… of many things …

The Lord Jesus said: “…the words that I speak unto you, [they] are spirit, and [they] are life.” (John 6:63) So why is it that so many people are condemned by the Word of God (especially what I call Old Testament Christians (the New Testament is a testament of G R A C E — you do the math))?

1 Corinthians 15:56 says, “The sting of death [is] sin; and the strength of sin [is] the law.” The law can be summed up as anything you or I do of our own volition/power. I believe so many people are condemned by the Word of God because to them it is not much more (if any bit more) than a set of do’s and don’ts — a law, instead of Spirit and Life. Rule-keeping does not glorify God, it glorifies man’s ability to “do for himself.”

As you live your life in obligation to God you strengthen sin in your life. Thus it is imperative that a man live by faith and grace, which of course we cannot do ourselves. If you find yourself in such a state that you are not living by grace (Galatians 2:20) look to God today for the grace to be made His child! Anyone who seeks will find him. Those who knock at His door will be invited in. All who ask anything of God in order to glorify Him in their lives will be answered.
