Life Through The Spirit


We are free from the law of sin and death because of Jesus Christ. The law of the Spirit of life; which is Jesus, has set us free. God sent His Son in the likeness of a sinful man to be our sin offering. So, no longer then do we live according to the sinful nature but according to His Spirit
.
Thinking about this, I am reminded of (1 Corinthians 13:11) where the Bible says; “When I was a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me. Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now, I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.“ The Holy Spirit provides us wisdom to discern how we are to live before God.

The Spirit of God says as we live, we must love and not condemn. The Word of God shows us the way, and we acknowledge the Spirit’s wisdom by following His way. Paul, the apostle, said in (1 Corinthians 14:20) “Brothers, stop thinking like children. In regard to evil be infants, but in your thinking be adults.
We are given a choice; a choice to choose wisdom or ignorance, and life and death because of the sacrifice of our Lord on the cross. Therefore, these days, let us remember His sacrifice, and carefully consider all Jesus did for us. No longer are we condemned by the law, rather, we are saved by His Spirit."

All praise and glory are Yours, O God!

Over the past few years I have been inspired by the Holy Spirit to write what He has given me; many times I was awakened in the middle of the night to write them down. I hope you will take look at these brief messages which can be found in the "sidebar" of this blog under the heading of "BLOG ARCHIVE." There may be something in these that personally speaks to you. I pray there is. Thanks for reading my blog and may God richly bless you.

APPROVED

“Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a workman who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth” (2 Timothy 2:15). (2 Timothy 2:14-26) instructs those whom He knows are His ; and don’t we aspire to be recognized as such, to be approved by God? He tells us to avoid godless chatter (gossip), because we will become more and more ungodly. God warns that what we say can affect others, even destroying the faith of some. Heaven forbid we should say anything to do such damage!   Approved we flee the evil desires of youth we pursue righteousness, faith, love and peace. We don’t have anything to do with foolish and stupid arguments because we know they only produce quarrels. As God’s servants we mustn’t quarrel; instead we must be kind, able to teach, and be not resentful.   Approved we are to gently instruct those who oppose us, hoping God will grant them repentance and lead them to the knowledge of His truth.

God’s Family

He provides resources for the family “For You, Lord, are good, and ready to forgive, and abundant in mercy to all those whom call upon You” (Psalm 86:5). God’s plan for marriage and the family, in the Bible, is intended to be ideal, full of prosperity for every member. Would you say this describes your family? Maybe, maybe not, however, even if your family has missed His mark His Word deals with life realistically. Many of us experience some aspect of failure or serious disappointment with the way our family is living. Many families today are divided by divorce or living as single-parent family units. God alone can provide the needed resources and the loving care vital for the needs of these families who are dealing with life. If you are having trouble in your family turn to Jesus. He is your primary resource for forgiveness and your hope for renewal (Ephesians 1:7).   He forgives no matter if the failure is yours or it is one of those times when someone else fails yo...
