THE DAILY BLUEPRINT FOR 11-20-06
NO CONFIDENCE
PHILLIPIANS 3:3
For we are the circumcision, which worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Jesus Christ,
and have no confidence in the flesh!
To circumcise is to cut away the old - to take off that which is no longer needed - this was done physically to signify if you where a Jew - but in the spiritual sense Jesus Christ has come to cut away us from our old way of life -with this new life -we are free from the bounds of sin -we are redeemed by His blood - we have access to God now - our old sin nature has been killed off - however it will try and come back to life - satan will lie to you and say its not gone -when in fact in Christ the old has passed away and all things have become new! With this new life -we no longer have confidence in our flesh- for all the flesh gains us is death -these bodies will die -and if we chose to live to them -we too will die - but Christ came to save us from the penalty of sin - He lived the perfect sinless life -and laid it all down for you and me! He came to save us from the old man - that is no dead! Before Christ we were dead - but when He came along and came into our lives - He brought us to life - the original life that was meant for man - sin took us from God - but Jesus brought us back - the flesh is what is left over -many only live in the flesh -acting as if this is all there is - they are dead and don't even know it - we are however alive in Christ forever -you see eternal life does not begin when you die -it has already begun for those that believe! JESUS CHRIST our LORD took the sting from death the penalty of our sins - that's something to be thankful for - the flesh will pass away - lets not put our confidence in it - but only in JESUS CHRIST!
amen!
A side note:What does it profit us to gain the whole world but lose our soul? The FLESH is dead - but the Spirit is alive and well! amen!
With CHRIST , we have hope that does not disappoint!
