Title: Those Who Carried the Death of Jesus
Contents
Those who bear in the body the death of Jesus are those of Christ Jesus. This is because they are the people who have revealed the arm of God that unites the Holy Spirit.
Faith comes by hearing, and hearing comes by the word of God. Therefore, the arms of God will be revealed to those who have heard and believed the gospel of the kingdom spoken by the Son. Therefore, Christ worked as God's feet to lead us to God, and the Holy Spirit works as God's arm, who embraces us and sometimes disciplines us.
Therefore, the Bible says in advance, “Who has believed our report, and to whom has the arm of God been revealed?” (Isaiah 53:1) and “bring good tidings, proclaim peace, bring good news, proclaim salvation. And he said to Zion, “How beautiful are the feet of those who say, Your God reigns!” (Isaiah 52:7).
The law of the flesh, that is, the law of sin and death, is 1+1=2, but the law of the spirit, that is, the law of the Spirit of life, is 1+1=1. Therefore, man's thoughts are different from God's thoughts. Those who claim to believe with the human mind can never become one with Christ. Only the mind of God, the perfect faith to believe according to the Spirit of God, can become one with Christ Jesus.
Therefore, the Bible speaks of “the unity of the Holy Spirit” and also says, “They shall become one flesh, and this is a great mystery, I speak of Christ and of the church.” When we become one body, death is also one.
Therefore, the cross is not two, but one. That is why the word of truth testifies, “We always carry in our body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body” (2 Corinthians 4:10).
The life of Jesus is revealed only to those who carry in their bodies the death of Jesus. Unless Jesus died, my death is not true. This is because the death of Jesus is the end of the law and the end of sin.
The death of Jesus is the yoke of Jesus. Therefore, he himself said, "Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest" (Matthew 11:29).
Because unless Jesus died, there is no life for Jesus. It is written, “We know that our old self was crucified with Jesus so that the body of sin might be put to nothing, that we should no longer be enslaved to sin, because the dead have been set free from sin” (Romans 6:6-7) and also “Therefore, we were buried with him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we also to do it” (Romans 6:4).
Therefore, the Bible clearly says, “Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires” (Galatians 5:24). “With the flesh” above means “with Jesus”. Because he died in the flesh. Regarding this, the Bible also says, “He abolished in his flesh the enmity, that is, the ceremonial law of commandments, so that from the two he made in himself one new man, and made peace” (Ephesians 2:15). By this the Spirit knows, that every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God” (1 John 4:2).
If Jesus was not of David's blood, or flesh, his death would be a lie. Therefore, he is the Son of Man, the Son of Man. It is written, “As for this Son, who was born of the blood of David according to the flesh, and was declared the Son of God with power according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead, our Lord Jesus Christ” (Romans 1:3-4). Same thing.
Therefore, concerning those who carried in the body the death of Jesus, the Bible says, "...we were buried with him through baptism into death, so that we And that you may walk in a new life” (Romans 6:4), and again, “In which you were buried with Christ in baptism, and were also raised together in him through faith in the work of God who raised him from the dead. ” (Colossians 2:12).
Therefore, those who now carry in their bodies the death of Jesus have the same testimony: “Let no one trouble me from this time on, for I have in my body the marks of Jesus” (Galatians 6:17)
Thank you Lord.
