Hello my dear blog readers. I hope you have been blessed with the previous three lessons discussed on this interesting topic. Last week blog was a message of hope to humanity. Yeshua who is also a spirit like his father, Yahua came to this world in flesh to defeat Satan and Sin. Please, read my last week blog for details.
By this time, these dots are connecting. I hope to discuss the statement I ranked as #3 from Romans chapter 8:1-4 this week.
"Not according to
flesh are they walking, but according to spirit, for the spirit's law
of life in Christ Jesus frees you from the law of sin and death".
This is ranked as #3
Walking in spirit entails one of the fruits of the spirit. According to Galatians 5:22-23, faithfulness/faith is one of the vital spiritual fruits that makes the true believers walk in the spirit. This does not means that they are perfect. It means they do not regard sin as if it exists. They understand that the spirit's law of life in Christ Yeshua does not repose on Ten Commandments. Therefore, they are not controlled by laws that expose sin. They are controlled by the spirit of Yahweh (John 3:8).
These true believers are not afraid of trying not to commit sin. They are not willingly committing sin either. They realize that nothing happens without the plan of Yahweh for their lives. These people understand that only Elohim Yahweh (God of Heavens and Earth) is perfect. They understand that nothing shall separate them from the love of Christ Yeshua (Romans 8: 35-39). They understand that neither death (Hades) nor life; celestials; principalities; powers; things currently happening (to them) or things that may happen (to them) will separate them from the love Christ has for them. It means they understand that this love is not about what they have to do for Christ but what Christ has done for them. They understand that if they show appreciation to Yeshua's complete work of salvation done on the crucifixion tree (John 19:30) by avoiding sins in their imperfection (flesh); it is Yahweh that works in them to perform his biddings (Philippians 2:12-13).
Now, you may be wandering who are these true believers. They are the one given the fruit of spirit to grasp the understanding that whatever they do are done to the glory of Yahweh. They are not in competition with fellow believers by avoiding sin. They are not trying to show-off their self righteousness. They are not impressed by other people's parading themselves for their self righteousness. They understand that their lots are cast in Christ Yeshua.
So, it takes nothing but the faith of Christ to walk in the spirit. The true believers are given this fruit of spirit. They did not earn it. They did not live holy life to acquire it. They are given by father according to the counsel of his will (Ephesians 1:11). You can see that these kinds of people are not religious oriented. They are not traditional place of worship members. Their bodies are the temples of Elohim Yahweh. Not the one we see physically. They are the ones that were chosen; called; justified and will be very soon glorified (Romans 8:30 paraphrased). These people were chosen before the disruption of this world. They did not earn it. You may refer to them as the chosen ones. These are not necessarily Israelites. Please, do not mix them up. They are chosen before the world we live began. So, you can see that it take only Yahweh to give these people this measure of faith. These people are the true members of the body of Christ Yeshua. They walk not according to the laws of flesh but according to the law of spirit.
I believe this may be a little complicated for some of you, but this is why this week's blog is not for everyone but to everyone. At least, you have been informed why Romans 8:1-4 has been treated for your reading pleasure.
Thanks for taking the time to read this week's blog.
I hope to complete this wonderful topic next week.
