Randy Bell: Liberty and Victory Over Sin (audio)

 

1 Peter 2:15-16 (NKJV) “For this is the will of God, that by doing good you may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men– as free, yet not using liberty as a cloak for vice, but as bondservants of God.”

Romans 6:5-14 (NKJV)
5  For if we have been united together in the likeness of His death, certainly we also shall be in the likeness of His resurrection,
6  knowing this, that our old man was crucified with Him, that the body of sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves of sin.
7  For he who has died has been freed from sin.
8  Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with Him,
9  knowing that Christ, having been raised from the dead, dies no more. Death no longer has dominion over Him.
10  For the death that He died, He died to sin once for all; but the life that He lives, He lives to God.
11  Likewise you also, reckon yourselves to be dead indeed to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
12  Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body, that you should obey it in its lusts.
13  And do not present your members as instruments of unrighteousness to sin, but present yourselves to God as being alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God.
14  For sin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under law but under grace.

The Evidence Of God’s Hand on His People is Grace

The Lord releases grace as a river of life pushing and shoving us to holiness and freedom from sin. Grace is the release of God’s power inside each believer causing, first desires to obey and serve Him, and secondly power to fulfill His will. “And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me” [2 Cor 12:9 (KJV)].

Before salvation, “sin has reigned unto death,” but in Christ, “even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord.” [Romans 5:21 (KJV)]

“… it is God who works in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure.” [Phil 2:13 (NKJV)]

“We know that whoever is born of God does not sin; but he who has been born of God keeps himself, and the wicked one does not touch him.” 1 John 5:18 (NKJV)

God’s hand is upon His true children and they are radically changed from His power of new birth. The sincere religious people who attend church meetings or just live their lives, falsely believing they have a relationship with God, are exposed by the fact they still live in sin, instead of experiencing God’s heavy hand of Fatherhood and the resulting blessing of the power of right living!
