THE BLESSINGS AND BENEFITS OF THE RESURRECTION OF JESUS. Part 18.

Romans 6:6, 11-12, 14 (KJV) 6 Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin. 11 Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord. 12 Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof. 14 For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.
Romans 8:1-2 (KJV) There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. 2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.., Rom 8:1-13
2Corinthians 5:15-17; Romans 6:3-5; 8:11; 1Corinthians 2:7-8; 15:12-23; Hebrews 11:35;

Today we continue a new series of study titled THE BLESSINGS AND BENEFITS OF THE RESURRECTION OF JESUS to enable us to walk in the fullness of the resurrection power.

24. The blood of Jesus was the full and complete price for sin both past, present and future. The price of sin having been fully paid forever, sin lost its power and right over any man except you willingly submit yourself to it. Even when you willingly or unwillingly do so, the blood of Jesus is always available if you confess your sins. There are Four types of sin: The Sin Nature, Sins of Omissions, Sins of Commission and Sin unto Death:

I). THE SIN NATURE: Genesis 2:17 (KJV) "But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die." The sin nature is not sin by commission or omissions but sin by nature. The sin nature is what happened to all human beings when Adam sinned. It is sin as a result of spiritual death of Adam the first man. When Adam sinned he became spiritually dead and through him all human beings are born spiritually dead and carrying the sin nature in them. To be spiritually dead is to be separated from God because of sin. All spiritually dead people have the sin nature. It is the sin that makes you a sinner not because of what you have done but because you were born spiritually dead through Adam. That means being a sinner by birth and nature. To be spiritually alive is to born of the spirit and having the divine nature through Jesus Christ.

God created Lucifer, all the angels and Adam spiritually alive but when they sinned they died spiritually, were separated from God and took on the sin nature. From Adam all human beings are born spiritually dead and carrying the sin nature. The bible says in Genesis 5:3 (KJV) "And Adam lived an hundred and thirty years, and begat a son in his own likeness, after his image; and called his name Seth:". By natural birth all human beings are born sinners and are called sinners before they commit any sin. The sin nature is a generational sin passed on to you through your father from Adam and Eve the first sinners.

The sin nature makes you a sinner because you are a descendant of the first Adam. When you are spiritually dead and carrying the sin nature, you naturally live a life of sin because death is naturally at work in your life. And there is nothing you can do on your own to stop sinning and there is nothing you can do on your own to stop being called a sinner. As a born sinner everything you do is sin, you can never do anything that is pleasing to God no matter how good It may be. The bible says in Romans 5:12 (KJV) "Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:".

This was the state of all human beings before Jesus Christ redeemed us from spiritual death and changed our nature from sin nature to divine nature. Today every unbeliever is spiritually dead until they reeceive the new birth and the divine nature when they become born again. Every unbeliever is under the law of sin death and doomed to die because of his sin nature unless he changes his nature in Christ Jesus. According to Romans 8:1-2 only the law of the spirit in Christ Jesus can set you free from the law of sin death. Being born again and having the divine nature you are no longer condemned as a sinner, you can no longer be called a sinner. A sinner is one by birth and sin nature. Genesis 3:8; Ephesians 2:1-3,12; John 1:12-13; 2Peter 1:3-4; John 3:16-17; 1Corinthians 15:21-22,45-57;

If you need healing the bible says In Matthew 8:17 that Jesus Himself took all our sicknesses and diseases. Therefore you can receive your healing now by faith in the name of Jesus. Just lay your hand on the affected area and say this prayer. Father God in the name of Jesus I believe that Jesus died for my healing. I believe He took all my sickness and diseases on the cross. If He took them, then I cannot have them. Therefore I resist and I reject every sickness in my body and I confess Jesus today as my healer and I receive my healing now. Thank you Jesus that I am healed. 1Peter 2:24; Ps 107:20.
Now begin to do what you couldn't do before because of the sickness. You are healed in Jesus name.

Jesus is coming very soon. Are you ready? Heaven is real, hell is real. The time is very short. Choose Jesus today.
You can become a born again child of God today. The bible says If thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. Romans 10:9-10; John 1:12.

Say this prayer: O God have mercy on me. I come to you today in the name of Jesus. I believe in my heart that Jesus is the Son of God. I believe that He died for me. I believe that you raised Him from the dead for my salvation from all the powers of the devil. I accept Jesus in my heart today and I confess Him today as my Lord and Saviour. Thank you Father that today I am saved In Jesus name.

If you prayed this prayer of Salvation, please go to a nearby bible believing Church in your area, so you can grow in the grace of our Lord Jesus. Grace be with you.

Grace be with you.
