Our salvation is an accomplished fact.
How is it that Paul was accused of preaching;
“shall we do evil that good may come”
It was because those people that accused Paul of such a thing did not understand the Gospel Paul was preaching, for if they understood what Paul was preaching they could never have accused him of such.
The Gospel that Paul was preaching was “faith in Christ Jesus” whereby if you had faith in the free gift of God in Christ Jesus, which was procured by His death and resurrection, you by virtue of that faith were saved.
People therefore accused him of preaching “shall we sin that grace may abound”
Which Paul goes on to say their condemnation was just.
So just what was this Gospel that Paul preached that he so roundly condemned those that accused him of preaching a gospel that allowed sin.
Paul was preaching that you were saved by the free gift of God and by the faith in that gift.
So what was this gift of God to the believing heart that came through the death and resurrection of Christ Jesus?
It was your death and resurrection.
For when Christ died on the cross He took us to death with Him. This was the gift of God to mankind in and through Christ Jesus, our deaths.
For by the sinners death, are they made free from all that would cause them to sin.
It is by the faith in what Christ did for us on the cross are we saved. And what was that that Christ did for us on the cross?
He took us to death with Him.
Thereby by being joined with Him in His death, we have been made free from sin, that we might be joined to another, and become obedient from the heart to such a form of teaching.
So Paul was preaching a Gospel that was 100% a free gift of God to the believing heart. But that gift of God to the believing heart was our death.
“For he that has died, is free from sin” and “how can one who has died to sin still live in it”
This was the Gospel Paul was preaching, the free gift of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
There is but one way that a believer still lives in sin, yet he is saved, has yet to, by faith, grab onto their death in Christ, whereby through that faith that would grab onto their death in Christ can and will they walk in newness of life.
By Grace you have been saved through faith and that not of yourself it is a gift of God.
Let us thereby grab onto the gift of God to us by Christ Jesus, which is our deaths in Him and;
“reckon ourselves dead indeed onto sin and alive onto God” by which faith, whereby we can, and will, learn to walk in newness of life.
Blessings to all that would be willing to search these truths, of our deaths in Christ, out for themselves, so they might learn by experience,
“it is no longer I who live but Christ who lives in me”
Than it becomes simply a matter of faith in your death in Christ. Than it will ring true. To the degree you apprehend your death in Christ, to that degree can and will you be set free from your fallen nature, whereby you might walk in newness of life.
Much love in Christ, Not me
