Embrace new life, don't let ourselves be held back, by the power of sin, that we have been set free from.
Sin to a lot of people is just a word. Well so is 'sickness', and just like sin, it can stop you from doing things. In particular 'sin' can stop us doing things, like being the person God called has us to be.
The problem of sin in us all. Evil in the world resulted from human sin and selfishness. Genesis 3 verse 17
We were all under the power of sin but The Good News is Christ Jesus {Our Lord And Our Friend} Paid The Price For Our Sins On The Cross.
All Things Become New In Christ Jesus.
You see the struggle that carries on after we accept Christ Jesus,where all things become new {our body doesn't it is only a tent in which the real you lives}, but the old you doesn't give up easily.
Romans 8 verse 12 to 14 Message Bible.
"So don't you see that we don't owe this old do-it yourself life one red cent. There's nothing in it for us, nothing at all. The best thing to do is give it a decent burial and get on with your new life. God's Spirit beckons. There are things to do and place to go."
Paul wrote in Romans about the internal struggle that we will have, that he was having in a personal Christian experience.
In Christ all Christians want to do what pleases God, but find themselves frustrated in their effort, because of the lingering pressure of sin power within.
The struggle continues in almost every Christian life, but there is progress and victory possible only through the Power of The Holy Spirit, and ultimately when Christ Jesus returns.
Once we accept Christ Jesus for what He has done on the cross, there are no Spiritless believers. we are no longer "in the flesh" but are freed from a merely human, powerless life. The Spirit grants spiritual life to believers at the point of Salvation {acceptance of Christ Jesus}.
The Holy Spirit indwells believers and provides the believers the capacity to please God and put to death the sinful behavior opposed to the Life in Christ Jesus.
We are created in the image of God. { Father, Son and Holy Spirit} a three part being, we are body, soul and spirit.
Before we accept Christ Jesus our soul, control our body and our spirit, with head knowledge, knowledge of the world. after we accept Christ Jesus our spirit controls our body and soul and the Spirit of God {The Holy Spirit} comes to live with our spirit. we have been restored to the relationship God created us for.
This is where Faith comes to the fore, we have to let go and let God, be the driving force in our lives.
God Bless
