I’ve felt your draw all of my life. Your pull has led me into ways that are destructive to myself, and to those that love me, including my most core relationship; the relationship with my Creator. Every time there was an opportunity for advancement; there you were sin, like a lead anchor around my feet. Using every way possible to frustrate my destiny and thereby thwarting the Creator’s original intent for myself and those around me.
One day my Master through one of His servants came and showed me the way out. And I was FREE! No longer bound by your anchoring chains. I felt the flow of my Creator once again. His flow was so comforting, that even though it was the first time I had experienced it in my life; His flow was what I had been searching for, but had been unable to find. I finally was lit up from the inside out.
Immediately after your (sin’s) anchor was removed from my neck; you started your constant barrage to place it back around my neck. Trying to find a place of darkness for your (sin’s) heaviness to attach. you even attacked me with scripture; similarly as you attacked my Master, Jesus.
“For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;” Romans 3:23 KJV
Taking this scripture and twisting it to say “For all currently have sin, and nobody’s perfect.”
Taking the freedom in Christ, who knew no sin; and attempting to turn my new walk with Him, into my same, old sinful walk, but now with Christ added in? What about this:
“For God knew his people in advance, and he chose them to become like his Son, so that his Son would be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters.” Romans 8:29
Did Jesus have sin? Did He walk in it? Did He like some of us; wallow in sin and still say He had relationship with God? God forbid!
Wasn’t it Christ’s freedom from sin that allowed Him to become the perfect sacrifice, for our sins? How will we be like Him; and be His brothers and sisters?
By sinning and ONLY being forgiven of sin, but still operating in it? How twisted, how putrid, how demonic!
Or by believing that Jesus’ life, and the shedding of His blood; was strong enough to free us from the punishment of sin, from ages past to all the ages future, yet not strong enough to free us FROM sin, but to only forgive us FOR sin??!!
What a satanic cop out! …..
Jesus loves, Jesus forgives; but He can’t do anything about sin…
So just keep right on sinning, because your forgiven, brother……
Jesus’ blood can forgive, but you’ll always have me (sin).
NO NO NO NO NO NO NO!
“For in Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of Life has set you FREE FROM the law of sin and death.” Romans 8:2 Berean Study Bible
FREE FROM sin! Not; only forgiven of sin!
So accept this note as my formal letter to you sin; that:
No more, will I accept your lie that, “I have to deal with you”.
We are officially done!
I don’t love you anymore; and you never loved me, you cannot love!
I have been found by a Greater Lover! I want to become like Him; and not like you.
I want to stare at Him. When I think about or try to look at you anymore; you make me sick!
No more will I allow your presence to separate me from my Creator.
No more will I listen to your lies that it’s okay if you stick around….and to answer that; what about:
“Anyone who sins breaks God’s law. Yes, sinning is the same as living against God’s law. You know that Christ came to take away people’s sins. There is no sin in Christ. So whoever lives in Christ does not continue to sin. If they continue to sin, they have never really understood Christ and have never known him. Dear children, don’t let anyone lead you into the wrong way. Christ always did what was right. So to be good like Christ, you must do what is right. The devil has been sinning since the beginning. Anyone who continues to sin belongs to the devil. The Son of God came for this: to destroy the devil’s work.”
1 John 3:4-8 Easy Read Version
sin, My mission here is to make sure you don’t try and rebuild what my Big Brother Jesus, destroyed. Jesus destroyed you, sin. Jesus didn’t just forgive us for participating in you;
He freed us FROM you!
P.S. Oh and by the way, sin; tell your creepy, rotten, scumbag of a brother “death“, that were coming for him, next!
