“Whosoever is born of
God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin,
because he is born of God.”(1 John 3:9)
LIGHT FOR THE NOW: You are the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus; as Jesus is, so are you in this world.
It is wrong for a born again Christian to still see himself
as a sinner. Unfortunately, many Christians still live with this mentality.
This reveals why they are ineffective in their Christian walk. You must know
that now that you are born again, your life is new and divine. You must
therefore embrace this picture of the new you and let go sin consciousness. You
are the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus; as Jesus is, so are you in this
world. You need to have a greater consciousness of your new life in Christ.
That life gives you power to live above sin. You may still be conscious of your
sins when you have not allowed your mind to be renewed by subjecting and
yielding yourself to the dominion of the Word, to live in and by the Word.
Recall that in 1 Corinthians 6:9-11, Apostle Paul rebuked some of the
Christians in Corinth because their way of life was not consistent with their
new nature of righteousness they had received. Yet, he did not call them
‘sinners’. He writes, “know ye not that the unrighteous shall not
inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor
idolaters, nor adulterers……And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye
are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the
Spirit of our God”.
Note that Apostle Paul did not say, “And such are some of
you”, rather he says, “And such were some of you”. This is because now that you
are in Christ, you have been cleansed of all unrighteousness. You have been
washed; separated from sin unto God and declared righteous, in the Name of the
Lord, and by the Spirit of our God. You must recognize your new identity, stop
being conscious of sin, see the picture of the new you and live accordingly.
Consistently study and meditate on the Word of God for it shows your real glory
and reveals your true personality.
INSTRUCTION:Never be conscious of sin. It has
been taken care of.
PRAYER:I am the righteousness of God in
Christ Jesus.
QUOTE:whatever you are conscious of is
what you are
