Revelations 1:5 And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood
Because we don’t truly believe that we have been forgiven (past tense), it affects our expressions and songs. You will hear a believer singing, “We are sinners saved by Grace.” How can you be a sinner saved by Grace? You are either a SINNER, or a saved SAINT. You can’t be both. Our TENSES are all messed up because of our wrong beliefs. Yes, you WERE a sinner before you met Jesus, but after that encounter, He made you a SAINT.
When you believed, Jesus washed you – not with omo and water, but with His Own Blood. Not only did he wash your sins away, but he also replaced the sin nature in you with the nature or life of God. You are now the Righteousness of God. YOU ARE NO LONGER A SINNER, SO STOP TALKING THAT WAY.
We find in 1 Corinthians 6:11, that we USED TO BE sinners with all kinds of vices, but now
WE ARE WASHED, BUT NOW WE ARE SANCTIFIED, BUT NOW WE ARE JUSTIFIED in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God. That should be your song and your speech. Praise God Forevermore!
Many people cannot leave the realm of sin because of their corrupted mindset on it. Many believers are still so sin conscious; BUT GOD WANTS YOU TO LIVE ABOVE SIN, THAT’S WHY JESUS CAME. Hallelujah! Praise God!
GRACEFUL MORNING
