​and Writing

Delivered!

            “For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set me free from the law of sin and death.” Romans 8:2 MEV. The same verse in The Message translation reads as follows: “Those who enter into Christ’s being-here-for-us no longer have to live under a continuous, low-lying black cloud. A new power is in operation. The Spirit of life in Christ, like a strong wind, has magnificently cleared the air, freeing you from a fated lifetime of brutal tyranny at the hands of sin and death.” Romans 8: 1-2.
            As born-again Christians, what does it mean to be free from the law of sin and death? Here are a just a few of the things it signifies:
  1. We have the fruit of His Spirit residing in us – love, joy, peace, patience, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, and self-control – Galatians 5: 22-23
  2. We’ve been made to sit together with Jesus in heavenly places – Ephesians 2:6
  3. We have the capacity to love as He loves – Romans 5:5
  4. We are heirs of the God of the universe and joint heirs with our Elder Brother, Jesus – Romans 8:17. Everything that belongs to Jesus belongs to us!
  5. We are kings and priests to God – Revelation 5:10
  6. We’ve been given the power of attorney to use His Name to defeat the works of the devil – Mark 16: 17
  7. We’ve been delivered from the kingdom of darkness into His marvelous light – Colossians 1:13, 1 Peter 2:9
         How can we operate in the law of the Spirit of life? In John 6:63, Jesus said, “The words that I speak to you are spirit and are life.”
       For any situation we face, we can choose to speak words of the law of sin and death, words of unbelief and doubt or we can choose to speak the Word of God, words of the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus.
       On the one hand, we have the lies of the devil. On the other, the truth of the Word of God. We are the deciding witness. 2 Corinthians 13:1 NIV says, "...Every matter must be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses." Do we bear witness with Satan's lies or God's truth?
      My dear friend, no matter how dire your circumstances are today, speak the Word of God over them and activate the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus. God’s Word will never fail you.

I pray that each of us as believers will walk each day in the knowledge that the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has delivered us from the law of sin and death. Notice that it says HAS delivered us, not will. The law of sin and death cannot touch our lives unless we allow it to. Today, let's walk in the abundant life Jesus has provided for us.

    In this Blog, I want to share with you some of the things I've learned from many years of following Jesus. 

    Also, I'd like to impart some of what is involved in writing Christian romance fiction.

    I'd love to receive your comments in either category.
