TRAPPED IN A SIN, WE NEED THE POWER OF THE NEW CREATION:INEXTRICABLY TIED TO PROPER USE OF LAW.

IN THIS MESSAGE WE CONTINUE OUR DISCUSSION OF BEING TRAPPED IN A SIN, AND THUS MISERY, AND WE ASK AGAIN A COMMON SENSE QUESTION. WHY CAN’T THOSE OF US WHO ARE TRAPPED IN A SIN, DON’T JUST PACK UP OUR BAGS AND LEAVE THAT SIN? WOULD IT NOT BE BECAUSE WE WORSHIP THAT SIN SO MUCH, AND THUS HAVING NOT HIT BOTTOM YET, WE HAVE NO DESIRE TO PACK UP OUR BAGS AND LEAVE THAT SIN. BUT WHAT IF WE HAVE HIT BOTTOM AND WE LACK THE POWER TO LEAVE THAT SIN, THEN WHAT? MAYBE WE WERE BORN INTO THIS WORLD WITH A WEAK CONSTITUTION TO BEGIN WITH AND NOW JUST CANNOT QUIT COLD TURKEY, WHAT SHOULD WE DO? WELL, WE CAN BEGIN BY BEGINNING TO BE CONCERNED ABOUT THE CONDITION OF OUR SOUL, FOR IF WE ARE NOT CONCERNED ABOUT THE IMMORTALITY OF OWN SOUL WE DEFINITELY WILL NOT BE CONCERNED ABOUT THE IMMORTALITY OF OUR CHILDREN’S SOUL. BUT MAYBE WE THINK THAT OUR SIN IS SO GREAT THAT EVEN THE THOUGHT OF OUR SOUL AND HEAVEN LEAVES US EVEN MORE HOPELESS. IF SO, LET US REMEMBER THAT GOD HAS A BIG TENT FOR HE SEES WITH X-RAY VISION RIGHT THROUGH OUR MORALITY OR IMMORALITY AND SEES THAT WE ALL HAVE THE SAME EVIL HEART: THE MORALISTS AMONG US MAY HAVE THE ABILITY TO BETTER COVER OVER THE EVIL PROCLIVITIES OF OUR HEART WITH THE FIG LEAVES OF MORALITY BUT GOD IS NOT JUDGING US ON OUR MORALITY BUT IS CONDEMNING ALL OF US EQUALLY ON THE EVIL PROCLIVITIES OF OUR HEART. AND HOW IS IT THAT WE BEGIN TO SEE THESE EVIL PROCLIVITIES OF OUR HEART BUT THROUGH THE PROPER FUNCTION OF THE LAW IN OUR LIVES BEFORE AND AFTER WE BECOME A NEW CREATION. IN THIS MESSAGE WE WILL BEGIN TO MAKE A DENT IN THE PROPER FUNCTION OF THE LAW, IN GOD MAKING US A NEW CREATION, WHERE ALL THE POWER EXISTS AND BOTH THE MORALISTS AND DEGENERATE SINNERS AMONG US AMERICANS ARE WELCOME TO COME. JESUS COMMANDS US: [28] Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. [29] Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. [30] For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. Matt. 11:28-30
