Bible Question: Right now I'am so confused on the spritual warfare ordeal I need to know is it nesserarey fo our flesh to go through delveranc. is it the true the saying of I am already delvered |
Bible Answer: It is NOT necessary for your flesh to go through deliverence! It's our old carnal nature that causes us so much trouble. We are to consider it dead and the old man crucified with Christ. Gal 3:3 Are you so foolish? Having begun by the Spirit, are you now being perfected by the flesh? What is necessary is for one to have placed his faith for salvation in Jesus Christ. Our ordeals are the means which God uses to strenghten us. If you are in Christ you have been delivered from the world and into the kingdom of God. You are not free from trials (at times very severe trials) but you have been freed to struggle against sin and temptation. Some promises: Rom 8:28 And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose. Eph 2:10 For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them. Heb 12:2 fixing our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. We must fix our eyes on Christ and praise Him for what He has done on our behalf. |
