DON'T RUN AWAY FROM SIN, BUT GET TO KNOW HOW TO OVERCOME IT. EPISODE 3

WHAT DO I NEED TO BE FREE FROM SIN.

Greetings to you all in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Am so glad once again that am given another opportunity to share with you more about God and His wonderful message for us.

Here is a strong question which is both for believers and non believers. We have always struggled with this and that's why you find sessions that are created in church like repentance or repenting moment for our sin. This is all because of the struggle that's happening in our mind. We don't know what to do and because of our zeal for righteousness, we created formations in which we could feel it's fine now.



Romans 10:1-3 Dear brothers and sisters, the longing of my heart and my prayer to God is for the people of Israel to be saved. I know what enthusiasm they have for God, but it is misdirected zeal. For they don't understand God's way of making people right with himself. Refusing to accept God's way, they cling to their own way of getting right with God by trying to keep the law.

So, it isn't just for now but it has been there even in times of Apostle Paul, it's the reason why he is also able to write about it. And God says, " My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.- Hos 4:6" Lack of knowledge is like living as dead. That's why I am here to let you know that sin isn't your problem, but the kind of life you choose to live. I love certain guys in the bible who were really confused with Christ's message on that day, as they were wondering, they ask Him, tell us, what should we do for the works that God requires us to do? - John 6:27-29.

This was Jesus' answer to them, John 6:29, Jesus told them, "This is the only work God wants from you: Believe in the one he has sent." These people wants to perform the works of God, but Jesus has only one work for them that God requires every man and woman; To believe in the one he has sent.
See it this way, an easy way to understand sin, The world's sin is that it refuses to believe in me.-John 16:9. Do you remember the two trees in the garden, one was of life and another of sin, so Christ is the tree of life and whoever eats on Him is free from sin and death. Christ is the kind of life system built and established by God that is an opposite of sin kind of life. So whenever you decide to feel your life with Christ, you become like him, and whenever you decide to feel your life with the world's knowledge of good and evil, you become sin.

There is a story of a woman caught in adultery, when brought to Jesus, Jesus ask them any of them without sin to be first to hit her with stone. None was able not because no one was keeping the law, but because of the nature of life they all lived in, no one was able to cast a stone unto her because of their sinful nature. In fact Jesus was the only qualified person to stone her but he didn't because he did not come to judge the world but to save it from sin.



Are you afraid of what comes next? You shouldn't, in fact you should rejoice because Christ is the complete fulfillment of the law and whoever has Him, has got salvation. For Christ [is] the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes. (Romans 10:4)

Further readings.
John 5:24 "Most assuredly, I say to you, he who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me has everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment, but has passed from death into life.

Romans 3:21-22 But now the righteousness of God apart from the law is revealed, being witnessed by the Law and the Prophets, even the righteousness of God, through faith in Jesus Christ, to all and on all who believe. For there is no difference;

So as Abraham's faith was accounted to him to be righteous, so our faith to God through Jesus Christ our savior, counts us too, or is credited to us as righteousness to God. Stop struggling with sin, sin is a system which keeps all who loves and set there mind on the things of the flesh, that's why in all things if you want to overcome sin, you must hate the knowledge of good and evil of this world, and love, set your mind on things of God.

1 John 5:4-5 For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith. Who is he who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?
Hallelujah.

Faith in Jesus is the way to overcome the world, from him, there's no other.

My friends, how can you have faith in Christ? Through the very word of God that you have heard right now.

As you have made up your mind to accept and believe Jesus Christ to be in your life, am sure, the heaven is celebrating you the 100th sheep that was lost and now found. You are declared 100% righteous before God through Christ who became our sin for us to be made right before the father.
You were lost but now are found.

Romans 8:1-2 T[here] [is] therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death.

 Glory be to God our Father, Jesus Christ our savior and to the Holy Spirit our helper in Christ we say, Amen.

Thank you so much for following my blogs, and I tell promise you good things are yet to come. Keep on waiting as we cover another great topic here next week. You're so blessed that even satan can't come closer to your blessings.
