If the head is holy!
Contents
If the head is holy, the body is also holy. Those who are sanctified through their faith in the Lord have an eternal inheritance with Christ Jesus. For the head and body are not two, but one.
It is a lie to say that a gathering of unsanctified people is a church, and in reality it is a synagogue of Satan. The Bible says, “It is written, Be holy, because I am holy” (1 Peter 1:16), and the Lord Jesus said, “And for their sake I sanctify myself, that they too may be sanctified by the truth.” (John 17:19) He said.
Therefore, concerning the church, which is the body of Christ, the Bible testifies, "He set before him a glorious church, without speck or wrinkle or such, holy and without blemish" (Ephesians 5:27).
The life of the old man who was born through the flesh and the life of the body of the new man who was born again through the Spirit are completely different. The body of the old man who was born of the flesh is for fornication, and the body of the new man who is spiritual who was born again by the Spirit is for the Lord.
The Bible says about this, “Food is for the stomach and the stomach is for food, but God will do away with this and that. He will raise us up again by His power” (1 Corinthians 6:13-14).
Therefore, the body that is only for the Lord is a member of Christ. A body dedicated to fornication cannot inherit the kingdom of God. It is written, “Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived, neither the sexually immoral, nor the idolater, nor the adulterer, nor the swindler, nor the sexually explicit, nor the thief, nor the greedy, nor the drunkard, nor the reviler, Extortioners will not inherit the kingdom of God” (1 Corinthians 6:9-10).
Therefore, the right to become children of God does not come from blood, the will of the flesh, or the will of man, but only those who are born of God. The life of those who are born of God is another new life.
The life of the new life is clearly different from the life of the old life. The new life says, “Therefore, beloved, let us, who have this promise, cleanse ourselves from every defilement of body and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God” (2 Corinthians 7:1).
Therefore, holy brothers and sisters who are called together from heaven walk not after the flesh but after the Spirit. If we walk according to the Spirit, we will surely achieve a holy life. It is written, “Those who are after the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, and those who follow the Spirit set their minds on the things of the Spirit. The mind set on the flesh is death, but the mind set on the Spirit is life and peace. Not only do we not yield to God, we cannot do it, for those who are in the flesh cannot please God” (Romans 8:5-8).
God did not create human beings on the earth so that they might live according to the flesh, but so that the flesh and its passions and desires died with Christ Jesus and rose again in a spiritual body so that we could live as one body with Christ, a husband.
That is why the Bible says from the foundation of the world, “For this reason a man leaves his father and mother and is united to his wife, and the two become one flesh” (Genesis 2:24). and the two shall become one flesh, and this is a great mystery, I speak of Christ and of the church” (Ephesians 5:31-32).
Praise be to God our Father, who has sent us another Counselor, the Spirit of truth, in the name of his Son to make this mystery known, and we give thanks to the Spirit of truth who is working to perfect the image of Christ in the body of the Lord, the Church.
Therefore, the Lord said, “You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free” (John 8:32). Amen, thank you Lord.
