LIFE THROUGH THE SPIRIT

MERRY CHRIST- MAS TO EVERY ONE! 2015

FOR THIS IS THE DAY THAT CHRIST WAS BORN TO SAVE ME FROM MYSELF." WHAT A WRETCHED MAN I AM! WHO WILL
RESCUE ME FROM THIS BODY OF DEATH? THANKS BE TO GOD - THROUGH JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD!" (Rom.7:24-25)

SO CHRIST IS GOD'S PLAN FOR MY SALVATION AND GOD WORKS THE PLAN THROUGH THE SPIRIT OF CHRIST, FOUND IN THE WORD OF CHRIST.

"THEREFORE, THERE IS NOW NO CONDEMNATION FOR THOSE WHO ARE IN CHRIST JESUS, BECAUSE THROUGH CHRIST JESUS THE LAW OF THE SPIRIT OF LIFE SET ME FREE FROM THE LAW OF SIN AND DEATH. FOR WHAT THE LAW WAS POWERLESS TO DO IN THAT IT WAS WEAKENED BY THE SINFUL NATURE, GOD DID BY SENDING HIS OWN SON IN THE LIKENESS OF SINFUL MAN TO BE A SIN OFFERING. AND SO GOD CONDEMNED SIN IN SINFUL MAN, IN ORDER THAT THE RIGHTEOUS REQUIREMENT OF THE LAW MIGHT BE FULLY MET IN US, WHO DO NOT LIVE ACCORDING TO THE SINFUL NATURE BUT ACCORDING TO THE SPIRIT.
THOSE WHO LIVE ACCORDING TO THE SINFUL NATURE HAVE THERE MINDS SET ON WHAT THAT NATURE DESIRES; BUT THOSE WHO LIVE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE SPIRIT HAVE THERE MINDS SET ON WHAT THE SPIRIT DESIRES. THE MIND OF SINFUL MAN IS DEATH, BUT THE MIND CONTROLLED BY THE SPIRIT IS LIFE AND PEACE; THE SINFUL MIND IS HOSTILE TO GOD. IT DOES NOT SUBMIT TO GOD'S LAW, NOR CAN IT DO SO. THOSE CONTROLLED BY THE SINFUL NATURE CANNOT PLEASE GOD.
YOU, HOWEVER, ARE CONTROLLED NOT BY THE SINFUL NATURE BUT BY THE SPIRIT, IF THE SPIRIT OF GOD LIVES IN YOU. AND IF ANYONE DOES NOT HAVE THE SPIRIT OF CHRIST, HE DOES NOT BELONG TO CHRIST. BUT IF CHRIST IS IN YOU, YOUR BODY IS DEAD BECAUSE OF SIN, YET YOUR SPIRIT IS ALIVE BECAUSE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS.

AND IF THE SPIRIT OF GOD WHO RAISED JESUS FROM THE DEAD IS LIVING IN YOU, GOD WHO RAISED CHRIST FROM THE DEAD WILL ALSO GIVE LIFE TO YOUR MORTAL BODIES THROUGH GOD'S SPIRIT, WHO LIVES IN YOU.
THEREFORE, BROTHERS, WE HAVE AN OBLIGATION - BUT IT IS NOT TO THE SINFUL NATURE, TO LIVE ACCORDING TO IT. FOR IF YOU LIVE ACCORDING TO THE SINFUL NATURE, YOU WILL DIE; BUT IF BY THE SPIRIT YOU PUT TO DEATH THE MISDEEDS OF THE BODY, YOU WILL LIVE, BECAUSE THOSE WHO ARE LED BY THE SPIRIT OF GOD ARE SONS OF GOD. FOR YOU DID NOT RECIEVE A SPIRIT THAT MAKES YOU A SLAVE AGAIN TO FEAR, BUT YOU RECIEVED THE SPIRIT OF SONSHIP. AND BY THE SPIRIT WE CRY, ABBA, FATHER. THE SPIRIT HIMSELF TESTIFIES WITH OUR SPIRIT THAT WE ARE GOD'S CHILDREN. NOW IF WE ARE CHILDREN, THEN WE ARE HEIRS - HEIRS OF GOD AND CO - HEIRS WITH CHRIST, IF INDEED WE SHARE IN CHRIST SUFFERINGS IN ORDER THAT WE MAY SHARE IN CHRIST'S GLORY".(Rom.8:1-17)

"AND YOU ALSO WERE INCLUDED IN CHRIST WHEN YOU HEARD THE WORD OF TRUTH, THE GOSPEL OF YOUR SALVATION. HAVING BELIEVED, YOU WERE MARKED IN CHRIST WITH A SEAL, THE PROMISED HOLY SPIRIT, WHO IS A DEPOSIT GUARANTEEING OUR INHERITANCE UNTIL THE REDEMPTION OF THOSE WHO ARE GOD'S POSSESSION - TO THE PRAISE OF GOD'S GLORY".(Eph.1:13-14)

I AM GOD'S POSSESSION AND I AM REDEEMED IN CHRIST, THIS IS GOD'S PLAN FOR MY SALVATION. THIS IS WHAT I TRUELY BELIEVE. MERRY CHRIST- MAS TO EVERY ONE!
AMEN.
