YOUR HEART
Sunday, January 29th, 2012Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts,
since as members of one body you were
called to peace.
(Colossians 3.15).
HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!
Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts,

(Colossians 3.15).
HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!
Now if I do what I do not desire
to do, it is no longer I who do it,
but sin that dwells in me.
So I find it to be a rule of action
within my being that when I want
to do what is right and good, there
is evil in me, though I desire to do good.
For I delight in the Law of God
according to the inward man.
But I see another law in my members,
at war against the law of my mind,
making me a prisoner to the law of
sin which is in my members.
O wretched man that I am!
Who will deliver me from this
body of death?
I thank God! He will through Jesus
Christ our Lord!
So then, with the mind I myself
serve the Law of God, but with the
flesh the law of sin.
( Romans 7.20-25).
Please consider these points:
1) This dual nature presents a dilemma.
2) Flesh versus mind ( carnal versus
spiritual) continue to be in conflict.
3) The only way out of this dilemma
is to submit to the Lordship of Jesus.
4) The divine rescue mission is
accomplished by Jesus Christ our
Lord and Savior who died to deliver us
from our sins and rose to grant us
eternal life with Him, with The Father
and with the Holy Spirit.
The Rule of Love
The rule of God’s Kingdom is based on love, based on the law of the Spirit of God. Of course since God is love , His rulership is also the expression of His love.
Jesus Christ has reconciled us and allowed us to participate in this rule of love.
” Giving thanks to the Father who has qualified us to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in the light.”
” He has delivered us from the power of darkness and conveyed us into the
kingdom of the Son of His love,
In whom we have redemption through His blood ,
the forgiveness of our sins. ” ( Colossians1: 12-14).
Glory, honor, blessings and praise be to Him forevermore.
