Sinful men are lawbreakers.
1 John 3:4... Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.
Christians are not lawbreakers. What is the Law of God that Christians obey today present tense? The Law of the Spirit.
Rom 8:22... For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.
Christians are pardoned from the penalty of sin through trust alone in the shed blood of Christ for personal forgiveness. Simply put, "God's pardon allows Christians to mind the Spirit of God by faith and obedience to Christ". This is why God teaches believers to walk in the Spirit and not in the flesh.
Gal 5:16...Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.
If Christian's were violators against the Law of God they would also be criminal in the eyes of God. Criminals are convicts! Christians are converts!
Are you a convict or a convert in the eyes of God? Have you been freed from all criminal activity and conduct in the eyes of God? Has the Spirit of God given you power to overcome breaking God's Divine Law? Lawbreakers and violators of Divine Law are without this power I speak of. What is this power that converts a criminal in the eyes of God?
It's the power of a resurrected Christ received by faith! To as many as receive Him to them gave He power...
John 1:12...but as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God
1 Peter 1:4-5...for you, who are kept by the power of God through faith
Holy men do right! Holy men have power to do right! Holy men do not desire to do wrong! Holy men are conscious to this Christ I speak of. You can live with a consciousness to Christ's power and presence in your life every day of your existence. Holy men are not lawbreakers like the world tells you! Holy men are not criminal in the eyes of God! That's a deception! Holy men do not violate God's law! Why? Holy men have power and strength given from Christ.
Acts 1:8...ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you:
Has the Holy Ghost come upon you? Glory! Is He that's in you greater than he that's in the world? Are you an overcomer? Are you tossing with lawlessness and rebellion? I'm here to tell you and show you that with Christ there is a better way and a better life than being tossed to and fro. Recognize Christ's power and presence in your life...daily. He gives the victory. He gives the pardon! He converts the soul! He gives power to the weak! He keeps us steady! He is our anchor of hope. He converts sinful men and makes them converts! When the conversion is made the world will see it and you will testify to it! Then it won't be just Rick Roehm saying it, "It will be you".
