Our sin debt has been settled

newnature · #1 02-10-2013, 03:46 PM

The great secret that was revealed to Paul is a gift of grace, a free gift. In God’s sight our sin debt has been settled, we stand in righteousness before him right now. He sees us seated with Christ in heaven, we are right now the praise of the glory of his grace throughout eternity. It follows logically that this secret must not be read into the four Gospels or into the book of Revelation.

Paul’s insistence upon the reality of our union with Christ, as having died and risen again in him. The Apostle unfolds to us, we died with Christ, our standing being complete and perfect in Christ, we cannot grow in this standing. We may grow in the knowledge, experience, and enjoyment of it, our life is the outcome of our belief.

If we are ignorant of this free gift, we are easy prey for every minister of righteousness who may rise up. Nothing more is needed to be added, their is not a ordinance on the face of the earth that can make us complete. We don’t need to pass a satisfactory examination, or take another class, we stand in righteousness before God right now.

Thanks for any insight.

Could not have said it better. So many still allow themselves to be in chains.

Romans 8;4 says that the righteous requirements of the Law have been met in us through Christ. just think of it!! In the mind of God, I NEVER once broke his Law, but I have met all of the Law's requirements because the righteousness of the sinless One has been imputed to me!! Praise God!!

We tend to vision God holding a ball bat ready to pounce!!! I still have to remind myself daily I'm free.

Now let's walk in it!! Embrace the free gift and live free. Some think this means I can just sin all I want to, why try to live right???

If that is the case, the I have not "recieved the free gift".

However, since embracing the free gift, I have be set free from all kinds of condemnation, therefore I have been empower against sin, a right living has become a natural outflowing of having been set free!! PTL!!!
