As I study God's word and see through the eyes of the Spirit, I see God's plans and purposes. You know, when we preach the Gospel of the Grace of God, many are quick to point out that it's not a license to sin. Indeed, it's not. But, it's sad that many of God's people are yet to be acquainted with the truth of what God did concerning sin. Do you know what God did concerning sin? Let me tell you: he made Jesus sin and by his predetermination, Jesus died. What's the result of this? Romans 6:7, 'For he that is dead is freed from sin.' 1 Peter 4:1-2, '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; That he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will of God.' Have you realized this? Do you reckon it so? God's Word gives an accurate diagnosis of the state of the believer who meddles in sin. 2 Peter 1:9, 'But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins.' The one who sins has forgotten he is no longer a sinner, no longer at war with God. Righteousness consciousness is the mother of right living. Bless God for that which his love has wrought for us in Christ Jesus! #Light #Pleroma
