Scripture Reading: Romans 6:1-6 "To be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. Because THE CARNAL MIN D IS ENMITY AGAINST GOD: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. SO THE N THEY THAT ARE I N T H E FLESH CANNOT PLEASE GOD" (Romans 8:6-8). So many warnings throughout God's Word; so few who properly heed them! Thebelieverhasbeensufficiently enabledto resist the temptations of the worldly elements. His problem is that he neglects to maintain his focus upon the Person of Jesus Christ, thus lowering himself to the plane of the carnal creature of whom the psalmist says, "[He] will not seek after God: God is not in all his thoughts" (Psalms 10:4). Rather, the believer should follow the example expressed by David: "Search me, 0 God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts" (Psalms 139:23). "Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with Him , that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin" (Romans 6:6). "Know ye not that the friendship of the world is ENMITY WIT H GOD? Whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God" (James 4:4). These are strong words, but they deal with a strong issue! The great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ performed a redemptive work the magnitude of which is inconceivable to our meager capacity of understanding. But the significance is made perfectly plain to us through holy writ. "[Christ] His own self bare our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness...being made a curse for us" (I Peter 2:24, Galatians 3:13).

Complete in him

Complete in him By: Dov Avnon Do you know what does it mean to be complete in Christ? 6 As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him: First off all is to receive Christ - to accept the gift of eternal life through the blood of Christ but this is just the beginning. If you are save now you new life just starting. God saved you so you will also walk in Him and not serve the sin. 7 Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving. Look around you and see how many even do not know what is our gospel of salvation. It is not about Christ your friend or give your heart and life to Christ. It is about SIN – HE DIED FOR YOU SINS. http://www.gracegospel.eu/complete-in-him.htm Complete in him www.gracegospel.eu 3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again t...
