FREEDOM FROM THE POWER OF SIN!!
Romans Chapter 6; 1-13
Are you free from Earthly Sin? Are you free from
Bodily Sin??
Did you know that Jesus Christ walked in human form on this earth and was totally sin free??
Then think of what he had to go through with
Just for us and for our SINS.
Lets stand & read
You should already know that there is no chance for you to be totally sin free in this life or on this earth.. 99.9% maybe!!!
But one day if we follow after the will of our lord We can be sin free!! Then we’ll be 100% wont we?
Romans 3;23 says-
For all have sinned and come short of
the glory of God.
So what must we do to have freedom from
this power of sin??
First of all we must try not to sin BUT when we do-We must remember
1st.-That Jesus Christ is our Advocate and
2nd-Confess of our sins so we can restore our fellowship with God!!!
The bible says Pray without ceasing!!!!
Romans 6;15 says-
What Then? Shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? GOD FORBID…Or perish the thought..this expression of the unthinkable occurs more than 60 times in the apostle Paul’s writings…
In Verse’s 3 and 4 We touch on Baptism…Spiritual Baptism joins the believer to Christ
Verse 4 Paul reminds us that Baptism is the symbol of our new life in Christ.
Baptism of Course means to Immerse Also Spiritually Symbolizes DEATH-BURIAL AND RESURRECTION.
Now lets not confuse baptism with meaning or being equal to Salvation because its not!!!
Matthew 28;19 says:
Go ye therefore and teach all nations…Baptising them in the NAME OF THE FATHER AND OF THE SON AND OF THE HOLY GHOST…
Acts 2;38 says:
Then peter said unto them REPENT AND BE BAPTISED
EVERY ONE OF YOU IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST..For the remission of Sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost…
We should walk in our newness of life…
Eph 2:1 says
And you hath he quickened who were dead in trespasses and sins!!!!!!
Look at me!!!
The Lord has really cleaned me up!!!!
But the Book of Romans says
For the Wages of Sin is Death but the gift of
God is Eternal life
Gal 2;19 says:
For I through the law am dead to the law…that I might live unto God
In the reading we found that it tells us our old body or self was crucified with Jesus Christ….
Our body of sin is destroyed..and We should not be slaves of sin!!!
BUT SLAVES OF CHRIST…,
Gal 3;27 says:
For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ…
WE MAY BE THE ONLY BIBLE SOME PEOPLE READ
Col 2;12 says:
Buried with him in baptism where in also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead…
WE AS CHRISTIANS ARE BURIED WITH HIM
AND RISEN THROUGH FAITH
Gal chapter 6 tells us:
For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing nor uncircumcision but a new creation…
And as many as walk according to this rule, peace be on them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God…
From Henceforth let no man trouble me for I bear in my body…THE MARKS OF THE LORD JESUS…
Backing up to Gal Chapter 2 says:
I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live: yet not I , but Christ liveth in me and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God who loved me, and gave himself for me…
I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead IN VAIN …
You see don’t set aside the GRACE OF GOD!!!
Because God is our Freedom…
God is our Protector…
God is our everything
AND HE IS OUR WAY TO ETERNAL LIFE,…..WOW!!! Ain’t that something to get
Excited about ETERNAL LIFE!!!!!
1st Peter chapter 4 says:
For as much then as Christ hat suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind…for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin…
That he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh to the lusts of men but to the will of GOD!!!
That’s me I want to be in the Center of His perfect will tonight!!!!!
This is a perfect example of how to be good stewards
Within the Grace of God!!!
1st Peter 5;6 says :
Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time…
2nd Tim 2;11 says:
