When I was little,
I use be a girl who loves to please people,
Even when I seek peace at the feet of friends or enemies,
I still crumble, tremble, fumble,
At the feet of Friends of enemies.
But...
Have you ever questioned why you fail even when it's not your intention,
Have you ever imagined why a task is given to you beyond your power,
Have you ever questioned why a standard is laid even when the best of us frail.......
Listen,
I'm not here to talk about physical because what fell Adam was spiritual.
In the beginning man fell,. Adam fell and introduced sin into the world...
Sin had dominion over man,
You know how I know?
The laws.
There are about 600plus laws and if you fail in one, you fail in all.
You fail one,
You go to hell,
You fail two?
Oh hell!
And from generation to generation man could not inhibit sin instead it became a nature.
God saw the human race and knew we could never Make it because we were clothe with an identity of a state "sinner"
So God came.
He came according to scriptures,
He came according to Moses,
He came according to Abraham,
He came according to Isaiah,
He came according to scriptures.
So God came.
Birthed by virgin mary
Breastfed, cried like a baby,
Grew and learned like a baby.
Christ God became Man.
Dwelled with sinners,
Dinner with sinners,
Healed sinners,
Raised sinners from the dead,
He even forgave their sins without their permission..... He said, Go! Your sins are forgiven.
Jesus went about doing good until he was delivered into the hands of men.
He was beaten,
Bruised,
Spat upon,
Wounded for our transgressions,
Behind recognition,
For our commissions,
Even for the gross,
Christ was nailed on the cross.
The curtain was turn!
Christ died.
Christ died for 3 days
Reconciling men back to God by each day,
And on the third day
He validated the scriptures fulfilling the prophecies of the scriptures by his resurrection!
And everything changed!
Because there was an exchange.
He took our sins and gave us his righteousness,
He took our illness and have us his body,
He took our state and gave us state,
He was made sin and made us righteous,
Because for God so love the world that he gave his only begotten son,
That whosoever believes in him,
Shall not perish, but have everlasting life.
Even while we were yet sinners Christ died for us.
We were dead,
But in him we're alive,
We were unholy
But in him we're holy, righteous, sanctified and justified,
We were powerless but in him he has given us the power to become the sOns of God,
Our works were dead, like filthy rags,
But in him we're made unto good works,
We were faithless,
But in him God is pleased.
This is our identity.
This is who we are!
All that he did was for us,
We are all that he came for,
We are all that he wrote about.
For If the death of bulls and calves could take away sin for a whole year,
How long the death of Christ.
We are made Holy,
Sanctified,
Justified in him.
You know why a moralist will go to hell?
Because he pride in his self righteousness and neglect the righteousness of God.
The cut of mark to make heaven is Christ,
The cut of mark to be redeemed is Christ.
Because there are diverse things, don't do this, do that, don't eat this, eat that,
And thats why Christ came is he can be the narrow way!
He is the narrow way,
He is the way, truth, and life
No one comes to the father except through him.
In this God is pleased in this identity.
By the knowledge of this reality,
We are free from sin,
By the knowledge of this reality,
We are free from the bondage of death, because the wages of sin is death, Christ died.
By the knowledge of this reality we can go preach the gospel and heal the sick without being condemned,
By the knowledge of this reality,
We can flow in diverse things of the spirit,
By the knowledge of this reality,
We have authority over scorpions and serpents,
By the knowledge of this reality,
We are empowered to live for him.
