LIMITING THE POWER OF REDEMPTION

 

LIMITING THE POWER OF REDEMPTION

1Corinthians 6:19-20 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's. [Also note 7:23; Act_20:28; Gal_3:13; Heb_9:12; 1Pe_1:18; 2Pe_2:1; Rev_5:9]

  I awoke at 3.53am thinking about today’s topic: How we can limit the power of Christ’s redemption. How so?

  First understand that frequenting a brothel or some such obvious sinning need not be involved. (As Paul and other of God’s penmen did, he was addressing a current local problem. Note James 1:22)

  What I’ve noticed in my 61+ years as Christ’ disciple is the confining individuals’ life-view to deliverance from condemnation to heaven. (Jn.3:16-18)

  In doing so individuals seriously curtail their Romans 12:1-2 authentic worship pleasing to God, and consequently missing the blessings of maturation. Heaven-bound, but baby Christians.
