Carrying What We Do Not Need To Be Carrying! Part 2
Carrying What We Do Not Need to Carry: Perry Stone, Jr.
Can you imagine never having known the impact of sin and never having experienced a sinful nature, then suddenly having the weight of the iniquity of the entire world fall upon you? The mental anguish must have been almost unbearable. Yet, Christ bore the sins of the world that we might be free from bearing our sins. We need not carry the sin that Christ carried if we accept the forgiveness and cleansing provided in His sufferings.
"Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot." 1 Peter 1:18-19
When the sinner approaches God for forgiveness of sins, the precious blood of Christ cleanses the spirit and soul from all sin. 1 John 1:9.
The venom of the serpent.
As humans we are all subject to the bite of the serpent, satan. We have no protection against him without Jesus Christ. As Christ bore the sins of the world, He experienced a bite from the serpent. Christ's blood built up immunities to the serpents bite and when we are bound by sin receive a fresh application of His blood, the life of Christ enters our spirit thus making the deadly bite of the enemy null and void. By faith, we receive a spiritual blood transfusion and the law of sin and death is broken as the law of the Spirit of life in Christ is released Iain our spirit and our mortal bodies.
"For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death." Romans 8:2
Most Christians fully understand this great plan of salvation and redemption. Yet, according to Isaiah, there are other benefits to be derived from the sufferings of Christ. The two areas Isaiah spoke of deal with emotional and physical well being. More on that tomorrow.
Dear Heavenly Father, thank you for who You are. Thank you for Your tender love and mercies. Please help us to see ourselves as You see us. It is in Your name that we pray. Amen.
