March 13, 2013 - Romans 6




Dear  Saints,

Today we prayerfully continue our Feast in Romans 6.  Saints we must die to sin and have faith that Jesus delivered us.  Living a life of sin can only lead to death because God will not tolerate sin in heaven.  God sent his son Jesus to deliver us (justified as if we never sinned) Jesus is our righteousness which sets us free from sin. “18 Therefore, as one trespass led to condemnation for all men, so one act of righteousness leads to justification and life for all men. 19 For as by the one man's disobedience the many were made sinners, so by the one man's obedience the many will be made righteous. 20 Now the law came in to increase the trespass, but where sin increased, grace abounded all the more, 21 so that, as sin reigned in death, grace also might reign through righteousness leading to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” Romans 6:18-21, English Standard Version (ESV).  Only through faith in Jesus can we be delivered from the ways of this world.  There is no fuzzy logic here.  The hour we accept Jesus and turn from our sin we are born into the new life everlasting. “And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose” Romans 8:28 ESV.  When we receive our new sinless life, we have purpose in Jesus.  His purpose is that none should perish.  Our calling is to shed our light for all men to see our freedom from sin and our relationship with Jesus.  This relationship is more meaningful than living in sin!  The upside is that all things work to the good for those who choose to invite Jesus into their heart.  For the abundance of life that faith in Jesus gives us, we give God all the glory!

3 His divine power has granted to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of him who called us to his own glory and excellence, 4 by which he has granted to us his precious and very great promises, so that through them you may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped from the corruption that is in the world because of sinful desire.” 2 Peter 1:4 ESV.
