I am confused...Your post #428 which I gave a 'like' to...and then now your post #430 seems to contradict what you said in #428!! Or maybe I am just too tired and brain-dead tonight and can't read in a straight line.
When Stranger said the 10 commandments did not reach him...I am sure he was saying that it
first passed through Jesus. The moral law is 'within Christ' and we are In Christ..
therefore the judgement of the law does not reach us. He and He aline did and does fulfill it.
The 10 commandment listed..change as they came through the cross ..
in Christ and become the
10 PROMISES!!
In Christ/Love Himself:-
- You shall have no other gods before Me.
- “You shall not make for yourself a carved image—any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; you shall not bow down to them nor serve them. For I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me, but showing mercy to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My commandments.
- “You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain, for the LORD will not hold him guiltless who takes His name in vain.
- “Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the LORD your God. In it you shall do no work: you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger who is within your gates. For in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day. Therefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it.
- “Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long upon the land which the LORD your God is giving you.
- “You shall not murder.
- “You shall not commit adultery.
- “You shall not steal.
- “You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.
- “You shall not covet your neighbor’s house; you shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, nor his male servant, nor his female servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbor’s.”
These things we will not do because we are 'in the Lord Jesus Christ'..
THIS is the change of nature...from ours old nature into His.
That is the walk of
faith.
We continue to keep looking at each others flesh and saying.." but they are not.. they do not..."
And...looking through the eyes of the flesh we are far from perfect...but...when we look at our brothers and sisters and see them
as God sees them..'in Christ' they are perfect. Not because their walk is perfect...but because GOD says that they are. That is our blessed hope. Ps 103;10 "He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to our iniquities."
When we get up in the morning we must choose who's life we are going to live...ours or His.
Gal 2:20 "
I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth 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."
That is
our choice..either our weak and failing life..or HIS?
We can either look and each other and see the weak and failing life of the flesh..or we can choose to "see Christ in them."
If we are going to win this...and be the Overcomers that God has called us to be...at sometime we must start imputing the integrity that God has inputed through Jesus.
Sometime..(and lets pray it be sooner rather than later)...we must all- 'live and move and have our being, in Him' ...and quit seeing everything 'in the flesh and in this world...it's time we matured and starting seeing with the anointed eyes of the Kingdom realm.
You mentioned that God is Holy and He wants us to be Holy.
When are we going to
agree with Him that according to His word..we
are...NOT in ourselves, but in Jesus Christ! ✟
