Romans 8:6 For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.
Dear all of you who ponder the Word. I'm going straight to the point.
Are we alive or are we dead Christians? What does the scripture say. Now, I've just mentioned a few scriptures. Are we alive or are we dead? We are dead to sin, right? Rom 6:11-13 So what does alive mean in that context? Are we alive or are we dead? 2 Cor 3:6 Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life. So in plain text it must be that in sin there is death. And in the Spirit there is life. So what are we dead or alive? In Ezekiel 37 it says about the dead bones. Which God made alive. Quite interesting, as we ask ourselves today whether we are alive or dead. When we know that the Spirit that lives in us is alive forever. Of course we will be too. So our living spirits today will never die. So are we alive or are we dead? We live for all time. So what happens then, when Jesus comes back. We are not dead! We live no matter if we have been dead in the body we carried for 100/1000 years, we are still alive with Him when He comes. In the Spirit.
What that means, I won't say more, but each reader must judge for themselves. What happens then?
It was to born again Christian's that Paul spoke to in Corinth when he said " ye are yet carnal" . Still in need of being taught the very basics ( the milk) of the Word when they should be now teachers of them .The church has over time reduced the gospel to being but BORN again and has built a lot of confusion upon it by trying to make all s ruptures conform to it .
To be BORN again is simply getting out of Egypt . From the bondage of the world and dominion of its "Pharoah '.
How ? By the blood of a lamb the Word of God ( to Abraham) and the Power of God over Egypt .
But to be born even into this world is not the end but just the beginning .
A baby comes out of the darkness of theur mothers womb and into the light of this world . First by the breaking of the waters then the show of blood then the new life . So likewise the spiritual rebirth of those who were in darkness and dead in trespasses and in sin . First by the breaking of the Word to the understanding . That leads to the blood and Gods all sufficient sacrifice for Sin . Then the new life . A new born bay y has life but it needs the continual filling of the breath of life to live that life n earth .
So likewise spiritually we are BORN again and now have life. But to live that life we ust be continually filled with the Holy Spirit .
We are by faith in Jesus Christ counted righteous. The HolySpirit imparts the righteousness of Christ and by degree as we grow in grace and in the knowledge of God do works of righteousness " preordained from before the foundations of the world ".
1John " Little children yiur sins are forgiven and you know the father "
You young men the Word of God dwelleth in you richly and you have overcome the wicked one"
Ye fathers you know Him who is from the beginning "
Little children can be deceived thry know what they want but rarely what they need .
You cannot become young men capable of overcoming the wicked one by just consuming milk .
