What is it necessary to be saved (Part 35).
Justification by Jesus' blood means that the sin was annihilated and that, therefore, there isn't any reason to sin:
• "Otherwise, He would have needed to suffer often since the foundation of the world; but now once at the consummation of the ages He has been manifested to put away sin by the sacrifice of Himself." (Hebrews 9:26).
• "There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. 8:3 For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh: that the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit." (Romans 8.1,3,4).
• "And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin. Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him. Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous. He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God." (1John 3.5-9).
• "We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not; but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not." (1 John 5:18).
Jesus sacrificed Himself to reconcile us with the Creator (Romans 5.10) and rose so that, through His life in us (John 10.10,17,18), we can be seed of justice in the life of people, that is to say, our presence should make people bear the fruit of our justice (2Cor 9.10; Rev 19.8) and the gospel of Jesus can be beyond our frontiers (2Cor 10.15,16).
One of the things that stirs us up to sin is that we forget that Jesus put people around us to be the crown of our ministry (1Thess 2.19), our letter of recommendation (2Cor 3.2,3). That is to say, our faith is characterized by what we write in people's heart. After all, what sense is there in conquering only our spiritual salvation and purification? We will be equal an animal that struggles by its survival.
If our life can't influence other people (as it was purposed for us in Gen 1.28) so that Jesus' grace can be greatly visible in its manyfold forms (love, compassion, justice, etc. - 1Peter 4.10), so, what is the finality of our life? For what to life if, through us, it isn't doable to see the Creator's goodness in this world (Psalms 27.13,14)
If Jesus enjoined us to be perfect as the Father (Mat 5.48; see also 1Peter 1.16), therefore this boon can be fulfilled in us.
So, let's have a elated week free from the possibility of being a curse in the life of somebody.
