Breaking the chains of sin

In the torment of a person's yesteryear they were living life as though there was no tomorrow, and without fear in their hearts. In complete denial of any type of righteousness that would come their way, time and time again. No regard for no one, but themselves in self righteous indignation. No remorse for their errors, or their sins; whether they knew or not they were still guilty of being a dreadful sinner. Each one of them knows exactly what they did, the way they behaved, the way they pushed their loved ones away; because they were right and everyone else was wrong. Being so full of lies, filth, malicious acts, and the list goes on and on; they know what they are doing, or rather what they’re capable of doing. Only to satisfy the evil desires that lingered within their flesh, and this was, and is being done on a daily basis; with no regard, nor remorse, and maybe a bit of somewhat guilt; that does run in everyone’s mind. Which is a leverage of breaking the chains of sin forevermore, in the precept of what we are entitled of, and that is, the generous invitation of salvation by the one who truly cares for us, our Father!

There is only one remote possibility of a chance that anyone that is a dreadful sinner might have; if we seek for it the righteous way. As our Lord Jesus Christ put so plain for all see and understand: when he was at the end of his sermon on the mount, (Ma.7:7)Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. How plain and clear he gave the path to those who wish to break the chains of sin. I for one, not to brag, did eventually got fed up and tired of the disgusting life I was living; for many lost and wasted years.

As the passage says “ask“, ask who, we ask God of course, and maybe he will hear your cry. What exactly do we ask for: to be free from the bonds of satan, and the nightmare that we once lived, and to be free from the guilt that has us in a gut trenching way of disgust. “Seek“, seek for what, we therefore seek God’s holy salvation, for God’s love and mercy: to become a part of His holy Son. We seek to be sanctified by His Son; who is the only one who can justify and cleans the filth: that has kept us separated from our Father. “Knock”, knock where, for who do we expect to find behind the door, and the door that Jesus explained was and is he; as he explains it to the multitudes during his ministry (Jo.10:7)Most assuredly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep. He also explains it to the Apostle John in the book of Revelations (Rev.3:20)Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with me. Presuming that the feast is the bread of life; which is also known as the word of God, and in fact is our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

Now that we have that clear to its true essence: meaning that we now should have an understanding of how we can break the chains of sin: which would only be through him [Jesus Christ], and uphold his name very sternly. So, lets study on to know more of what we need to know about the chains of sin, and just how we can have God accept and approve us to His glory. To begin, we need not to be ignorant that we being in human form [living in the flesh], we are still here where we are at; in the weakness of our flesh: down right sinners. At any given time I, you, we can fail, falter, and fall right back to this dreadful world and its enticements. Only if we are not practicing what we are supposed to be practicing, and that is living by God’s will and not our own; because our flesh is weak, but our spirit is willing. Our Lord Jesus Christ made this known to the Apostle Peter; when he and his Apostles went to the place called Gethsemane to pray, and he would find them asleep (Mk.14:38)Watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.

Well, according to the word of God we have been under rule of our own law of nature from the very beginning, and this explained by the Apostle Paul to the Romans(Ro.2:14,15)for when the Gentiles, who do not have the law, by nature do the things in the law, these, although not having the law, are a law to themselves, who show the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and between themselves their thoughts accusing or excusing them. Unfortunately, as we know it, it was all bad and did not work to no ones advantage, but satan. That is why we have been searching for the freedom that our Savior has been offering to everyone. Well, in any case the Apostle Paul gives a wonderful explanation pertaining to this lawless law of nature of the flesh that is weak (Ro.8:3-13).

This is very important information that everyone needs to keep with them always, and I mean from the very beginning of our salvation to the end of either final rest, or when we are delivered to eternal life; and this is living in accordance to the will of God; that will enable us to be granted eternal life. The important thing to keep in mind is that we have one man who came down for this entire world to carry the sins and put them to death in his flesh. The death of Jesus Christ who was crucified on the miserable cross, for the benefit of everyone. Sin was condemned in the flesh by Jesus, and if we have accepted Jesus we should no longer live for the flesh but live in the Spirit and sin no more, for the chance of eternal life. Once this is done we have broken the chains of sin through and for our Savior Jesus Christ for the glory of God: if we walk in the Spirit and not in the flesh. We then need to read the word of God and put into practice what we read; and our reliance is in God through prayer and complete obedience of God’s will which is all in righteousness and holiness.

Now, if we continue to do what we wish to do; which is in contradiction to the will of God; what do we think we deserve from God? We need to be very careful just how we live our lives! We do not own ourselves anymore, so then why do we still do the things that we do? Who do we think we are to be testing our Father in such ways? Are we greater than God? God forbid! It does not matter what you think you are doing if you assume that its okay; when in fact its not. I am talking to me, to you, to everyone on this matter, as this is a very important situation. Do we really think that we can save ourselves for that matter? No we can not! When there is a conflict of doubtful disputation among ourselves, this needs to stop! If any one is in a negative confrontation over the matter of righteousness, this needs to stop! If anyone goes against those who God has put to serve you and protect your salvation, stop! (Heb.13:17,18)Obey those who rule over you, and be submissive, for they watch out for your souls, as those who must give account. Let them do so with joy and not with grief, for that would be unprofitable for you. Pray for us; for we are confident that we have a good conscience, in all things desiring to live honorably.

We must be really ignorant to even assume that we have gotten away with some stupid and absurd mistake, error, sin. We need to always be aware that everything is wide open to our Father and there is nothing hidden from him. Another thing that we need to keep in mind is the fact that every time we sin it is not forgotten, therefore written in the book of judgment; but if we confess all of our sins to our Father who is just and faithful to forgive us all unrighteousness; he will pardon us (1Jo.1:9). Then everything gets erased and our name gets put back on the book of life, but we must not take advantage of this for any reason at all. The underline statement is that if we commit any sin we have fallen from God’s holy realm, and have stepped out of his kingdom. The longer we go from confessing our sins, is the longer we go without God’s forgiveness, and we are pressed for time; because we don’t know what is the actual time to our Father. He at any given time shall say this it, and time is up; the Apostle Peter wrote of this in his second Epistle to all Christians in general (2Pe.3:8-11).

Let me ask you this, do you think that you are able to withstand being corrected or rebuked for your errors and sins? Even if you think they are not as bad as you think they are. Well, to our Father anything that is a contradiction to His will is a sin; because we are then guilty of breaking His law, and therefore we are still sinning against Him(1Jo.3:4-10). Do we really want to be guilty of breaking any of His commandments; which is the will of God. We need to always remember that we have so much to consider in the way we live life before God and the rest of the people that surround us on a daily basis. The bottom line is, if we are still sinning we have not really grasped what is true and what is right, and therefore we are deceiving ourselves and making an open shame of our Lord Jesus Christ. Also, with this being known we therefore give people the opportunity to blame the religion of God and become a major stumbling rock for those around us (2Co.6:3)We give no offense in anything, that our ministry may not be blamed.

If we have truly broken the chains of sin lets really live up to what is expected of us no matter what! Yeah, we will be evil spoken of, but who cares, and there will be obstacles in the way, how else are we to grow is spirit and in faith. We must not allow nothing to interfere with our relationship with God. Lets live up to God’s highest expectations that He so deserves, honorably, and to His glory. Lets allow the Spiritual guidance of the Holy Spirit continue earnestly and righteously with us, for us, and in us (Ep.4:22-24)that you put off, concerning your former conduct, the old man which grows corrupt according to deceitful lusts, and be renewed in the spirit of your mind, and that you put on the new man which was created according to God, in true righteousness and holiness. Lets give it a rest and remain true and faithful to God. Its really not a lot to ask for; if we were able to do things of our past so easily why should living up to God’s standards be so hard for us. As the word of God teaches us; that it is the new process that we are striving for, only we have to relinquish old ways to start the new; in order for the true affect of spiritualism to commence without further a due. We do not know how long we have here in this miserable world, so, we need to live it with all purity in respect of our Father and our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. If they have done all this for us we need to be as they and live as they; not allowing the weakness of our flesh take the better of us, but allowing what spirituality that has grown thus far to grow even more to the glory of God.
