SALVATION

TEXT : Romans 8:2


 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.* 


Soteria is the Greek word from which the word Salvation is coined. It does actually include preservation, safety and  deliverance from the molestation of enemies. (The essence of Jesus's coming to the earth was to save, deliver, preserve) man from that which has been molesting him since the fall in the garden. Hence, John introduced Jesus as the lamb that takes away the sin of the world.


 *"...Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world"John 1:29* 


You must know that the devil is not our major problem; the problem of man majorly is that the seed (sin)which the devil  had sown in man. Sin is the problem not the devil. If sin can be gotten rid of, the holdings of the enemy (devil)will be destroyed. 


 *Sin is not just an offence that  you commit. It is a law that is at work in you.* It is called the Law of Sin and Death. Romans 8:2. 


Jesus destroyed this law by overcoming sin in the days of His flesh. He condemned sin in the flesh.

 *For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh* : Romans 8:3.


Sin is of the devil, (where he got it from, no one knows). But Sin emanates from him when he decided to overthrow God.

Ezekiel 28:15 remarked  about Lucifer: *Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee.* Sin destroyed the perfection of Lucifer while he was in the presence of God. He was sent down to the earth, and he sold same to man(Adam and Eve).


 Jesus conquered Satan by living above the Law of Sin and death. Jesus destroyed sin in his body even before he went to the cross. John 14:30 *Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing in me.* 


The reason all men must come to Jesus is simply because He alone is the antidote to the power of Sin and Death. No one can break away from sin except through him.


Only Jesus saves. Only Jesus has the name that brings salvation to man. It is through Him alone man is saved from Sin.  

 *Acts 4:12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.* 


 *No one can be saved by his religion,  good works or self righteousness. Even church going does not save any man; only Jesus saves.* 



 *BIBLE READING:* Romans 8:1-39


*PRAYER FOCUS*


1. Lord, help me to see and appreciate the great price you paid for me on the cross.


2. I  receive the totality of the salvation you brought to me through the cross. 



 *CHRIST IMAGE ASSEMBLY*

THE GOOD FIGHT-2

Text:  1 Timothy  6:12   Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. Another thing to pursue in fighting the good fight of faith is Godliness. We understand through the Holy scriptures that godliness is profitable unto all things.   *For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.* 1 Timothy  4:8.  You will reap the reward of your godliness not only when you get to heaven, but from here on earth. And this is why we are admonished to exercise ourselves unto godliness. (1 Timothy  4:7), because godliness with contentment is great gain.1 Timothy  6:6. Godliness is the practice of conforming to the image of God by reflecting the nature of the kingdom of God in the course of everyday life. In other words, godliness is living and portray...

WAY MAKER-2

Text: Isaiah 43:19 Behold, I will do a new thing: now it shall spring forth: shall ye not know it?  I will even make a way in the wilderness,  and rivers in the desert. God promised that He will do a new thing for you, and that He will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. He has done this before, and He will do it again even in your own life.  When the children of Israel left Egypt, the Egyptians pursued after them, all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, and overtook them, encamping by the sea, beside Pihahiroth, before Baalzephon.(Exodus 14:9). Just like anyone would react, the Isrealites became so fearful because there is neither way forward nor back for them to escape. Before them was the red sea, behind them were the Egyptian armies. They became perplexed and began to murmur against Moses. It is possible you are also in a situation like the Israelites- No way forward, and no way behind. Things may appear like you are ...

BEWARE OF DOGS

Text :  Philippians 3:2. Beware of the dogs! Beware of the evil workers! Beware of the mutilators! Usually, when you see the inscription "BEWARE OF DOGS", you instantly know there's a wild or trained dog around the corner, hence, the need to beware.  However, when God says 'Beware of dogs,' He wasn't actually referring to dogs as in 'animals' but to animals in human skin. Note that this caution was given to believers against other so-called  believers.  That is, some people within the church that we refer to as brothers and sisters are actually operating in the capacity of dogs.Though fellow worshippers in the church are called brothers and sisters, but if they behave like wild animals, know that they are dogs in humans skin- BEWARE. Matthew  7:6 says *Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.*  Essentially, dogs don't have capacity to r...
