'For if we have been united with him in a death like his, we will certainly also be united with him in a resurrection like his. For we know that our old self was crucified with him so that the body ruled by sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves to sin "Do not offer any part of yourself to sin as an instrument of wickedness but rather offer yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life; and offer every part of yourself to him as an instrument of righteousness. (Romans 6:5-6,13 NIV)
The Payment Has Already been Paid
God's love for us moved Him to take action. "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. (John 3:16-17 KJV) It took Jesus being Crucified on the Cross to redeem humanity. That was His mission. God provided us a way Jesus John 14:6. If you put your faith and trust in Jesus' finished work on the Cross and become Born-again Divine judgement is removed John 3:16.
We Must be Born Again Jesus is The Only Way
Jesus said, "...Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. "..Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. (John 3:3,5,6 KJV) Flesh has no relationship with Spirit. 'God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth. (John 4:24 NIV) Jesus said "... I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. (John 14:6K JV) The rebirth comes by putting our faith in Jesus. If you are not Born-again you cannot understand or comprehend the Kingdom of God. Flesh is born through the natural birth; Spiritual birth is brought about by God's Holy Spirit. "And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies because of his Spirit who lives in you. (Romans 8:11 NIV) Receive God's Grace.' 'For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast. (Ephesians ;8-9 NIV) Believe the Word of the Lord Who said, "..‘Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit,’ says the LORD Almighty. (Zechariah 4:6) We no longer have to be a slave to sin. For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. (Romans 6:23 NIV)
Satan Can Not Force You Back into that Old Life
If '..We are those who have died to sin; how can we live in it any longer? Or don’t you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life. (Romans 6:2-4 NIV) "Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit who gives life has set you free from the law of sin and death. (Romans 8:1-2 NIV) We as Born-again believers can now freely offer every part of ourselves as righteous instruments to God Who brought us from death to life through His Son Jesus Christ John 3:16-17, Romans 6:13. Satan cannot force us back into that old life when we walk in the newness of life.
Answer God's Call While You Still Have Breath
There's no calling on God from the grave. Jesus said, "Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with that person, and they with me. (Revelation 3:20 NIV)"And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely. (Revelation 22:17 KJV) '
Praise God
Praise God from Whom all blessings flow. Put it all in His hands. Have a blessed stress-free worry-free day on purpose and never stop believing Jesus paid it all. "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. Jesus said, "... I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. (John 3:16-17, 14:6 KJV)
