A REBORN RACE IN CHRIST JESUS !

A REBORN RACE ! There is so many altered versions of Christianity: that is why so many believers go from building to building looking for what fits their lifestyle. Instead, realizing that you're body is the very dwelling place of the Lord. And your life is hidden in Christ Jesus. Your lifestyle doesn't fit THE WORD OF GOD, maybe because it is a lifestyle of sin that you are trying to justify by going to these different buildings that are called church. For God hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him. ( 2 Corinthians 5: 21). Notice, that verse doesn't say that God has accounted righteousness to us. He hasn't just given us credit for a righteousness we didn't really deserve. That's an Old Covenant Concept. That's what he did for people like Abraham before Jesus came to complete the work of redemption. He counted their sin debt paid on the basis of what They did concerning the Old Testament laws. He treated them as righteous despite their fallen nature and condition. "Isn't that what God does for us? Through our obedience to the gospel of Jesus Christ" Certainly. He has canceled our sin debt As Surely As He did theirs by the Blood of Jesus. He has recorded in the Lamb's book of life that we were crucified at Calvary. It shows that we died, (Romans 6: 3 through 11) "are you ignorant of the fact that all was who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death ? We were buried therefore with Him by the baptism into death, so that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glorious power of the far, so we too might habitually live and behave in newness of life. For if we have become one with Him by sharing a death like His, we shall also be one with Him in sharing his resurrection by a new life lived for God are. We know that our old renewed self was nailed to the cross with Him in order that our body which is the instrument of sin my be made ineffective and in active for evil, that we might no longer be the slave of sin. For when a man dies, he is freed (loosed, delivered) from the power of sin among men. Now if we have died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with Him, Because we know that Christ (the Anointed One), being once raised from the dead, will never die again; death no longer has power over Him. For by the death He died, He died to sin [ending His relation to it] once for all; and the life that He lives, He is living to God [in unbroken fellowship with Him] Even so consider yourselves also dead to sin and your relation to it broken, but alive to God [living in unbroken fellowship with Him in Christ Jesus." Heaven has it recorded that we were risen from the dead in righteousness and seated on the throne of grace at God's right hand. On earth, we have it recorded that Jesus did those things. But, Heaven has it recorded in our name because He was our substitute. He did not do these things for Himself; Everything He did was for us. As New Testament believers, however, we have more than just a legal record of righteousness in heaven. We've actually been made the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus, as spotless and without sin as Jesus Himself. To do that He had to make us new creatures. He couldn't take our old sin nature and make it right anymore than we could take a beaten-up Volkswagen to the repair shop and get back a Cadillac. Such a thing would be impossible. A Cadillac has to be manufactured. It's made to be a Cadillac. The same thing is true spiritually. Truly righteous men and women must be created or manufacture that way. When they are born again, there old nature which is leading them to death, (Spiritual separated from God, is now leading them to God, by the power of the Holy Spirit and the WRITTEN WORD OF GOD, manufactured into the spiritual equivalent of a Rolls-Royce--- the car of Kings and Queens ! As I said before I'll say it again many of the dear people of God do not know who they are in Christ Jesus; that's why the devil lords over them through their minds and their flesh. you see just going to church doesn't mean that you are saved no more than go to and joining a health spa means that you are getting fit. You must read your Bible and receive what God has said about you. And by the way, faith in God doesn't come by reading; it comes by hearing and by hearing the word of God. Many people look at the natural man, but the true born-again believer walks by faith and not by sight.
