Bible Text: Romans 8:1-4
those who are in jesus
There was a clever guru who was good at predicting what was going to happen in the future. Hearing the rumors, people gathered. Three scholars, who were going to Hanyang to see the past, visited the master and asked who would take the exam. The master closed his eyes, held out a finger, and said nothing. A scholar said, “Does one finger mean that only one person can pass?” asked. The master said, “Stop. Because it is heavenly, it cannot be leaked. Curious, the scholars went up to Hanyang. The attendant asked, unable to contain his curiosity. “Does the teacher sticking out one finger mean that only one person will pass?” “Yes” “What if two?” “Then it means that one will not pass. “What if all three scholars pass?” “At that time, it means that you will pass without any exceptions. The servant slapped his knee and said, “Master, that was the heavenly flag. We do not believe in selling or buying. We believe in God and believe in Jesus whom he sent.
There is never condemnation
There is humor that blasphemes humanity while condemning everyone. People with blood type O are cucumbers. It's arrogant, selfish, and arrogant. People with type B are pickled radish. It's simple, ignorant, and disgusting. Type A people are sausages. It's timid, it's boring, and it's disgusting. People with type AB are supportive. It's all like shit.
“There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus” (verse 1). The difference between in (in sid)i and out (out sid) is a blank sheet of paper. The inside and outside are divided with a sheet of shoji paper in between. Nationalities change along the 38th parallel. In the south there is freedom and abundance, in the north there is only dictatorship and poverty.
The Bible describes Satan as “the accuser of the brother.” The devil makes people live in guilt. Our enemy devil shoots arrows of condemnation, saying, “What did I not do?” and “What should I do?” Revealing past mistakes and wrongdoings is depressing. “You are a mess” “What are you good at?” It is said.
What is grace? It's just a gift, even if you don't deserve it. In terms of qualifications, no one can be saved. It is no longer right for the believer to live in guilt. We must come boldly to the throne of grace.
Brazil's President Lula was a leader in liberation theology and the labor movement, and was elected president with overwhelming support from the left. He changed when he took office. The economy was developed from the standpoint of market economy, not egalitarianism. Why did you change? who asked. His answer is simple. He was a labor activist then, but is he not president now? The person who sat in the president's seat asked, "Should I do a labor movement?" I said the president of Brazil.
Why can't South America live? In a word, the historian's judgment is that it is only the fault of others while crying out for empty socialism. They said that they were poor and disorderly because of external forces, and they blamed others for it.
Adam believes that he sinned because of his wife. “The woman whom God gave to be with me, she gave me, and I ate. I ate Eve because the serpent deceived me. (Genesis 3:12-13) Transferring responsibility is satanic. While evading self-responsibility, someone seeks to shift responsibility. They are all descendants of Adam. But Joseph is different. “You intended to harm me, but God turned it for good…to save the lives of all people” (Genesis 50:20). He did not condemn the brothers. Thanks to you, I think I'm fine.
Jesus said to those who brought a man who had committed a mortal sin, “If any of you are without sin, let him cast a stone at him!” He said to the woman who was brought in, “Where are those who condemned you!” “No. “Neither do I condemn you. He said (John 78:10-11). From now on, do not condemn yourself or others. That is who is in Jesus.
I live by the law of life.
Those who are in Jesus are free from the law of death and live by the law of life. The law of death leads to death in the mind of the flesh, and the law of life leads to life and peace in the mind of the spirit.
“For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and death” (verse 2). To be governed by the law of life, you must enter into Jesus.
When Jesus was in Capernaum, he took a paralytic with him. They broke through the roof and ran down the patient to the room where Jesus was. Entering the room where Jesus was, the paralytic was healed. The life of Jesus saved the man who the law of death had overthrown.
The habit of complaining comes from the law of sin. A happy life is impossible without breaking the habit of complaining. If you complain often, you become a complainer. If you keep thinking negative thoughts and saying negative things, the thorn thistle will grow.
To break free from any habit or addiction, you must first know where you are and who you are. You have to think about escaping from there, and you need to specifically decide to leave.
If a man just opens his mouth, he will swear. I went to college and got a good job. But every word he says to his wife is a curse. Why? Old habits made it so. It is a sin to rule him. We are captivated by sin and we live as slaves to sin. Such a person needs to record and listen to the words of everyday life. You can only know yourself by listening to what you say, and you can correct yourself only when you know that you are swearing.
The prodigal son returned to his father's house. He realized it while living in a distant country. He sighed in the pig's curtain. My father's house has plenty of food, but I'm dying of hunger here! It wasn't easy for him to make up his mind and come back. But when he returned and sat down, he was given nice clothes, a tune, and shoes. A feast was held for the son who returned from slaughtering a fattened calf. My father's house was governed by the law of life. In distant countries, death laws ruled. The great thing about the second son is that he converted himself. It didn't end when I was trying to save face. Turning around is repentance, and that is a new beginning.
Jesus said I am the vine. Abide in me, and I in you. If you abide in me and I in you, this man will bear much fruit.
When Socrates died of an unjust judgment, he said, "Evil law is law." Some live by the law of life, and some cause death by the law of death. Jesus raised Lazarus from the dead and said, “Loosen the ropes that bound the dead and let them go.” I hope you live by the law of life.
I live by the Holy Spirit.
The Holy Spirit works in Jesus. The energy of the Holy Spirit is in Jesus. “To us who walk according to the Spirit… … .” (verse 4). Those who are in Jesus are “those who walk according to the Spirit. In order for Abraham to become a source of blessing, he had to leave his homeland. I followed God's instructions. I have to choose whether to live shackled by curses or led by blessings. Our opponents are not flesh and blood, but evil spirits. We must conquer evil spirits. Otherwise, you lose again. Don't let the pattern of defeat and abandonment take hold in your body.
To break the curse that flows through our family, we must first acknowledge the existence of the curse. And I must admit that I cannot break the chains of curse that have flowed down my family with my own strength. Next, you have to believe that God can do it. “… … We must believe that what God could not do because it was weak through the flesh” (verse 3).
Ruth, a Moabitess, got married and became a widow at a young age after her husband died. Mother-in-law Naomi encouraged her to return to her parents' house. The dog is to make a fresh start. It was a reasonable recommendation. But Ruth was determined to follow her poor widow mother-in-law. It means that I will not part with anything other than death. Mother's country is my country, and Mother's God is my God. Ruth made the God of her mother her God.
Ruth saw the Spirit of God in her mother. He walked according to the Spirit of God and became the father of David. In the genealogy of Jesus in the Gospel of Matthew, Ruth's name appears. “… … .Boss begat Obed by Ruth, and Obed begat Jesse, and Jesse begot David the king. (Matthew 1:5-6)
See the scene of the coming of the Holy Spirit on the Jerusalem church. We gathered together in one place. There were only 120 members. They were just ordinary people. A rushing, strong wind came upon them. The Holy Spirit is the breath of God. The energy of God entered. After seeing tongues splitting like fire, they all received the filling of the Holy Spirit, their words and actions changed. I gained confidence and became bold. He had the belief that he could conquer the world.
The carp died and I asked the experts. The expert's advice is to keep carp and catfish together. As the saying goes, when I put the catfish in the tank, the carp did not die. It is said that it is the Spirit that gives life.
There is no condemnation for those who are in Jesus. Let us not condemn ourselves or others. The square in front of City Hall should not be a place where liberals and conservatives gather. Progress advances history and conservatives protect history. We must meet together. We owed ten thousand talents, but we were forgiven because we could not pay them back. Those who owe a hundred denarii must be forgiven.
Let's live by the law of life in Jesus. Deny the law of death. I hope that you will live in the grace of resurrecting the dead by the law of life. We are freed from the law of death. From now on there is only prosperity and greatness.
The Spirit of the Lord is in Jesus. The Spirit of God is courage, vitality, and heat. Let the Spirit of the Lord move you. Do not play with the spirit of death. If you bear the fruit of the Holy Spirit, it will bring glory to God and joy to us. Love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control (Galatians 5:22-23).
