The end to sin consciousness



“There is therefore now no condemnation to them that are in Christ Jesus.”Romans 8:1

The urge that makes one man a drunkard , another a philosopher....the restlessness that fills the dance halls and the casinos , the roadhouse and all other places of pleasure is the heart's search for reality , that universal quest of ages, the spirit's search for the Holy Grail. 

No one finds it until they get in contact with the Man, Jesus Christ, and crown Him as Lord of their life. That moment , the search is over. It is a fact that a young man or lady who finds this thing never sows wild oats , has no great urge for dangerous pleasures of the world. They have found the answer. 

“Him who knew no sin he made to be sin on our behalf; that we might become the righteousness of God in him.” 2 Corinthians 5:21

Have you ever heard a preacher talking about sin and you think in your heart ,"that's me". They talk about those who are struggling and broke and you think ,"that's me".That moment you feel so small and unworthy. "Condemnation makes cowards of all men", the words of William Shakespeare.

However , when the gospel is rightly communicated , it is a message that sets people free from this bondage into the righteousness of God. For a long time many have identified themselves more with sin than they did with righteousness. Jesus became sin so that we can be the righteousness of God. We are no longer sinners but the righteous. Christ has set us free glory to God. 

Identify yourself with God and what His word says you are. The word is the mirror of your spirit. Identify yourself with health, see you as the victor , when they talk about wealth ; they are talking about you , when they mention about peace , love and joy ; that's you!! Grace is the end to sin consciousness. You are GRACE MADE. 

If you're a preacher , don't talk about sin more than you do righteousness. Don't talk about judgement more than mercy. Stop talking about law and speak GRACE. Don't talk man's faults and inability , speak God's righteousness and unstoppable power. That's the gospel. 

I heard Christine Cain quoting this scripture years ago and it stayed with me : 

“For freedom did Christ set us free: stand fast therefore, and be not entangled again in a yoke of bondage.” Galatians 5:1

Prayer : Father thank you that it is not by might by by your Spirit. I give you praise because you show me who I am in you. I declare with my mouth all that you say about me ; I am the righteousness of God , I am fearfully and wonderfully made , I am the apple of your eye , I am rich , I am a new creation in Christ Jesus. Christ lives in me. Amen😊
