Remember this: sin will not conquer you, for God already has! You are not governed by law but governed by THE REIGN OF THE GRACE of God!
(Romans 6:14 The Passion Trans.)
In the previous posts we saw that all mankind, whether they are/were aware of it or not, came under the rule/reign of death through the fall of man... what exactly does that mean? Well, the scriptures of Truth, (which cannot be broken-only fulfilled) reveal that "...ALL sinned, and fall short of the Glory of God." (Romans 3:23) Part of the Glory of our Creator's pure intention for us is revealed by the Heavenly Father's great LOVE for us which chastens/disciplines/corrects us FOR OUR BENEFIT! Even that we might partake of His Holiness, and it is by the incorruptible seed of the Word of God (Yeshua), that we are made partakers of His Divine Nature of Everlasting Righteousness, and True Holiness, and are enabled to ESCAPE the CORRUPTION (caused sin's deceptive desires) that is in this temporal fallen world.
Why was it necessary for the Law of Moses to appear, knowing that sin got its strength from the Law, and is known as "the Law of sin and death"? It was necessary that we all might have full knowledge of our fallen state, and recognize our NEED TO RECEIVE the Grace of the Savior, and the Gift of His Righteousness through Faith.
"Because by works of Law not one of all flesh will be justified before Him, for through Law is full knowledge of sin. But NOW a righteousness of God has been revealed apart from Law, being witnessed by the Law and the Prophets, even the righteousness of God through faith of Jesus Christ toward all and upon all those believing; for there is no difference, for ALL SINNED ALL FALL SHORT OF THE GLORY of God..."
(Romans 3:20-23 LITV)
This Blog is titled "GET YOUR CROWN ON- Reign in Life", because "the crown has fallen from our head" and we may not have even realized it!
"The crown has fallen from our head. Woe to us, for we have sinned! For this our heart is faint. For these things our eyes are dim."
(Lamentations 5:16-17 WEBA)
Our earthly life is full of "woe to us" when we are unknowingly captives of the powers of darkness, stumbling (sinning) over things that we cannot even perceive as dangers, because "the crown (of the True Light of the Knowledge of His Glory) has fallen from our head"!
With this Crown of "The True Light that now shines", "Christ in us, the Hope of GLORY" we are enabled to "REIGN IN LIFE" over all the power of sin and death, that caused our eyes to be DIM.
The result of sin, and the Fall from the Glory of God, caused our eyes to be DIM; but, thanks be to our Mighty Redeemer's saving Grace that we are being enabled by the instruction of Yahweh's Good Spirit, (the Spirit of Wisdom and Insight, the Spirit of Counsel and Might, the Spirit of Knowledge and the Fear of the Lord), to have the EYES of our UNDERSTANDING ENLIGHTENED to KNOW the HOPE of His calling back into the riches of His Glory and Virtue, that we may walk in the Power of His Might, who gives us authority to rule over all the powers of darkness, that sin may no longer have DOMINION over us, for Grace now Reigns through the Righteousness of His Faith! :)
Behold, a KING SHALL REIGN in RIGHTEOUSNESS, and princes shall rule in justice. A man shall be as a hiding place from the wind, and a covert from the storm, as streams of water in a dry place, as the shade of a large rock in a weary land. The eyes of those who see WILL NOT BE DIM, and the ears of those who hear WILL LISTEN. The heart of the rash WILL UNDERSTAND knowledge, and the tongue of the stammerers WILL BE READY to speak plainly.
(Isaiah 32:1-4 WEBA)
Lastly, brothers and sisters, please know that His Grace and Peace will be MULTIPLIED unto us through the KNOWLEDGE of God and of Yeshua our Lord...(Also know that God's "people are DESTROYED for lack of Knowledge" and it is ONLY the Truth that you KNOW that can set and keep you FREE.) In closing, remember that it is His Grace that now Reigns through the Gift of His Righteousness, and it His PEACE that will RULE in our hearts and crush Satan shortly underneath our feet, and it is His JOY that is our strength, for His Divine Power has already given us everything we need for LIFE and GODLINESS! :)
"His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness, THROUGH THE KNOWLEDGE of Him who called us by His own glory and virtue. Through these things He has given us His precious and magnificent promises, so that through them you may BECOME PARTAKERS OF THE DIVINE NATURE, since you have escaped the corruption that evil desires have brought into the world. Now for this very reason, making every effort, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue, knowledge; and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, patience; and to patience, godliness; and to godliness, brotherly love; and to brotherly love, love. For if these qualities are in you and increasing, they keep you from becoming idle and unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah. But anyone who lacks these qualities is blind—nearsighted because he has forgotten his cleansing from past sins. Therefore, brothers and sisters, make all the more effort to make your calling and election certain—for if you keep doing these things, you will never stumble. For in this way entry into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior, Messiah Yeshua, will be richly provided for you. Therefore I intend to keep reminding you of these things, even though you know them and are well-grounded in the truth that you have."
(2 Peter 1:3-12 TLV)
"For the KINGDOM of God is not a matter of rules about food and drink, but is in THE REALM OF THE HOLY SPIRIT, filled with righteousness, peace, and joy. Serving the Anointed One by walking in these kingdom realities pleases God and earns the respect of others. So then, make it your top priority to live a life of peace with harmony in your relationships, eagerly seeking to strengthen and encourage one another."
(Romans 14:17-19 TPT)
Amen, even so, come Lord Yeshua, your Kingdom come, your will be done, on earth AS IT IS in Heaven! :)
