We Have Been Freed, So Why are You Living like Meer Men and Women
God has rescued us from the Dominion of darkness. We have been set free in Christ. Living out this freedom requires participatory action on our part. To get any of the benefits from being a Christian we must receive His way of living on planet earth. The earth was compromised long ago by Adam and Eve’s disobedience in the garden. That disobedience caused a ripple effect throughout mankind’s existence on earth until this day. We were all born into sin, taking on the sin nature by default (Psalm 51:5). That sin nature has caused us to live a little more intelligently than the animals. God created us in His own image and likeness (Genesis 1:27). There’s a way of life far above the actions and behavioral habits of animals. We are spiritual beings capable of commanding things to get in order concerning our lives. Because of ignorance of God’s way, we settle for a normal life, whereas the Lord expects us to live above the struggles and evil in this world unto a supernatural life. What was the point of Jesus dying for our sins if we don’t take advantage of that finished work at Calvary. Yes, we are in this world, but shouldn’t be of it (John 17:14). We are in the Kingdom of the Son God loves, and He, Jesus has redeemed us from the curse of the law, translating us into the kingdom of light from darkness. Living God’s way is simply living with self-control, more freedom from temptations overtaking us, and having a clear thinking mind along with knowing God’s taking care of everything, so you don’t have to worry about anything.
