READ YOUR RHAPSODY OF REALITIES DAILY DEVOTIONAL. NO CONDEMNATION…NO DEATH – PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME WEDNESDAY 21ST SEPTEMBER, 2016.
There is therefore now no
condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh,
but after the Spirit (Romans 8:1).
Nobody will go to hell
today or be condemned because of sin, for Jesus was already condemned for our
sins; He paid the full penalty for sin. Therefore, the primary reason people
will go to hell is unbelief; it’s for not believing and accepting God’s
testimony of His Son. It’s for rejecting God’s love which He demonstrated in
the sacrifice of His Son, for the propitiation of our sins.
The Bible says, “For God so
loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth
in him should not perish, but have everlasting life” (John 3:16). To reject His
love is to embrace eternal condemnation. When you love the Lord with all your
heart, you’re free from any form of condemnation. And that love has been shed
abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost (Romans 5:5), such that not only are we
able to love the Lord, we also walk in, and manifest His love to others.
Furthermore, the one who
walks in love has passed from death unto life: “We know that we have passed
from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not his
brother abideth in death” (1 John 3:14). Romans 8:2 says, “For the law of the
Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and
death.” Eternal life was activated in your spirit when you were born again.
Death isn’t at work in you; life is, because you’re a child of God.
The law of the Spirit of
life has made you free from the law of sin and death. So, you’re death-free!
When God says He’s made you death-free, it means you’re off death’s limits!
Whatever kind of death it may be, whether death in business, finances, health,
etc.; you’re off their limits, because life is at work in you. Blessed be God!
CONFESSION
I’m crucified with Christ;
nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I
now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and
gave Himself for me! Christ is my life, and I dwell in Him in the realm of His
divine love. Therefore, I’m free from sin, death, and the Law! I’m a partaker
of His divine nature!
Further Study: || Romans
6:8-11 Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with
him: 9 Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath
no more dominion over him. 10 For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but
in that he liveth, he liveth unto God. 11 Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to
be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord. ||
|| 1 Corinthians 15:55-57 O
death, where [is] thy sting? O grave, where [is] thy victory? 56 The sting of
death [is] sin; and the strength of sin [is] the law. 57 But thanks [be] to
God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. ||
