EXHORTATION through the BOOK of LIFE
Scripture to ponder on:
“for if by the offence of the one the death did reign through the one, much more those, who the abundance of the grace and of the free gift of the righteousness are receiving, in life shall reign through the one — Jesus Christ.”
Romans 5:17 YLT98https://bible.com/bible/821/rom.5.17.
YOU REIGN IN CHRIST
One of the biggest tricks the devil uses is to constantly remind you of your past mistakes and your inability to progress in life. Imagine if he manages to keep you in a state of sadness and discouragement! If you believed this lie while you are a Christian, it means that you are completely unaware of your identity. As long as this situation exists, the devil will continue to manipulate you like this.
By Adam's disobedience, all fell and were separated from the presence of God. Man was therefore subjected to the power of Satan. This explains the decay of man's character. This deprivation leads him to live like his master satan and to suffer the consequences of his sins in his daily life. But by the death and resurrection of a single man, you received a new identity. Your identity was given to you by the death and resurrection of the author of your salvation: Jesus Christ.
Beloved you are in Christ and from Him you have received the abundance of grace and the gift of righteousness. He paid for your sins and by His Blood, He justified you before God so that you could present yourself before His throne to bring your needs and those of others without fear with the firm assurance of your acceptance.
Your daily duty is to receive the abundance of grace and the gift of righteousness from God in order to reign over the different areas of your life where you do not see the evidence of the salvation that the Lord Jesus has paid for you. This is what we call reigning in Christ!
Jesus’ beloved !
AMEN & AMEN 🙏🏾🙏🏾!!
