Check your dedication(Romans 6:12-14)

[瑤翰 김요한]

Check your dedication (Romans 6:12-14)

The gospel that Paul speaks, that the Lord Jesus Christ came in the flesh, died on the cross, rose again, and was resurrected to those who died in Adam (Rom. 1:3-4) and that  Jesus Christ, the Son of God, became the Savior.

There is no such thing as having to be born again separately, receiving Jesus Christ, or receiving the baptism of the Holy Spirit again.

Because if you believe that Jesus is both Lord and Christ, repent, and be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit begins to dwell in you, so you will receive salvation that solves the baptism of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 12:13), reception, and born again all at once.

That is David's faith.

It is the faith that always holds the Lord before us in the Holy Spirit and waits for the Lord who sits on the throne (Acts 2).

If you ask a child of God who, by accepting him as Lord in Christ, receives eternal life and becomes righteous and becomes one with Christ in the Spirit by following the truth and comes to God the Father, 'When were you born again, when did you receive the Lord Jesus?, when did you receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit?' you're just a good  person to be called a dull people.

It's a big problem because there are many dull  people like that.

Q. What are the conditions for the body to be offered to God?

“Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof.” (Romans 6:12)

A. If the body doesn't obey, baptism is the problem.

In other words, because faith is the problem and  heard gospel is the problem, it is because we cannot receive the grace of righteousness and life in Christ, depending on the life and death of the ransom of the cross.

All command verbs in the bible are accompanied by God's will, so if you follow God's promise place with faith, He will surely give you the strength to move on to the next step.

For example, if you have the secret of always receiving the supply of the spirit and life of the living Lord in Christ, you will have the constitution to fulfill the word to always rejoice.

If I declare with my mouth that I am dead to sin through Christ according to the knowledge of the word I hear, then I must not follow the Lord and obey sin on the spot.

He tells us not to follow the lusts of your mortal body because of sin (Rom 8:10).

The lust of the body is the fateful existence that accompanies us until we die.

But now we who are in Christ must not allow the lust of the body to set in us.

“Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin, but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as  instruments of righteousness unto God.” (Romans 6:13)

It means not lending not only your body, but even your fingers to sin.

Whether we live or die, we are of the Lord, and whether we eat or drink, it is for the Lord's glory.

Of course, there is a long process in the wilderness from the glory of the visible world through tribulation, patience, and refinement to seeking, hoping for, and rejoicing in the invisible glory of the heavens.

However, since we are sanctified through the sanctified Christ, we must pursue hurry the glory of the Lord and seek , fine, and knock the way that will bring glory to God.

Only those who have been called so and are becoming so, do it.

Those who are looking for gifts, signs, only Jesus, Jesus who will come again, just keep going.

Someday, the time will come when I will have to answer the questions of where I belong, who my master is, and where I am headed.

Until then, play to your heart's content in the  world.

Our spirits must be in harmony with God, our minds must be in harmony with the ethics of the situation and the norms of everyone around us, and our bodies must be conditioned by temperature and humidity.

In the midst of that, we give our members to God.

Do it when it happens.

God hates crafty hypocrisy with false deeds like the scribes and Pharisees.

Among our members, we must always guard our mouth.

The mouth is where everything is concentrated.

This is because the words of our lips are the comprehensive fruit of our faith.

In a word, it means to become a perfect volunteer for God.

If you send only your heart to God and the members do not follow, it means no.

So, if you confess with your mouth and you will be saved, and if you believes in your body, God will trust you.

So 'Oh Lord! I give you my soul, my heart and all the members of my body. You receive it and use it according to your will.” You must pray for dedication.

Q. How can you give God a your members?

“For sin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under the law, but under grace.” (Romans 6:14)

A. The key word is to consider ourselves as those who are alive from the dead and know that we are dead to sin and death and are under the grace of Christ.

Think of the grace of God in Christ as an abundant and large wrapping cloth.

Through the truth, we can own that grace as mine.

A child of God who has been accommodated within the breadth, length, height, and depth of God's love cannot dare to jump out of the large and wide wrapping cloth of grace that is three-dimensional and closely spaced.

Even in gospel songs, you sing ‘I don’t want to live away from my father’s arms’, right?

If you live a life of faith through the Word, you will have a formula for the truth within yourself.

You will know how to recover again, know the reason why you are suffering from Satan, and discern whether the slump came because you did not go to God, or whether the slump came because you were interested in something other than God.

There is a formula that can be recovered again.

A standard for checking my own house of faith is created.

So, if something goes wrong, it can be fixed quickly.

“Why do you complain, jacob? Why do you say, Israel, "My way is hidden from the Lord; my cause is disregarded by my God? But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength.” (Isa 40:27,31)

Such a formula of faith arises.

This formula is obtained by reckoning those who have died to sin through the Lord Jesus Christ and have been alive by being united with his resurrection  in Christ to God.

So we realize that we are no longer under the law to condemn , but under grace.

I hope this formula is clear to you.

Because of God's nature, a formula is created to change the root of the heart.

A person who has this formula will always meditate on the word of Jehovah (the law of the Lord) like Psalm 1.

'I was confused by situation ethics and dragged around by structural sins, and I constantly made excuses...' are all resolved.

Under the grace of God in Christ, both natural and structural sins are resolved.
