The closing days of 2023 are just
around the corner. So what's next?
You and I are people of The BOOK.
According to 2 Corinthians 5:6-7:
6 THEREFORE WE ARE ALWAYS
CONFIDENT, KNOWING THAT, WHILST
WE ARE AT HOME IN THE BODY, WE
ARE ABSENT FROM THE LORD:
7 (FOR WE WALK BY FAITH, NOT BY
SIGHT.)
Dear Partner,
There it is. "
We are ALWAYS
CONFIDENT"! How and why? Because
we walk by faith and not by sight!
Looking back can bring
condemnation.
Condemning ourselves
will never change or fix anything. Let's
read what the Spirit of God is saying
through the Apostle Paul in Romans
8:1-6:
1 THERE IS THEREFORE NOW
NO
CONDEMNATION TO THEM WHICH
ARE IN CHRIST JESUS, WHO WALK
NOT AFTER THE FLESH, BUT AFTER
THE SPIRIT.
2 FOR THE LAW OF THE SPIRIT OF
LIFE IN CHRIST JESUS HATH MADE ME
FREE FROM THE LAW OF SIN AND
DEATH.
3 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:
4 THAT THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF THE
LAW MIGHT BE FULFILLED IN US,
WHO WALK NOT AFTER THE FLESH,
BUT AFTER THE SPIRIT.
5 FOR THEY THAT ARE AFTER THE
FLESH DO MIND THE THINGS OF THE
FLESH; BUT THEY THAT ARE AFTER
THE SPIRIT THE THINGS OF THE
SPIRIT.
6 FOR TO BE CARNALLY MINDED IS
DEATH; BUT TO BE SPIRITUALLY
MINDED IS LIFE AND PEACE.
Read it again. How much
condemnation?
NONE! It is, however,
conditional: "Walk not after the flesh
but after the Spirit." Or, walk after The
WORD. Read on in verses 7-10:
7 BECAUSE THE CARNAL MIND IS
ENMITY AGAINST GOD: FOR IT IS NOT
SUBJECT TO THE LAW OF GOD,
NEITHER INDEED CAN BE.
