TODAY'S UPDATE: JESUS THE PERFECT THEOLOGY SERIES 2.
"BE CHRIST CONSCIOUS"
Ephesians 1:7
In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace
Let's build some foundation👇
The Gospel which is the revelation of Jesus does not Condemn,never in the scriptures in the new testament nor epistles was anyone ever condemn,God's character right for the beginning was goodness,Jesus in the four gospels showed goodness to all men,the scripture say in him grace and truth has come,that means God is full of grace and truth.
John 3:17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
John 1:17 For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.
Jesus came not to condemn anyone and therefore the sins of the past,present and future has been forgiveness, this is too good to be true but this is the gospel, whether you agreed with me or not the scripture has proven it.
Let see what the scripture says about it.
Hebrews 9:15 And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance.
Jesus has paid the price for sin right from the old testament till the new,no point to selah.
Hebrews 10:12 But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God;
Note the word FOREVER
This is to tell you that the sin problem has been dealt with forever,a believer does not have neither a faith problem nor a sin problem, his only problem is a mind problem and a speech problem.
Have you ever woken up in the morning and said, “Today, I will not sin.” And as you leave your house, you say, “I must be careful not to fall into sin today. I don’t want to sin. I will not sin!” My friend, when you do this, you are no longer Christ-conscious but sin-conscious, even though you have not sinned yet.
Men, have you ever caught yourself thinking, “I don’t want to look at any woman in case I lust”? You are being sin-conscious when you think like that. And sooner or later, you will lust in your heart. You may not sin outwardly, but you will sin inwardly.
Let's go deeper into this thing👇
Have you also tried confessing every sin? when a bad thought came, you would quickly say, “I’m sorry, Lord. Forgive me for this thought in Jesus’ name.” Then, another thought would come and you would quickly say, “Forgive me, Lord, for that thought in Jesus’ name.” Then, if you happen to doubt His forgiveness, you would confess your unbelief and ask for forgiveness: “Forgive me, Lord, for doubting You.” this is an oppression of the mind my friend you are sin-conscious and not Christ-conscious!
My friend, when you fall into sin, God wants you to be Christ-conscious. This means that when you have missed it, God wants you to be conscious that in Christ, you have forgiveness of sins through His blood. God wants you to be conscious that Christ was wounded and bruised for your sins, and that the chastisement for your peace was upon Him. (Isaiah 53:5)
When you are Christ-conscious, you will have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. (Romans 5:1) You will know that you are the righteousness of God in Christ because He who knew no sin was made sin for you. (2 Corinthians 5:21) He took your sin and now you have His righteousness.
Romans 1:17 For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.
Faith to Faith here means from the old to the new testament, in the old testament their faith was based on promises but we in the new testament our faith is in the fulfilment of the promises in Christ, we came into faith, we have a measure of faith and so a believer does not need faith "quote me",you don't need faith why because you are in faith.
The scripture says
Romans 10:17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
Faith is in the Gospel and you having believed in the Gospel you are in faith, Christ himself is faith, and so you are in Faith. So all you do is to accept what Christ has done for you ie the fulfilment of the promises. You are righteous (period) there's nothing the devil can do about it.
So when you fall, don’t be conscious of your failure and feel bad or condemned. Instead, be conscious of who you are in Christ, pick yourself up, dust yourself off and continue your walk with God.
Some might ask are you giving us license to sin,its very simple, you are a saint and living in sin is no more part of your DNA ,and until you learn how to stop living by your self effort,self will,self,everything self,you will keep sinning but when you look @ Christ you will delivered forget who you were and see yourself in him.
The scripture says in 1 John 2:1 My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:
Now until you stop seeing yourself,preaching sin and its works,you'll keep sinning,the more you look @ sin the more you sin,the more you look @ Christ the more you enjoy his grace.
When you are Christ conscious you have peace with God.
Stop trying to help God,you didn't save yourself,God doesn't need your help,no matter how you are,don't try to help yourself,because you'll keep sinning, look to Jesus only and you'll have peace with God and his grace will be evident in your life,its as simple as that.
Hebrews 12:2 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.
LET GO OF SIN CONSCIOUSNESS AND LOOK AT CHRIST!
Finally👇
Philippians 2:5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:
Be Blessed.
