The Remedy

[brakelite]

So many Christians today hide from God. Yes, they deliberately avoid God, or refuse to allow Him access into their lives. "When God looks at me" they say, "He doesn't see me, He just sees the blood of Jesus which covers me". They then go about their daily lives having a form of godliness but denying its power.

This is like a man with a broken neck refusing to see the doctor. Or one with an infection on the lung and refusing antibiotics. 

Our problem with God is not a Behavioural problem, nor is it a legal one. Pardon or justification alone does not change us from sinners to saints. We are rebels not because the law says so; we are rebels because our minds and hearts are corrupted. Obeying the law doesn't deal with our corrupt minds, nor does doing away with the law. Hiding behind the "blood of Jesus" is legalism, in that that person is afraid of the punishment due his sin...afraid God is going to judge him and condemn him to death. But what God wants to do is heal him. Remove the corrupt thinking and the sin problem goes away....therefore there is no condemnation for those in Christ Jesus. Not because they have been forgiven, but as you may read in the verses following Romans 8:1, the carnal fleshly sinful MIND (note, not the behavior or the legal status) has been changed to a spiritual mind.

The only cure for sin is to allow the Great Physician to heal us. To renew our minds and hearts and conform them after the image of Christ. Surrender yourselves to God today...allow Him free and open access into your every secret closet...let Him renew and work in you according to His good pleasure.....

Yes.

It's called repentance.   (simply)

It's not permitted to call people to repentance on internet forums.

It's against too many rules - and might offend someone.

It's not even permitted , well, to show the need for repentance -

They may hide from God but as Christians they have received the new birth and have the Spirit of God living in them and therefore such hiding is futile

Do they have the Spirit in them? Without fruit how would you know?

It may be against mans rules..............but my GOD is not man.  THE PEOPLE WILL BE WARNED till the last breath leaves this body.

JEFF blow the trumpet and keep on warning as you have been.   I have no intention of slowing down either.  only increasing and so much the more as the days go by.

I have tried to understand the message focusing on the title of your post, :"remedy". 

It seems that you understand that we are justified in the name of JESUS CHRIST, and the life we live we live it as being justified in his name, and without the fear of death. 

I understand that you are addressing as to how we should live our lives. 

It seems that at the same time you forget, that JESUS CHRIST, justifies sinners, while been sinners we believe, and are justified. 

This is the peace of the Gospel, for Heaven we look to JESUS CHRIST righteousness. JESUS CHRIST is our peace with God. 

I don't understand your complaint about those who have understandood, this Heavenly Truth. 

Why does it matter to you how they live their lives. 

If they live their lives in away you do not approve, you do not need to follow them and do the same thing. 

If you have understand how to live your life, in a different way, even have learned to distance yourself from some behavior and habits, and some ways you have considered not approve by JESUS CHRIST, and you are pursuing and looking forward to a different way of conducting your life, this is commentable, and you are understand the benefit of it. 

To put it in another way out have decided to live for JESUS CHRIST and not the world. 

Or in other words more for JESUS CHRIST and less for the world, and according to ones understanding . 

If your message in this post is to give hope to those who are under the banner of Jesus Christ Grace, and who want to look forwards to a different way of living, this is commentable, if it done without judging their right standing in Jesus Christ name, because of their faith in him. 

If we look in the parable of the Father with two sons, we may see that there is a problem with the goodly son. 

And if we also look in the other parable, in which the master paid the same wages, to the ones who worked a full sift all day, as the ones who worked lesser hours, you will see that the problem in both parables and the protest and disapproval comes from those who have offered a lot. So to put it. 

So we must be watchful to see how they will express their disapproval, the the taste of bitterness in their complaints.
