“Forasmuch as ye know
that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from
your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; But with the
precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot ”
1Peter 1:18-19.
LIGHT FOR THE NOW: The knowledge you have about who you
are in Christ brings freedom.
The Bible
speaking in John 8:32 say, “And ye shall
know the truth, and the truth shall make you free”. It is the truth that
you know that makes you free. Spiritual freedom brings about physical
manifestations in all your endeavors. You need to know that Christ had fully
paid the price for you. He had authoritatively announced your freedom when he
declared on the cross that it is finished. Christ gave us victory free of
charge. We could never have been able to buy ourselves back. “But God commendeth his love towards us, in
that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us” (Romans 5:8). Romans
8:15 says, “For ye have not received the
spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the spirit of adoption,
whereby we cry, Abba, Father”. It is the redemption that brings the
totality of your freedom. Through freedom, you have the power to overcome sin.
You need to know this, accept this and live in this knowledge. Galatians 5:1
says, “Stand fast therefore in the
liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the
yoke of bondage”. You need to constantly develop yourself through the study
of the Word of God. Let it dwell in you richly and believe in what you have
learned (Colossians 3:16).
Your life on
earth is a function of your faith. Faith is the spiritual center of gravity.
The absence of faith in your life is the arrival of every ugly circumstance in
your life. A new creation cannot be justified outside faith because his entire
life functions in faith. Faith is the spiritual energy that controls all the
activities of God here on earth. It is the engine room that drags the desires
of God into your life. Faith is the spiritual power God uses to prove Himself
in the midst of His people. With faith, you can design your world and interpret
your mental picture into reality. Let the knowledge of Christ be the basis of
your faith.
INSTRUCTION: Make effort to know more about Christ.
PRAYER:
Lord, grant me a deeper knowledge of Christ, in Jesus name!
QUOTE: Christ based knowledge frees you
from law based knowledge.
