Who are you from God's perspective? #3

Ok let's continue on looking at how God views us, not how we view ourselves! Today we see we are free from the hold sin has on us look at this verse:


Romans 6:18

18 and, having been set free from sin, have become slaves of righteousness



Oh yeah! We are free from sin. It no longer has a hold on us, because now we are slaves to righteousness in Christ. God does not see our sin anymore! He sees the righteousness of Christ in us! So why oh why do we let past sin come back to haunt us and burden us? The devil is good at this trick of bring our past sin up to try and beat us down with it....don't allow it! It is a lie! You are righteous in God's eyes!



So if we are free from sin than we are free from it's condemnation! Look here:



Romans 8:1-4

8 There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. 2 For the law of the Spirit of life has set you free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death. 3 For God has done what the law, weakened by the

flesh, could not do. By sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, he condemned sin in the flesh, 4 in order that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not according to the flesh but

according to the Spirit.



God no longer sees our sin so we are no longer convicted by God for our sin because it has been covered by Jesus! Makes me want to shout! Thank you Jesus! Jesus fulfilled the the law, all the requirements of God for us so that we no longer walk in our sinful fleshly desires but according to the Holy Spirit who dwells in each child of God!



So today we see that God sees us....sin free, righteous in Christ, and free from the convictions that sin brings upon us! Are you living this way or are you allowing the devil to warp your view? Don't! You are victorious through Christ Jesus...live like it!
