if it was not done and finnished then Christs sacrafice was not enough now that isn't to say we can just do as we please but the power sin had over us is no more
That is true, and the new life does not flow through those under Law, at least never did me any good for me under Law, but to reveal to me what being under Law does to me at least. It trapped me in sin, that I could not get out from under it, as Romans 7 discusses, under Law under a curse and the Law is not the curse, I the first born flesh is when was under to do it. and that took a very long time to figure that out and remain humble in it, after getting delivered from under Law, To see the liberty of Law, that in Son it is done, so I can go ahead and do it. What?
I remember the day I got caught up under Law to not do or else attitude. That took a deep effect on me, to not Do any Sin ever again, even though saw it was already done by Son for me, as well as all others. God Father did it for all, through Son, for us to be new in love and mercy to all, this is given me, you and all that believe God, to do it by God for each personally first. Done for us in our stead, my stead of being the one, that was trying to do it, To see "I" can't and no one else can but God, through Son Jesus. can and did it for us all to believe it and be freed from under Law to do it willingly without taking any credit in doing it over it, which is upholding Law as good, to be humble and remain humble in it, between God and me and each person personally. that is the born again new life I see, as each person makes their own decision.
A perplexity I think all people go through, at least me I see I did and am in an unredeemed body, yet by God this body is made new in risen Son, done by God alone, for me anyways. I believe Jesus is risen where new life begins. My problem under Law was and can be easily in the way again and has, as I continue to learn new daily. I was way too busy trying to imitate the Christ that walked this earth here once over 2,000 years ago, being born of flesh and blood. As all are first born of flesh and blood first birth, in need to be born new from God Father in risen Son, not imitating him as religion only does.
Actually be born new from Father in risen Son given them to not be under Law anymore.
There is a distinct difference, it might be time to see Romans 6 again, that states we are dead to sin, time to believe it, done by God for us through Son as risen to us
I knew a person that was an Alcoholic, would quit and go back and quit and go back. Perplexed and stressed over this up and down yo-yo life here on earth. Was doing their best to be like Christ, and would seem to get there, then again not
This man got asked one day
"Which Jesus Christ did he believe in?"
The man answered WHAT!!!!!!!!!!! there is only one Jesus!
The other speaking said to him.
I am asking you which one, The one you keep trying to imitate? Or the risen Jesus that desires to live his risen life through you? That he saw right away the difference and has not touched a drop since.
Turn to God, God did take away all the nasty nines and dirty dozen away through Son for us all to be new in Son's risen Life for them to love all, not just those one might choose to, ALL! for all and these become content in all things here on earth whether it be good or bad
Thanks Blain, you are a perfect example of this in your testament
