HELPLESSLY DEAD...MADE ALIVE BY GOD

Romans 5:6 "When we were utterly helpless, Christ came at just the right time and died for us sinners."

Ephesians 2:4-5 "But God is so rich in mercy, and he loved us so much, that even though we were dead because of our sins, he gave us life when he raised Christ from the dead. (It is only by God’s grace that you have been saved!)"

It is utter folly to think that human beings can live strong, whole and complete lives without the Presence, Life and Power of God.

Unless God, Himself, becomes Life within us, unless He is life within us by the indwelling power of the Holy Spirit then real life, full humanity is an impossibility.

Spiritually dead people have no more ability to change their condition on their own than a corpse has the capacity to become enlivened by the exertion of its own power. It has no power, no life in it to do anything. Even decomposition is not due to its action. What is dead cannot change its circumstance.

The salvation of a even single life is of God, by God, in God and through God alone. He alone has conquered death. He alone has destroyed the power of sin to separate us eternally from Him. He alone gives forgiveness as the fruit born of repentance and faith, both His gifts to all who will believe what He has finished in Jesus Christ.

Your "strength" is not needed to receive God's strength of new and eternal life. You have no strength to rescue yourself. He alone can do this, and He is waiting for you to surrender to Him the whole of your life. He has no desire to, nor will He only raise part of you from spiritual death while the rest continues to decompose beyond true humanness as it rots away enthralled by the world.

Surrender all of you, for your eyes have never seen, nor have your ears ever heard of the things God has prepared for those who love Him. These incredible things are only revealed by the Life of God within a person by the Power of the Holy Spirit. There is so much more in being fully alive!

It was when we were dead in our sin, powerless and helpless, that Christ Jesus died for our sin so that we might live in Him, through Him and by Him. BELIEVE HIM! BE FORGIVEN! LIVE!

 HE IS RISEN! IT IS FINISHED! After the Israelites had passed through the Red Sea by God opening the way for them to be saved, the whole of Pharoah's army, his horsemen and chariots pursued God's people into the opened way. Once they were all in, the waters flowed back into their place with suddenness and fury. Not one of the enemies survived. All perished in those waters. When Jesus Christ hung on the cross, all that sin contained, the full measure of the rebellion of mankind for all time, all the wickedness that was ever in human hearts were absorbed into the Lamb of God as He died our death, received our just judgement from God for all time, taking all that sin and death contained. In Him, sin and death died once and for all. They were overwhelmed, covered and drowned in the sea of His precious blood, poured out for the sin of the whole world. Not one enemy remained alive, all were stripped of their power to hold us in slavery to sin any longer. All their weapons were confis...

WHAT DO YOU BLESS? It would be an act of utter folly and disaster were I to choose to "bless" what God will not bless. God's wrath is set against anything and anyone that would try and hinder you becoming all He created you to be and to grow in by being united to Him through the sacrifice and resurrection of Jesus Christ. There is nothing arbitrary about the Word of God. He is very specific on what will make for life and what will not. Human life only becomes human life when the Holy Spirit becomes Life withing a believer. Being united to the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, the follower of Jesus becomes a new creation and begins to live Life as God intended. God begins the good work, and He is the One who will bring it to competition. Somethings will NEVER make for life. What God calls sin, missing the mark of what will make for life, is always sin regardless of what culture anywhere and anytime say to the contrary. Sin cannot save, heal, redeem, restore or remake...

 CONVICTION When the Holy Spirit convicts us of sin, He doesn't ask us to make it right. We can never add to what Jesus Christ has already done on the cross to deal with the totality of our sin. The Holy Spirit asks us to accept the truth, turn from sin and turn to the Lord. Then He will make it right. Remember Who our faith depends on from start to finish, that salvation is of the Lord alone. Laying aside every hindering weight and the sin that so easily trips us up (different for everyone), we are to run the race He has given us to run with perseverance, fixing our eyes on Jesus. He is the One upon Whom our faith depends on from start to finish. He will never run out of eyesight any more that a good shepherd would go ahead of the sheep he was leading where they couldn't see to follow. Hebrews 12:1-2 "Surrounded then as we are by a great cloud of witness to the life of faith, let us strip off everything that hinders us, as well as the sin which dogs our feet, and let us r...
