I am wrong, I am the sinner, this is the starting point. An acknowledgement and seeing of the truth and fact, that all we do, say, think. All that comes from us, anything and everything that comes from the life we received from Adam is wrong and needs to die and be done away with. This is the starting point. A total and complete giving up, or turning from the life of this world, by the faith of the heart to God, with the whole life, will, being, and all that is us. For until this willingness is seen and reached, we are continually trying to fix the old with various methods and devices, rules of taste not touch not, do it this way, no do it that way.
This repenting or turning from self to God is the very starting point of all the growth of the new creation. For it does away with all of the contrivances of man to be better or establish a righteousness that he thinks might be pleasing to God. Not yet knowing or seeing that only the righteousness that comes through faith in Christ Jesus is the righteousness that is pleasing to God for it alone is that righteousness that is forever free from all sin.
For it is the life of this world that is our separation from God, therefore all of this life must be given up. Until this starting point is reached, all will be putting on a religious coat on a corrupt body, and will only cover the body of sin, but will not cause it to be done away with. For until the plant is pulled up by the roots the plant, in time will grow back and produce what is natural to it, which is the only thing the natural life of this world can produce, which is sin. For our fall into the life of this world was our separation from God, therefore a death to this life and a getting of another is the one and only salvation that is warranted and needed for all of mankind. But praise be to God and the gift of a new life and nature given in His Son. This is exactly what our salvation in Christ consists of, for, this and this alone in it’s entirety was necessary for the destroying the works of the devil that mankind might have a new birth from their second Adam. A new birth and start of a life that was as free from sin as the old creation was free from righteousness.
This is the salvation that is available to all that call on His name, a total and complete death to the old that a new birth and nature might grow in it’s place. Which, new life is pleasing to God in all it does.
“When Jesus died we died.”
When Jesus was raised from the dead, we were raised with Him that we might walk in newness of life, in all we do, say, think, dream, hope, desire. In all of life.
For it is righteousness we are called to and only that which produces righteousness in a life is the salvation that we have in Christ.
Blessing to all that would be willing to search and see into this mystery of Christ in us our Hope of Glory, which is Christ our life.
For God is God, and God is good and getting to know God personally is the issue of life, for nothing less will satisfy the heart of man, for nothing else will produce righteousness in man.
Blessings,
Much love in Christ, Not me
