Glory be to God! ** 🙋🏾♀️ STAY TUNED UNTIL THE VERY END OF THIS EPISODE! ** 🚩TUNE IN EVERY 2 TO 3 DAYS FOR NEW EPISODES! Follow me on Facebook under AuntCynthia Whitaker 😊💥 Join me today on the podcast (link below) as I discuss: The evidence of the new birth is righteous behavior in the life of the believer. Sanctification is evident in a changed life. God changes us from the inside out. The purpose of sanctification is to get us prepared to meet the Living God on the Day Christ returns. We are being set apart from the "world" and consecrated, isolated, unto God for His purpose - that's sanctification. That is why the Lord commands us to be holy as He is holy! "For without holiness, no man shall see the Lord" (study Hebrews 12:14). We cannot stand before a holy God in unrighteousness. And those of us who have called on the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ to be saved, we are commanded to live a life of holiness and righteousness - a life that is NOT characterized by sin. Sin is not a lifestyle any longer. The evidence of our faith, is a holy life in Christ Jesus, as we are led by the Spirit of Christ.
“No one who is born of God practices sin, because His seed abides in Him, and he cannot practice sin because he is born of God” (1 John 3:9). To “practice” sin, is to sin AS A WAY OF LIFE. A true believer (one who follows, listen, and obeys the teachings of Jesus Christ) does not live in habitual sin.
All areas of our life should be in the process of being conformed to the likeness of Jesus Christ. Sin is abnormal and unnatural for the believer. Why? Because Christ Jesus died for our sins, and nailed its dominating power to the cross. Romans chapter 6, tells us that sin is no longer our master. In Christ, we can live a life of righteousness, because He has set us free from the slavery of sin! We are no longer in bondage. We must be willing participants in our sanctification. Why? So we don't shrink back in fear when He returns, having lived a life of sin, instead of holiness! "And now, dear children, remain in fellowship with Christ so that when he returns, you will be full of courage and not shrink back from him in shame" (1 John 2:28). Amen! Be prepared to meet the King of glory! 🎯 REPENT and BELIEVE and TURN back to God!
