DISMEMBER YOURSELF!!
29“If your right eye makes you stumble, tear it out and throw it from you; for it is better for you to lose one of the parts of your body, than for your whole body to be thrown into hell. 30“If your right hand makes you stumble, cut it off and throw it from you; for it is better for you to lose one of the parts of your body, than for your whole body to go into hell. - Matthew 5:29-30
This is an interesting passage if you sit and meditate on it. What Jesus was basically saying here is that in order to escape hell, you would have to dismember yourself, dismember whatever makes you sin. Thank God he sent his son Jesus to dismember our whole body from us.
Romans 6:6-7 says, "Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the BODY OF SIN might be destroyed, that henceforth(from this time forward:starting now) we should not serve sin. For he that is DEAD is freed from sin.
(emphasis and definition input by me)
Why is it that Christians still want to hold on to a sinful nature as if it has not died yet. Clearly you have not gotten the revelation that Jesus Christ took on ALL sin from MANKIND and DESTROYED it. The Bible says we are to think heavenly, meaning we are to think as if we are in heaven sitting with Jesus, I dont think Jesus is sitting there thinking about something he has already destroyed.
Am I making light of sin? Of course not, but I refuse to give it a shout out if I mess up in my walk with Christ. I simply look back at the cross and my joy is filled once again at the finished work.
So stop clinging on to the lie that you still have something that is dead and you are freed from. God Bless.
