Bible Reading: Rom. 6: 1 - 14
Topic: "Knowing This ...."
One evening, a young man
came out to his corridor for fresh air and as he sat there, a medium- sized
fowl passed with both legs tangled with discarded weave-on.
The fowl could hardly move
freely.
In sympathy, he caught the
fowl and removed the tangled weave-on that had begun to eat into the flesh of
the fowl and let it go.
However, the fowl did not
immediately move freely. It still walked as though it was under the bondage of
that torn weave-on.
The fowl did not know that
it had been set free, that was why its immediate movement did not reflect the
freedom it had been given.
So it is with some believers.
They live as those who are
not aware of the fact that they died to sin when Christ died, that their old
nature was buried when Christ was buried and that an entirely new person rose
again in them when Christ rose from the dead.
Therefore Paul states that
knowing this, we should reckon or account it so by faith and yield our bodies
unto righteousness.
That is the path of
victory over sin, the flesh and the world system.
It begins with
"knowing this.."
Prayer:
Lord, help me to have the
revealed and practical knowledge of the finished work of Christ, Amen
Memory verse: Rom. 6: 14
"For sin shall not
have dominion over you for ye are not under the law but under grace"
