HAVE THE TREE OF LIFE WITHIN YOUR REACH! 

YOU ARE REDEEMED BY THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB! 

MERRY CHRIST mas!

Submit Yourselves Therefore To God.

Submit Yourselves Therefore To God.

James 4:7-8

Submit Yourselves Therefore To God. Resist The Devil, And He Will Flee From You. Draw Nigh To God, And He Will Draw Nigh To You. Cleanse Your Hands, Ye Sinners; And Purify Your Hearts, Ye Double Minded.

James 1:5-8 

If Any Of You Lack Wisdom, Let Him Ask Of God, That Giveth To All Men Liberally, And Upbraideth Not; And It Shall Be Given Him. But Let Him Ask In Faith, Nothing Wavering. For He That Wavereth Is Like A Wave Of The Sea Driven With The Wind And Tossed. For Let Not That Man Think That He Shall Receive Any Thing Of The Lord. A Double Minded Man Is Unstable In All His Ways.

Galatians 5:18-25 

But If Ye Be Led Of The Spirit, Ye Are Not Under The Law. Now The Works Of The Flesh Are Manifest, Which Are These; Adultery, Fornication, Uncleanness, Lasciviousness, Idolatry, Witchcraft, Hatred, Variance, Emulations, Wrath, Strife, Seditions, Heresies, Envyings, Murders, Drunkenness, Revellings, And Such Like: Of The Which I Tell You Before, As I Have Also Told You In Time Past, That They Which Do Such Things Shall Not Inherit The Kingdom Of God. BUT THE FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT IS LOVE, JOY, PEACE, LONGSUFFERING, GENTLENESS, GOODNESS, FAITH, MEEKNESS, TEMPERANCE: AGAINST SUCH THERE IS NO LAW. AND THEY THAT ARE CHRIST'S HAVE CRUCIFIED THE FLESH WITH THE AFFECTIONS AND LUSTS. IF WE LIVE IN THE SPIRIT, LET US ALSO WALK IN THE SPIRIT.

Jude 1:24-25 

NOW UNTO HIM THAT IS ABLE TO KEEP YOU FROM FALLING, AND TO PRESENT YOU FAULTLESS BEFORE THE PRESENCE OF HIS GLORY WITH EXCEEDING JOY, TO THE ONLY WISE GOD OUR SAVIOUR, BE GLORY AND MAJESTY, DOMINION AND POWER, BOTH NOW AND EVER. AMEN.

John 3:33-36 

He That Hath Received His Testimony Hath Set To His Seal That God Is True. For He Whom God Hath Sent Speaketh The Words Of God: For God Giveth Not The Spirit By Measure Unto Him. The Father Loveth The Son, And Hath Given All Things Into His Hand. He That Believeth On The Son Hath Everlasting Life: And He That Believeth Not The Son Shall Not See Life; But The Wrath Of God Abideth On Him.

Ephesians 1:13-14

In Whom Ye Also Trusted, After That Ye Heard The Word Of Truth, The Gospel Of Your Salvation: In Whom Also After That Ye Believed, Ye Were Sealed With That Holy Spirit Of Promise, Which Is The Earnest Of Our Inheritance Until The Redemption Of The Purchased Possession, Unto The Praise Of His Glory.

Ephesians 4:30 

And Grieve Not The Holy Spirit Of God, Whereby Ye Are Sealed Unto The Day Of Redemption.

Seal: A Device Or Substance That Is Used To Join Two Things Together So As To Prevent Them From Coming Apart Or To Prevent Anything From Passing Between Them. Apply A Nonporous Coating To (A Surface) To Make It Impervious. To Fasten With Or As If With A Seal To Prevent Tampering; B · To Close Or Make Secure Against Access, Leakage, Or Passage By A Fastening Or Coating. To Close (Something) Tightly So That Air, Liquid, Etc., Cannot Get In Or Out. To Guarantee Security Or Indicate Ownership. 

I Wrote The Definition Of Seal, So That You Can Be Assured And Know That Your Salvation Is Sure. 

John 10:1-5 

Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber. But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out. And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice. And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers.

John 10:27-30

My Sheep Hear My Voice, And I Know Them, And They Follow Me: And I Give Unto Them Eternal Life; And They Shall Never Perish, Neither Shall Any Man Pluck Them Out Of My Hand. My Father, Which Gave Them Me, Is Greater Than All; And No Man Is Able To Pluck Them Out Of My Father's Hand. I And My Father Are One.

THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF THE LAW IS FULFILLED IN THE PERFECT SACRIFICE OF CHRIST JESUS!

THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF THE LAW IS FULFILLED IN THE PERFECT SACRIFICE OF CHRIST JESUS! 

Romans 9:30-32 

What Shall We Say Then? That The Gentiles, Which Followed Not After Righteousness, Have Attained To Righteousness, Even The Righteousness Which Is Of Faith. But Israel, Which Followed After The Law Of Righteousness, Hath Not Attained To The Law Of Righteousness. Wherefore? Because They Sought It Not By Faith, But As It Were By The Works Of The Law. For They Stumbled At That Stumblingstone;

Romans 10:2-10 

For I Bear Them Record That They Have A Zeal Of God, But Not According To Knowledge. For They Being Ignorant Of God's Righteousness, And Going About To Establish Their Own Righteousness, Have Not Submitted Themselves Unto The Righteousness Of God. For Christ Is The End Of The Law For Righteousness To Every One That Believeth. For Moses Describeth The Righteousness Which Is Of The Law, That The Man Which Doeth Those Things Shall Live By Them. But The Righteousness Which Is Of Faith Speaketh On This Wise, Say Not In Thine Heart, Who Shall Ascend Into Heaven? (That Is, To Bring Christ Down From Above:) Or, Who Shall Descend Into The Deep? (That Is, To Bring Up Christ Again From The Dead.) But What Saith It? The Word Is Nigh Thee, Even In Thy Mouth, And In Thy Heart: That Is, The Word Of Faith, Which We Preach; That If Thou Shalt Confess With Thy Mouth The Lord Jesus, And Shalt Believe In Thine Heart That God Hath Raised Him From The Dead, Thou Shalt Be Saved. For With The Heart Man Believeth Unto Righteousness; And With The Mouth Confession Is Made Unto Salvation.

Galatians 2:16-21 

Knowing That A Man Is Not Justified By The Works Of The Law, But By The Faith Of Jesus Christ, Even We Have Believed In Jesus Christ, That We Might Be Justified By The Faith Of Christ, And Not By The Works Of The Law: For By The Works Of The Law Shall No Flesh Be Justified. But If, While We Seek To Be Justified By Christ, We Ourselves Also Are Found Sinners, Is Therefore Christ The Minister Of Sin? God Forbid. For If I Build Again The Things Which I Destroyed, I Make Myself A Transgressor. For I Through The Law Am Dead To The Law, That I Might Live Unto God. I Am Crucified With Christ: Nevertheless I Live; Yet Not I, But Christ Liveth In Me: And The Life Which I Now Live In The Flesh I Live By The Faith Of The Son Of God, Who Loved Me, And Gave Himself For Me. I Do Not Frustrate The Grace Of God: For If Righteousness Come By The Law, Then Christ Is Dead In Vain.

We Are All Sinners Because Of The Law. We Would Not Even Know What Sin Is If It Were Not For The Law. The Law Is Righteous And Those That Keep All Of The Law Of God Are Righteous. But If You Break One Part Of The Law You Have Become A Sinner, Which Means You Have Become Unrighteous. You Must Keep The Whole Law, Not Just Bits And Pieces. No Man Has Ever Or Can Keep The Law Of God Perfectly, Except For Jesus Christ. So Think About It A Minute, If You Tell A Lie And Die, You Have Not Offered A Sacrifice For That Lie So You Are Punished For It. Through Faith In Christ Jesus, We Have Forgiveness Of All Of Our Sins, From The First One To The Last One, At Salvation. Faith In Christ Jesus Means We Have Believed That We Have Died To Our Flesh, Which Is Where Sin Is. Read Colossians 2:11 "In Whom Also Ye Are Circumcised With The Circumcision Made Without Hands, In Putting Off THE BODY OF THE SINS Of The Flesh By The Circumcision Of Christ:" Romans 7:5-6 "For When We Were In The Flesh, The Motions Of SINS, WHICH WERE BY THE LAW, Did Work In Our Members To Bring Forth Fruit Unto Death. But Now We Are Delivered From The Law, That Being Dead Wherein We Were Held; That We Should Serve In Newness Of Spirit, And Not In The Oldness Of The Letter." 1 Peter 4:1 "Forasmuch Then As CHRIST HATH SUFFERED FOR US IN THE FLESH, Arm Yourselves LIKEWISE With The Same Mind: For HE THAT HATH SUFFERED IN THE FLESH HATH CEASED FROM SIN;" Galatians 2:20 "I AM CRUCIFIED WITH CHRIST: Nevertheless I Live; Yet Not I, BUT CHRIST LIVETH IN ME: And The Life Which I Now Live In The Flesh I LIVE BY THE FAITH OF THE SON OF GOD, Who Loved Me, And Gave Himself For Me". So With His Forgiveness, We Are Purged From Our Sins And Don't Even Think About Sin Anymore. Hebrews 10:2b. "Because That The Worshippers Once Purged Should Have Had No More Conscience Of Sins". Christian Who think about being sinful are trying to live The Law WITH Faith, but that does not work. Christians will want to please God so much that they start thinking everything they do is wrong and come short of The Glory Of God. THERE IS WHERE CONDEMNATION COMES IN. But The Bible Says In, Romans 8:1-2 "There Is Therefore Now No Condemnation To Them Which Are In Christ Jesus, Who Walk Not After The Flesh, But After The Spirit. For The Law Of The Spirit Of Life In Christ Jesus Hath Made Me Free From The Law Of Sin And Death". 

FOR CHRIST IS THE END OF THE LAW FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS TO EVERY ONE THAT BELIEVETH! LIVE IN THE RIGHTEOUSNESS THAT JESUS CHRIST DIED FOR YOU TO HAVE! 

Righteousness- 

Morally Upright; Without Guilt Or Sin.

EITHER-OR

EITHER-OR 

Titus 3:1-9 

Put Them In Mind To Be Subject To Principalities And Powers, To Obey Magistrates, To Be Ready To Every Good Work, To Speak Evil Of No Man, To Be No Brawlers, But Gentle, Shewing All Meekness Unto All Men. For We, Ourselves Also Were Sometimes Foolish, Disobedient, Deceived, Serving Divers Lusts And Pleasures, Living In Malice And Envy, Hateful, And Hating One Another. But After That The Kindness And Love Of God Our Saviour Toward Man Appeared, Not By Works Of Righteousness Which We Have Done, But According To His Mercy He Saved Us, By The Washing Of Regeneration, And Renewing Of The Holy Ghost; Which He Shed On Us Abundantly Through Jesus Christ Our Saviour; That Being Justified By His Grace, We Should Be Made Heirs According To The Hope Of Eternal Life. This Is A Faithful Saying, And These Things I Will That Thou Affirm Constantly, That They Which Have Believed In God Might Be Careful To Maintain Good Works. These Things Are Good And Profitable Unto Men. But Avoid Foolish Questions, And Genealogies, And Contentions, And Strivings About The Law; For They Are Unprofitable And Vain.

Romans 6:14

For Sin Shall Not Have Dominion Over You: For Ye Are Not Under The Law, But Under Grace.

Romans 6:15-23 

What Then? Shall We Sin, Because We Are Not Under The Law, But Under Grace? God Forbid. Know Ye Not, That To Whom Ye Yield Yourselves Servants To Obey, His Servants Ye Are To Whom Ye Obey; Whether Of Sin Unto Death, Or Of Obedience Unto Righteousness? But God Be Thanked, That Ye Were The Servants Of Sin, But Ye Have Obeyed From The Heart That Form Of Doctrine Which Was Delivered You. Being Then Made Free From Sin, Ye Became The Servants Of Righteousness. I Speak After The Manner Of Men Because Of The Infirmity Of Your Flesh: For As Ye Have Yielded Your Members Servants To Uncleanness And To Iniquity Unto Iniquity; Even So Now Yield Your Members Servants To Righteousness Unto Holiness. For When Ye Were The Servants Of Sin, Ye Were Free From Righteousness. What Fruit Had Ye Then In Those Things Whereof Ye Are Now Ashamed? For The End Of Those Things Is Death. But Now Being Made Free From Sin, And Become Servants To God, Ye Have Your Fruit Unto Holiness, And The End Everlasting Life. For The Wages Of Sin Is Death; But The Gift Of God Is Eternal Life Through Jesus Christ Our Lord.

1 John 3:7-10 

Little Children, Let No Man Deceive You: He That Doeth Righteousness Is Righteous, Even As He Is Righteous. He That Committeth Sin Is Of The Devil; For The Devil Sinneth From The Beginning. For This Purpose, The Son Of God Was Manifested, That He Might Destroy The Works Of The Devil. Whosoever Is Born Of God Doth Not Commit Sin; For His Seed Remaineth In Him: And He Cannot Sin, Because He Is Born Of God. In This The Children Of God Are Manifest, And The Children Of The Devil: Whosoever Doeth Not Righteousness Is Not Of God, Neither He That Loveth Not His Brother.

I read a post on FB the other day, and the main topic of discussion was, your sin and my sin. One said a certain thing is a sin, and someone else said another thing is a sin too. It was like yours is worse than mine type of conversation, back and forth between the two. We can talk all day long about sin. Everyone can point out which one they think is the worse. But in truth, it was two people in an argument, and both were in complete ignorance of the word of God. These two were trying to prove a point and the whole conversation was pointless. It is so sad to see these things written because they only do damage. If the lost soul reads posts like this they will have no reason to repent of their sins and ask Jesus Christ to save them. I ca babe in Christ reads things like that, then they will be in total confusion. Read your Bible before you write or say anything in the seeing or hearing of others. Jesus Christ gave us our commands in, John 15:10-12 

"If Ye Keep My Commandments, Ye Shall Abide In My Love; Even As I Have Kept My Father's Commandments, And Abide In His Love. These Things Have I Spoken Unto You, That My Joy Might Remain In You, And That Your Joy Might Be Full. THIS IS MY COMMANDMENT, THAT YE LOVE ONE ANOTHER, AS I HAVE LOVED YOU." 

There is no joy in arguing over sin. Preach And Teach Love, Preach And Teach Jesus Christ.

" Ye Are To Whom Ye Obey; Whether Of Sin Unto Death, Or Of Obedience Unto Righteousness." That is an either-or, not a both, statement.

John 2:15

And When He Had Made A Scourge Of Small Cords, He Drove Them All Out Of The Temple, And The Sheep, And The Oxen; And Poured Out The Changers' Money, And Overthrew The Tables;

Galatians 2:11

But When Peter Was Come To Antioch, I Withstood Him To The Face, Because He Was To Be Blamed.

Mark 6:34 

And Jesus, When He Came Out, Saw Much People, And Was Moved With Compassion Toward Them, Because They Were As Sheep Not Having A Shepherd: And He Began To Teach Them Many Things.

We Need To Teach People With Love. We Need To Be Strong In The Faith, Yes But Not Mean. There Are Christians Who Will Say, Jesus, Overthrew The Tables And Confronted Men. These Are Usually People Who Are Combative With Their Faith. 

We Need To Know Who We Are Talking To When We Speak. For Example, When Jesus Christ Overthrew The Tables, And Paul Withstood Peter, They Were Rebuking People Who Knew The Truth, But Did Not Live It Or Teach It. Look At Jesus When He Taught Regular People, He Sat Down With Them, He Was Moved With Compassion And Taught Them With Great Love. Jesus Christ And Paul Both Withstood Men Who Were Teaching In Error, They Had Righteous Anger, Which Is Justified. Jesus Christ, and Paul both told the people where they were in error and proved it. Jesus said in, Mark 11:17 "And He Taught, Saying Unto Them, Is It Not Written, My House Shall Be Called Of All Nations The House Of Prayer? But Ye Have Made It A Den Of Thieves." Paul said in, Galatians 2:14 "But when I saw that they walked not uprightly according to the truth of the gospel, I said unto Peter before them all, If thou, being a Jew, livest after the manner of Gentiles, and not as do the Jews, why compellest thou the Gentiles to live as do the Jews?"

Not All Disagreements Between Christians Are Righteous And Justified. Read Your Bible And Know How To Reach The People You Are Speaking To.

LIFE THROUGH HIS NAME

LIFE THROUGH HIS NAME 

Isaiah 42:6-7 

I The Lord Have Called Thee In Righteousness, And Will Hold Thine Hand, And Will Keep Thee, And Give Thee For A Covenant Of The People, For A Light Of The Gentiles; To Open The Blind Eyes, To Bring Out The Prisoners From The Prison, And Them That Sit In Darkness Out Of The Prison House.

John 3:15-21 

That Whosoever Believeth In Him Should Not Perish, But Have ETERNAL LIFE. For God So Loved The World, That He Gave His Only Begotten Son, That Whosoever Believeth In Him Should Not Perish, But Have EVERLASTING LIFE. For God Sent Not His Son Into The World To Condemn The World; But That The World Through Him Might Be SAVED. He That Believeth On Him Is Not Condemned: But He That Believeth Not Is Condemned Already, Because He Hath Not Believed In The Name Of The Only Begotten Son Of God. And This Is The Condemnation, That Light Is Come Into The World, And Men Loved Darkness Rather Than Light, Because Their Deeds Were Evil. For Every One That Doeth Evil Hateth The Light, Neither Cometh To The Light, Lest His Deeds Should Be Reproved. But He That Doeth Truth Cometh To The Light, That His Deeds May Be Made Manifest, That They Are Wrought In God.

Acts 4:12

NEITHER IS THERE SALVATION IN ANY OTHER: FOR THERE IS NONE OTHER NAME UNDER HEAVEN GIVEN AMONG MEN, WHEREBY WE MUST BE SAVED.

John 20:29-31 

Jesus Saith Unto Him, Thomas, Because Thou Hast Seen Me, Thou Hast Believed: Blessed Are They That Have Not Seen, And Yet Have Believed. And Many Other Signs Truly Did Jesus In The Presence Of His Disciples, Which Are Not Written In This Book: But THESE ARE WRITTEN, THAT YE MIGHT BELIEVE THAT JESUS IS THE CHRIST, THE SON OF GOD; AND THAT BELIEVING YE MIGHT HAVE LIFE THROUGH HIS NAME.

We Need To Teach And Preach Jesus Christ, And His Sacrifice. Faith In His Perfection Is What Saves. We Want To Judge And Condemn Others For What They Are Doing, But That Will Not Save Them From Their Sin, Only Jesus Christ Can. We Can Tell People What They Are Doing Is Wrong, But They Think You're Judgemental, Mean, Or Just Uncool. Tell Them In Love About Jesus Christ And He Will Do The Rest. Remember, God Sent Not His Son Into The World To Condemn The World; But That The World Through Him Might Be Saved. Preach And Teach Love, Preach And Teach Jesus Christ.

Romans 6:14 

For Sin Shall Not Have Dominion Over You: For Ye Are Not Under The Law, But Under Grace.

Romans 7:7 

What Shall We Say Then? Is The Law Sin? God Forbid. Nay, I Had Not Known Sin, But By The Law: For I Had Not Known Lust, Except The Law Had Said, Thou Shalt Not Covet.

Romans 3:20 

Therefore By The Deeds Of The Law There Shall No Flesh Be Justified In His Sight: For By The Law Is The Knowledge Of Sin.

Hebrews 9:9 

Which Was A Figure For The Time Then Present, In Which Were Offered Both Gifts And Sacrifices, That Could Not Make Him That Did The Service Perfect, As Pertaining To The Conscience;

Hebrews 10:2 

For Then Would They Not Have Ceased To Be Offered? Because That The Worshippers Once Purged Should Have Had No More Conscience Of Sins.

Galatians 3:21-22 

Is The Law Then Against The Promises Of God? God Forbid: For If There Had Been A Law Given Which Could Have Given Life, Verily Righteousness Should Have Been By The Law. But The Scripture Hath Concluded All Under Sin, That The Promise By Faith Of Jesus Christ Might Be Given To Them That Believe.

Galatians 2:16,20-21 

Knowing That A Man Is Not Justified By The Works Of The Law, But By The Faith Of Jesus Christ, Even We Have Believed In Jesus Christ, That We Might Be Justified By The Faith Of Christ, And Not By The Works Of The Law: For By The Works Of The Law Shall No Flesh Be Justified. 

[20] I Am Crucified With Christ: Nevertheless, I Live; Yet Not I, But Christ Liveth In Me: And The Life Which I Now Live In The Flesh I Live By The Faith Of The Son Of God, Who Loved Me, And Gave Himself For Me. 

I Do Not Frustrate The Grace Of God: For If Righteousness Come By The Law, Then Christ Is Dead In Vain.

1 Corinthians 15:17 

And If Christ Be Not Raised, Your Faith Is Vain; Ye Are Yet In Your Sins.

Acts 13:37-39 

But He, Whom God Raised Again, Saw No Corruption. Be It Known Unto You, Therefore, Men And Brethren, That Through This Man Is Preached Unto You The Forgiveness Of Sins: And By Him All That Believe Are Justified From All Things, From Which Ye Could Not Be Justified By The Law Of Moses.

1 Corinthians 6:11 

AND SUCH WERE SOME OF YOU: BUT YE ARE WASHED, BUT YE ARE SANCTIFIED, BUT YE ARE JUSTIFIED IN THE NAME OF THE LORD JESUS, AND BY THE SPIRIT OF OUR GOD.

Romans 3:28 

THEREFORE WE CONCLUDE THAT A MAN IS JUSTIFIED BY FAITH WITHOUT THE DEEDS OF THE LAW.

A BETTER HOPE DID

A BETTER HOPE DID

Ezekiel 36:26-27 

A New Heart Also Will I Give You, And A New Spirit Will I Put Within You: And I Will Take Away The Stony Heart Out Of Your Flesh, And I Will Give You An Heart Of Flesh. And I Will Put My Spirit Within You, And Cause You To Walk In My Statutes, And Ye Shall Keep My Judgments, And Do Them.

Hebrews 10:1-4,9-23 

For The Law Having A Shadow Of Good Things To Come, And Not The Very Image Of The Things, Can Never With Those Sacrifices Which They Offered Year By Year Continually Make The Comers Thereunto Perfect. For Then Would They Not Have Ceased To Be Offered? Because That The Worshippers Once Purged Should Have Had No More Conscience Of Sins. But In Those Sacrifices There Is A Remembrance Again Made Of Sins Every Year. For It Is Not Possible That The Blood Of Bulls And Of Goats Should Take Away Sins. 

[9] Then Said He, Lo, I Come To Do Thy Will, O God. He Taketh Away The First, That He May Establish The Second. By The Which Will We Are Sanctified Through The Offering Of The Body Of Jesus Christ Once For All. And Every Priest Standeth Daily Ministering And Offering Oftentimes The Same Sacrifices, Which Can Never Take Away Sins: But This Man, After He Had Offered One Sacrifice For Sins For Ever, Sat Down On The Right Hand Of God; From Henceforth Expecting Till His Enemies Be Made His Footstool. For By One Offering He Hath Perfected For Ever Them That Are Sanctified. Whereof The Holy Ghost Also Is A Witness To Us: For After That He Had Said Before, This Is The Covenant That I Will Make With Them After Those Days, Saith The Lord, I Will Put My Laws Into Their Hearts, And In Their Minds Will I Write Them; And Their Sins And Iniquities Will I Remember No More. Now Where Remission Of These Is, There Is No More Offering For Sin. Having Therefore, Brethren, Boldness To Enter Into The Holiest By The Blood Of Jesus, By A New And Living Way, Which He Hath Consecrated For Us, Through The Veil, That Is To Say, His Flesh; And Having An High Priest Over The House Of God; Let Us Draw Near With A True Heart In Full Assurance Of Faith, Having Our Hearts Sprinkled From An Evil Conscience, And Our Bodies Washed With Pure Water. Let Us Hold Fast The Profession Of Our Faith Without Wavering; (For He Is Faithful That Promised;)

Hebrews 7:22-25 

 By So Much Was Jesus Made A Surety Of A Better Testament. And They Truly Were Many Priests, Because They Were Not Suffered To Continue By Reason Of Death: But This Man, Because He Continueth Ever, Hath An Unchangeable Priesthood. Wherefore He Is Able Also To Save Them To The Uttermost That Come Unto God By Him, Seeing He Ever Liveth To Make Intercession For Them.

Hebrews 7:19

FOR THE LAW MADE NOTHING PERFECT, BUT THE BRINGING IN OF A BETTER HOPE DID; BY THE WHICH WE DRAW NIGH UNTO GOD.

Luke 17:32 

Remember Lot's Wife.

Philippians 3:13-15

Brethren, I Count Not Myself To Have Apprehended: But This One Thing I Do, Forgetting Those Things Which Are Behind, And Reaching Forth Unto Those Things Which Are Before, I Press Toward The Mark For The Prize Of The High Calling Of God In Christ Jesus. Let Us Therefore, As Many As Be Perfect, Be Thus Minded: And If In Any Thing Ye Be Otherwise Minded, God Shall Reveal Even This Unto You.

Hebrews 10:22-24 

Let Us Draw Near With A True Heart In Full Assurance Of Faith, Having Our Hearts Sprinkled From An Evil Conscience, And Our Bodies Washed With Pure Water. Let Us Hold Fast The Profession Of Our Faith Without Wavering; (For He Is Faithful That Promised;) And Let Us Consider One Another To Provoke Unto Love And To Good Works:

2 Timothy 1:11-14

Whereunto I Am Appointed A Preacher, And An Apostle, And A Teacher Of The Gentiles. For The Which Cause I Also Suffer These Things: Nevertheless I Am Not Ashamed: For I Know Whom I Have Believed, And Am Persuaded That He Is Able To Keep That Which I Have Committed Unto Him Against That Day. Hold Fast The Form Of Sound Words, Which Thou Hast Heard Of Me, In Faith And Love Which Is In Christ Jesus. That Good Thing Which Was Committed Unto Thee Keep By The Holy Ghost Which Dwelleth In Us.

2 Timothy 3:14 

But Continue Thou In The Things Which Thou Hast Learned And Hast Been Assured Of, Knowing Of Whom Thou Hast Learned Them;

Ephesians 4:14-15

That We Henceforth Be No More Children, Tossed To And Fro, And Carried About With Every Wind Of Doctrine, By The Sleight Of Men, And Cunning Craftiness, Whereby They Lie In Wait To Deceive; But Speaking The Truth In Love, May Grow Up Into Him In All Things, Which Is The Head, Even Christ. 

Holidays are a time to be thankful for your many Blessing in this life and the one that is to come. 

Holidays are also a time of reminiscing and thinking about fond, funny, or even sad memories. 

Let me just say that these memories can also strengthen your fondness for this world, and strengthen the world's hold on you. Remembering the past makes your heart and mind go there like it was yesterday. I know who I was before Salvation, and I know who is am today, I don't want to go back there again. I want to forget those things which are behind and reach forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. I also want everyone I know to go with me, I don't want to be stuck in the past. You may never talk to your family and friends again, what do you want them to know about you today? 

Christians Know The Now, And The Future Is About Life And Death, It Is Not In The Fondness Of The Past. 

1 Corinthians 15:57-58 

But Thanks Be To God, Which Giveth Us The Victory Through Our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, My Beloved Brethren, Be Ye Stedfast, Unmoveable, Always Abounding In The Work Of The Lord, Forasmuch As Ye Know That Your Labour Is Not In Vain In The Lord

EVEN AS HE IS

EVEN AS HE IS

Colossians 2:11 

IN WHOM ALSO YE ARE CIRCUMCISED WITH THE CIRCUMCISION MADE WITHOUT HANDS, IN PUTTING OFF THE BODY OF THE SINS OF THE FLESH BY THE CIRCUMCISION OF CHRIST:

Colossians 2:10 

AND YE ARE COMPLETE IN HIM, WHICH IS THE HEAD OF ALL PRINCIPALITY AND POWER:

If You Believe In Christ Jesus, Then His Crucifixion Is Your Crucifixion, His Sacrifice Is Your Sacrifice, His Circumcision Is Your Circumcision, His Justification Is Your Justification, His Sanctification Is Your Sanctification, His Righteousness Is Your Righteousness, His Death Is Death Is Your Death, His Stay In Hell Is Your Stay In Hell, His Resurrection Is Your Resurrection, His Spirit Is Your Spirit, His Home Is Your Home, His Eternal Life Is Your Eternal Life, His Father Is Your Father. 

You Have Everything You Need In Christ Jesus, You Are Complete In Him. 

1 John 3:3 

AND EVERY MAN THAT HATH THIS HOPE IN HIM PURIFIETH HIMSELF, EVEN AS HE IS PURE.

1 John 3:1-2,7 

Behold, What Manner Of Love The Father Hath Bestowed Upon Us, That We Should Be Called The Sons Of God: Therefore The World Knoweth Us Not, Because It Knew Him Not. Beloved, Now Are We The Sons Of God, And It Doth Not Yet Appear What We Shall Be: But We Know That, When He Shall Appear, We Shall Be Like Him; For We Shall See Him As He Is. 

[7] LITTLE CHILDREN, LET NO MAN DECEIVE YOU: HE THAT DOETH RIGHTEOUSNESS IS RIGHTEOUS, EVEN AS HE IS RIGHTEOUS.

GOD SAID,

GOD SAID, 

Isaiah 43:15,25 

I Am The Lord, Your Holy One, The Creator Of Israel, Your King. 

[25] I, Even I, Am He That Blotteth Out Thy Transgressions For Mine Own Sake, And Will Not Remember Thy Sins.

Isaiah 44:22-24 

I Have Blotted Out, As A Thick Cloud, Thy Transgressions, And, As A Cloud, Thy Sins: Return Unto Me; For I Have Redeemed Thee. Sing, O Ye Heavens; For The Lord Hath Done It: Shout, Ye Lower Parts Of The Earth: Break Forth Into Singing, Ye Mountains, O Forest, And Every Tree Therein: For The Lord Hath Redeemed Jacob, And Glorified Himself In Israel. Thus Saith The Lord, Thy Redeemer, And He That Formed Thee From The Womb, I Am The Lord That Maketh All Things; That Stretcheth Forth The Heavens Alone; That Spreadeth Abroad The Earth By Myself;

1 Peter 1:18-23

Forasmuch As Ye Know That Ye Were Not Redeemed With Corruptible Things, As Silver And Gold, From Your Vain Conversation Received By Tradition From Your Fathers; But With The Precious Blood Of Christ, As Of A Lamb Without Blemish And Without Spot: Who Verily Was Foreordained Before The Foundation Of The World, But Was Manifest In These Last Times For You, Who By Him Do Believe In God, That Raised Him Up From The Dead, And Gave Him Glory; That Your Faith And Hope Might Be In God. Seeing Ye Have Purified Your Souls In Obeying The Truth Through The Spirit Unto Unfeigned Love Of The Brethren, See That Ye Love One Another With A Pure Heart Fervently: Being Born Again, Not Of Corruptible Seed, But Of Incorruptible, By The Word Of God, Which Liveth And Abideth For Ever.

Colossians 2:10-15 

And Ye Are Complete In Him, Which Is The Head Of All Principality And Power: In Whom Also Ye Are Circumcised With The Circumcision Made Without Hands, In Putting Off The Body Of The Sins Of The Flesh By The Circumcision Of Christ: Buried With Him In Baptism, Wherein Also Ye Are Risen With Him Through The Faith Of The Operation Of God, Who Hath Raised Him From The Dead. And You, Being Dead In Your Sins And The Uncircumcision Of Your Flesh, Hath He Quickened Together With Him, Having Forgiven You All Trespasses; Blotting Out The Handwriting Of Ordinances That Was Against Us, Which Was Contrary To Us, And Took It Out Of The Way, Nailing It To His Cross; And Having Spoiled Principalities And Powers, He Made A Shew Of Them Openly, Triumphing Over Them In It.

AND YE ARE COMPLETE IN HIM! 

I HAVE BLOTTED OUT THY TRANSGRESSIONS FOR MINE OWN SAKE. 

FOR I HAVE REDEEMED THEE. SING! 

FOR THE LORD HATH DONE IT: SHOUT! 

He That Formed Thee From The Womb Hath Redeemed Thee With The Precious Blood Of Christ! You, Being Dead In Your Sins And The Uncircumcision Of Your Flesh, Hath He Quickened Together With Him, Having Forgiven You All Trespasses; Blotting Out The Handwriting Of Ordinances That Was Against Us, Which Was Contrary To Us, And Took It Out Of The Way, Nailing It To His Cross! SING! SHOUT! 

SEEING YE HAVE PURIFIED YOUR SOULS IN OBEYING THE TRUTH THROUGH THE SPIRIT UNTO UNFEIGNED LOVE OF THE BRETHREN, SEE THAT YE LOVE ONE ANOTHER WITH A PURE HEART FERVENTLY.

Are You Opposing The Word Of God?

Are You Opposing The Word Of God? 

Hebrews 5:12-14,6:1-3

For When For The Time Ye Ought To Be Teachers, Ye Have Need That One Teach You Again Which Be The First Principles Of The Oracles Of God; And Are Become Such As Have Need Of Milk, And Not Of Strong Meat. For Every One That Useth Milk Is Unskilful In The Word Of Righteousness: For He Is A Babe. But Strong Meat Belongeth To Them That Are Of Full Age, Even Those Who By Reason Of Use Have Their Senses Exercised To Discern Both Good And Evil. Therefore Leaving The Principles Of The Doctrine Of Christ, Let Us Go On Unto Perfection; Not Laying Again The Foundation Of Repentance From Dead Works, And Of Faith Toward God, Of The Doctrine Of Baptisms, And Of Laying On Of Hands, And Of Resurrection Of The Dead, And Of Eternal Judgment. And This Will We Do, If God Permit.

So Many Christians Cannot Agree On Matters Such As Baptism, Days Of Worship, And Which Denomination They Want To Assemble With. But, In Truth, These Are All Things That Only Separate The Believers In Christ Jesus. Man Has Turned So Many Things Of Opinion Into Things To Be Argued Over. Don't Be Deceived By Opinions, Know The Word Of God. 

After Salvation, We Begin To Understand That There Is A Spiritual Side To Everything. We Can Only Know Spiritual Things Because Of The Holy Spirit Living Within Us. Before Salvation, We Were Dead To Spiritual Things. As Christians, We Are To Grow In Knowledge, Not Just Stay Babes In Christ. The Principles Of The Doctrine Of Christ Should Be Firmly Settled And Moved On From, Not Be Argued Over Daily. We Still Have Christians That Do Not Know What Is Good Or Evil. It Is Imperitive That A Christian Know And Teach, Thess Scriptures In Galatians 5:19-21,24-25 

"Now The Works Of The Flesh Are Manifest, Which Are These; Adultery, Fornication, Uncleanness, Lasciviousness, Idolatry, Witchcraft, Hatred, Variance, Emulations, Wrath, Strife, Seditions, Heresies, Envyings, Murders, Drunkenness, Revellings, And Such Like: Of The Which I Tell You Before, As I Have Also Told You In Time Past, That They Which Do Such Things Shall Not Inherit The Kingdom Of God. 

[24] And They That Are Christ's Have Crucified The Flesh With The Affections And Lusts. If We Live In The Spirit, Let Us Also Walk In The Spirit."

If You Do Not Know The Meanings Of These Words, Look Them Up, Grow In Knowledge. 

We Have Christians That Believe The Way They Used To Before Salvation. They Absolutely Have No Spiritual Growth Whatsoever. These Are People That Go To Church, They May Even Work In Christian Schools, But Still, Live In The Mindset Of The World. Christians Need To Know The Spiritual Side Of Things, Because It Is Dangerous To Be Carnally-minded. To Be Carnally Minded Is Enmity Against God And Is Death. Romans 8:6

For To Be Carnally Minded Is Death; But To Be Spiritually Minded Is Life And Peace.

We Should Not Be Differing Over Things That Should Be Settled, Especially When It's The Things About Good And Evil.

AN HEIR OF GOD THROUGH CHRIST

 AN HEIR OF GOD THROUGH CHRIST

Galatians 4:1-11
Now I Say, That The Heir, As Long As He Is A Child, Differeth Nothing From A Servant, Though He Be Lord Of All; But Is Under Tutors And Governors Until The Time Appointed Of The Father. Even So, We, When We Were Children, Were In Bondage Under The Elements Of The World: But When The Fulness Of The Time Was Come, God Sent Forth His Son, Made Of A Woman, Made Under The Law, To Redeem Them That Were Under The Law, That We Might Receive The Adoption Of Sons. And Because Ye Are Sons, God Hath Sent Forth The Spirit Of His Son Into Your Hearts, Crying, Abba, Father. Wherefore Thou Art No More A Servant, But A Son; And If A Son, Then An Heir Of God Through Christ. Howbeit Then, When Ye Knew Not God, Ye Did Service Unto Them Which By Nature Are No Gods. But Now, After That Ye Have Known God, Or Rather Are Known Of God, How Turn Ye Again To The Weak And Beggarly Elements, Whereunto Ye Desire Again To Be In Bondage? Ye Observe Days, And Months, And Times, And Years. I Am Afraid Of You, Lest I Have Bestowed Upon You Labour In Vain.

2 Corinthians 3:17
Now The Lord Is That Spirit: And Where The Spirit Of The Lord Is, There Is Liberty.

Paul Taught The Jewish People Who Knew The Law And Were Under The Law, Jesus Christ. Paul Used The Law To Show Them How Jesus Was Sent To Be Under The Law To Redeem Them. There Is Bondage Under The Law. As Paul said in, 2 Corinthians 3:14-15
"But Their Minds Were Blinded: For Until This Day Remaineth The Same Vail Untaken Away In The Reading Of The Old Testament; Which Vail Is Done Away In Christ. But Even Unto This Day, When Moses Is Read, The Vail Is Upon Their Heart." Notice, Paul Said, The Old Testament, And Moses, That Is Where The Law Is. The Old Testament Is Where The Blindness Still Is. The Old Testament Is Where The Sacrifice, The Altar, And The Temple That Is Made By Hands Are. The Old Testament Is Where The Washings, Observance Of Days, Moons, Crops, And Tithing Is. The New Testament Is Where Jesus Christ, The Holy Spirit, And Liberty Are. The New Testament Is Where We Are. Very True There Are So Many Wonderfully And Amazing Occurrences In The Old Testament, Creation, Prophecies Of The Lord, And His Sacrifice To Redeem The Jewish People And The Gentiles, Heroic Men Doing The Work Of God, But We Are New Testament Christians. Jesus said in, Luke 16:16
"The Law And The Prophets Were Until John: Since That Time The Kingdom Of God Is Preached, And Every Man Presseth Into It."

CHRISTIANS ARE BORN AGAIN OF THE SPIRIT OF CHRIST, CHILDREN OF GOD, FREE!

WHO SHALL DELIVER ME FROM THE BODY OF THIS DEATH? THE ANSWER IS JESUS!

 WHO SHALL DELIVER ME FROM THE BODY OF THIS DEATH? THE ANSWER IS JESUS! 

Romans 7:1 

Know Ye Not, Brethren, (FOR I SPEAK TO THEM THAT KNOW THE LAW,) How That The Law Hath Dominion Over A Man As Long As He Liveth?

Romans 7:10-25, 8:1

And The Commandment, Which Was Ordained To Life, I Found To Be Unto Death. For Sin, Taking Occasion By The Commandment, Deceived Me, And By It Slew Me. Wherefore The Law Is Holy, And The Commandment Holy, And Just, And Good. Was Then That Which Is Good Made Death Unto Me? God Forbid. But Sin, That It Might Appear Sin, Working Death In Me By That Which Is Good; That Sin By The Commandment Might Become Exceeding Sinful. For We Know That The Law Is Spiritual: But I Am Carnal, Sold Under Sin. For That Which I Do I Allow Not: For What I Would, That Do I Not; But What I Hate, That Do I. If Then I Do That Which I Would Not, I Consent Unto The Law That It Is Good. Now Then It Is No More I That Do It, But Sin That Dwelleth In Me. For I Know That In Me (THAT IS, IN MY FLESH,) Dwelleth No Good Thing: For To Will Is Present With Me; But How To Perform That Which Is Good I Find Not. For The Good That I Would I Do Not: But The Evil Which I Would Not, That I Do. Now If I Do That I Would Not, It Is No More I That Do It, But Sin That Dwelleth In Me. I Find Then A Law, That, When I Would Do Good, Evil Is Present With Me. For I Delight In The Law Of God After The Inward Man: But I See Another Law In My Members, Warring Against The Law Of My Mind, And Bringing Me Into Captivity To The Law Of Sin Which Is In My Members. O Wretched Man That I Am! Who Shall Deliver Me From The Body Of This Death? I Thank God Through Jesus Christ Our Lord. So Then With The Mind I Myself Serve The Law Of God; But With The Flesh The Law Of Sin. There Is Therefore Now No Condemnation To Them Which Are In Christ Jesus, Who Walk Not After The Flesh, But After The Spirit. For The Law Of The Spirit Of Life In Christ Jesus Hath Made Me Free From The Law Of Sin And Death. For What The Law Could Not Do, In That It Was Weak Through The Flesh, God Sending His Own Son In The Likeness Of Sinful Flesh, And For Sin, Condemned Sin In The Flesh: That The Righteousness Of The Law Might Be Fulfilled In Us, Who Walk Not After The Flesh, But After The Spirit. For They That Are After The Flesh Do Mind The Things Of The Flesh; But They That Are After The Spirit The Things Of The Spirit. For To Be Carnally Minded Is Death; But To Be Spiritually Minded Is Life And Peace. Because The Carnal Mind Is Enmity Against God: For It Is Not Subject To The Law Of God, Neither Indeed Can Be. So Then They That Are In The Flesh Cannot Please God. But Ye Are Not In The Flesh, But In The Spirit, If So Be That The Spirit Of God Dwell In You. Now If Any Man Have Not The Spirit Of Christ, He Is None Of His. And If Christ Be In You, The Body Is Dead Because Of Sin; But The Spirit Is Life Because Of Righteousness. But If The Spirit Of Him That Raised Up Jesus From The Dead Dwell In You, He That Raised Up Christ From The Dead Shall Also Quicken Your Mortal Bodies By His Spirit That Dwelleth In You. Therefore, Brethren, We Are Debtors, Not To The Flesh, To Live After The Flesh. For If Ye Live After The Flesh, Ye Shall Die: But If Ye Through The Spirit Do Mortify The Deeds Of The Body, Ye Shall Live. For As Many As Are Led By The Spirit Of God, They Are The Sons Of God. For Ye Have Not Received The Spirit Of Bondage Again To Fear; But Ye Have Received The Spirit Of Adoption, Whereby We Cry, Abba, Father. The Spirit Itself Beareth Witness With Our Spirit, That We Are The Children Of God:

Romans 7:1 

Know Ye Not, Brethren, (For I Speak To Them That Know The Law,) How That The Law Hath Dominion Over A Man As Long As He Liveth?

Romans 8:2 

For The Law Of The Spirit Of Life In Christ Jesus Hath Made Me Free From The Law Of Sin And Death.

John 3:3,5-6 

Jesus Answered And Said Unto Him, Verily, Verily, I Say Unto Thee, Except A Man Be Born Again, He Cannot See The Kingdom Of God. 

[5]Jesus Answered, Verily, Verily, I Say Unto Thee, Except A Man Be Born Of Water And Of The Spirit, He Cannot Enter Into The Kingdom Of God. That Which Is Born Of The Flesh Is Flesh; And That Which Is Born Of The Spirit Is Spirit.

Romans 6:14,17-23 

For Sin Shall Not Have Dominion Over You: For Ye Are Not Under The Law, But Under Grace. 

[17] But God Be Thanked, That Ye Were The Servants Of Sin, But Ye Have Obeyed From The Heart That Form Of Doctrine Which Was Delivered You.  Being Then Made Free From Sin, Ye Became The Servants Of Righteousness. I Speak After The Manner Of Men Because Of The Infirmity Of Your Flesh: For As Ye Have Yielded Your Members Servants To Uncleanness And To Iniquity Unto Iniquity; Even So Now Yield Your Members Servants To Righteousness Unto Holiness. For When Ye Were The Servants Of Sin, Ye Were Free From Righteousness. What Fruit Had Ye Then In Those Things Whereof Ye Are Now Ashamed? For The End Of Those Things Is Death. But Now Being Made Free From Sin, And Become Servants To God, Ye Have Your Fruit Unto Holiness, And The End Everlasting Life. For The Wages Of Sin Is Death; But The Gift Of God Is Eternal Life Through Jesus Christ Our Lord.

When You're Under The Law You Are In A Warfare Between Your Flesh And Your Mind. You Know To Do To Did Good But The Sin That Is In You Does Wrong. You Are In Complete Turmoil And Torture,  Like A Slave Being Tormented By Their Master. As You See In The Scriptures Above Paul Even Yelled Out, O Wretched Man That I Am! Who Shall Deliver Me From The Body Of This Death? Can't You Just Hear The Torment In His Voice? He Was Saying, Being Under The Law Is A Battle That You Can Never Win Because You Are In The Flesh. Under The Law Is Where The Condemnation Is. But, Watch The Change When Paul Talks About Jesus And The Spirit. There Is Therefore Now No Condemnation To Them Which Are In Christ Jesus, Who Walk Not After The Flesh, But After The Spirit. Once You Have Been Born Again Of The Spirit You Are No Longer Flesh, But Spirit. Galatians 5:18,24

But If Ye Be Led Of The Spirit, Ye Are Not Under The Law. [24] And They That Are Christ's Have Crucified The Flesh With The Affections And Lusts. You Have Been Set Free Of Sin In Your Flesh Because Your Flesh Has Been Crucified With Christ Jesus. You Have Put To Death Your Flesh And The Sin In It.

Paul Cried Out In Despair Und The Law, But In The Spirit He Said, For The Law Of The Spirit Of Life In Christ Jesus Hath Made Me Free From The Law Of Sin And Death. 

WHO SHALL DELIVER ME FROM THE BODY OF THIS DEATH? THE ANSWER IS JESUS!

IN THE BODY OF HIS FLESH THROUGH DEATH

 IN THE BODY OF HIS FLESH THROUGH DEATH

Colossians 1:20-22

And, Having Made Peace Through The Blood Of His Cross, By Him To Reconcile All Things Unto Himself; By Him, I Say, Whether They Be Things In Earth, Or Things In Heaven. And You, That Were Sometime Alienated And Enemies In Your Mind By Wicked Works, Yet Now Hath He Reconciled In The Body Of His Flesh Through Death, To Present You Holy And Unblameable And Unreproveable In His Sight:

Galatians 2:20-21 

I Am Crucified With Christ: Nevertheless, I Live; Yet Not I, But Christ Liveth In Me: And The Life Which I Now Live In The Flesh I Live By The Faith Of The Son Of God, Who Loved Me, And Gave Himself For Me. I Do Not Frustrate The Grace Of God: For If Righteousness Come By The Law, Then Christ Is Dead In Vain.

Galatians 5:24 

And They That Are Christ's Have Crucified The Flesh With The Affections And Lusts.

Romans 6:6-11 

Knowing This, That Our Old Man Is Crucified With Him, That The Body Of Sin Might Be Destroyed, That Henceforth We Should Not Serve Sin. For He That Is Dead Is Freed From Sin. Now If We Be Dead With Christ, We Believe That We Shall Also Live With Him: Knowing That Christ Being Raised From The Dead Dieth No More; Death Hath No More Dominion Over Him. For In That He Died, He Died Unto Sin Once: But In That He Liveth, He Liveth Unto God. Likewise Reckon Ye Also Yourselves To Be Dead Indeed Unto Sin, But Alive Unto God Through Jesus Christ Our Lord.

Romans 3:20-21 

Therefore By The Deeds Of The Law, There Shall No Flesh Be Justified In His Sight: For By The Law Is The Knowledge Of Sin. But Now The Righteousness Of God Without The Law Is Manifested, Being Witnessed By The Law And The Prophets;

Hebrews 10:2,14,18-20

For Then Would They Not Have Ceased To Be Offered? Because That The Worshippers Once Purged Should Have Had No More Conscience Of Sins. 

[14] For By One Offering He Hath Perfected For Ever Them That Are Sanctified. 

[18] Now Where Remission Of These Is, There Is No More Offering For Sin. Having, Therefore, Brethren, Boldness To Enter Into The Holiest By The Blood Of Jesus,  By A New And Living Way, Which He Hath Consecrated For Us, Through The Veil, That Is To Say, His Flesh;

HAVE NO MORE CONSCIENCE OF SINS, BECAUSE

WE ARE SANCTIFIED BY HIM AND HE HAS PERFECTED US FOREVER! WE ARE CRUCIFIED WITH CHRIST, WE THAT ARE DEAD ARE FREED FROM SIN, THROUGH THE BODY OF HIS FLESH AND HIS DEATH. 

1 John 4:4 

Ye Are Of God, Little Children, And Have Overcome Them: Because Greater Is He That Is In You, Than He That Is In The World.
