*_THE BLESSEDNESS OF BEING A BELIEVER IN CHRIST JESUS!!!_*
Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth.
Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.
— Romans 8:33-34.
The greatest blessing on earth is to be a believer in Christ Jesus! I am not talking of bearing a Christian’s name or being a church goer. I am talking of someone who repented of his or her sins, believing and accepting Jesus Christ as his or her personal Lord and Saviour, who by that reason of believing and acceptance has been translated from the kingdom of darkness into the kingdom of our Lord Jesus Christ(Col.1:13). A believer who is no longer living in sin or enjoy and give excuses for sinning, he or she is the one that is most blessed on earth. Even the devil can not lay charges against you as seen in our text above.
It is the most blessed challenge! "Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect?" How unanswerable it is! Every sin of the elect was laid upon the great Champion of our salvation, and by the atonement they were carried away. There is no sin in God’s book against His people: He sees no sin in Jacob, neither iniquity in Israel; they are justified in Christ forever. When the guilt of sin was taken away, the punishment of sin was removed.
For the Christian there is no stroke from God’s angry hand—no, not so much as a single frown of punitive justice. The believer may be chastised by His Father, but God the Judge has nothing to say to the Christian, except “I have absolved thee: thou art acquitted.” For the Christian there is no penal death in this world, much less any second death. He is completely freed from all the punishment as well as the guilt of sin, and the power of sin is removed too. It may stand in our way, and agitate us with perpetual warfare; but sin is a conquered foe to every soul in union with Jesus.
There is no sin which a Christian cannot overcome if he will only rely upon his God to do it. They who wear the white robe in heaven overcame through the blood of the Lamb, and we can do the same. No lust is too mighty, no besetting sin too strongly entrenched; we can overcome through the power of Christ.
Do believe it, Believer in ChristJesus, that you sin is a condemned thing. It may kick and struggle, but it is doomed and dead at the cross. God has written condemnation across its brow. Christ has crucified it, “nailing it to his cross.” Go now and mortify it, and the Lord help you to live to His praise, for sin with all its guilt, shame, and fear, is gone.
It is the greatest blow on the devil when he instigated the crucifixion of the Lord of glory. By the cross, we are acquitted and the devil has no charge against. The cross is the regret of the devil even till eternity as it is written in 1Cor.2:8;
"Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory."(KJV)
"None of the rulers of this age or world perceived and recognized and understood this, for if they had, they would never have crucified the Lord of glory."(AMP).
"None of the rulers of this world knew this wisdom. If they had known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory."(GNB)
Beloved believer in Christ! The devil did not know that the cross was a divine strategy to reaped him of the power handed over to him by the reason of sin Halleluiah!!!
Oh the blessedness of being a believer in Christ Jesus! May the Lord grant us grace to maximize this privilege and this blessedness in Jesus' Name!.
Have a wonderful and a blessed day!
God bless us all.
