and, having been set free from sin, have become slaves of righteousness.
Do you believe Jesus’ obedience has made you righteous?
His obedience made you righteous
Which slave do you want to become?
Slave of Adam or slave of the Lord Jesus Christ
Prison exchange
Once upon a time we were in prison of sin.
No matter how much we want to do right we cannot change of state as a sinner.
The good things we did, cannot change our status as a sinner.
We are bound in that prison of sin
The only way is to die to sin and be resurrected to the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus.
We are now the righteousness of God in Christ. We cannot undo it. We cannot undo this status.
There are people with more faith on what Adam did.
Romans 6:17 ASV
But thanks be to God, that you who were once slaves of sin have become obedient from the heart to the standard of teaching to which you were committed,
The grace teaching, once we believe, will form our lives.
Do you submit to what Adam did ? As a sinner nothing we did can make us not a sinner.
We are now in a different prison. We are in slave to righteousness. We are forever bound to the fact that we are righteous in Christ.
Believe in your heart. Listening under.
Are you listening to what great sin is ?
The more we talk about Jesus, and what Jesus did, we are glorifying Jesus
Your righteousness is in heaven.
