MADE FREE FROM SIN
Brother James, OIC
Rom 6:18 Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness.
The sin debt is Paid In Full by the Blood of Jesus. And not ours only but the sin of the world. Its PAID, PAID, PAID! So what is the difference between the Believer and Non-Believer if the sin debt is Paid for all? It is not the sin as found revealed by commandments whose law contained in ordinances were nailed to the Cross, but it is the difference between True Faith and Faithlessness that’s in the world and the worldly Church. A faithlessness that is iniquity that crucifies the Son of God afresh and tramples the Blood of the New Covenant underfoot
Rom 14:22-23 Hast thou faith? have it to thyself before God. Happy is he that condemneth not himself in that thing which he alloweth. And he that doubteth is damned if he eat, because he eateth not of faith: for whatsoever is not of faith is sin.
Deeper revelation tells us that the above scripture isn’t talking about physical food but spiritual. Spiritual Truth that will bring your spiritual eyes into focus on what is Truth and the Lies of the World.
Heb 5:12-14 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.
You see, a Non Believer, whether they call themselves a Believer or not does not trust Gods Promises nor the reality of the Cross that Faith substances in ones life. A True Believer TRUSTS GODS WORD WITHOUT LEAVENING IT WITH THE WORLD!
Sin as popularly judged by the hypocrites in lives of those they have no business judging IS a faithless act in itself and therefore the greater sin from what they are judging. This judgment is not of God.
To be made free from sin and become servants of righteousness is a whole different ball game than servants of SELF RIGHTEOUSNESS that most blinded religionists walk in.
Righteousness, right standing with God, right wise-ness are all rooted and grounded in non dissimulated Truth.
My flesh, your flesh, all flesh of humans contain sin. But TRUE BELIEVERS have this ONE ingredient that shows the value of their Faith having had walked in the Light of Truth:
1Jn 3:6-10 Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him. 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 (Christ Gods Anointing) 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 can only serve righteousness by walking in the trust and faith in the Blood of Christ. If I sin there is a transgreesion of the law because of the Liberty vs. Bondage or in other words the Spirit vs. Flesh. But I am not the flesh but a new Creation:
2Co 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
Rom 8:5 -9 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.
