The Standard By Which We Will Be Judged

Colossians 1:20-23 KJV

And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven. And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled In the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight: If ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel, which ye have heard, and which was preached to every creature which is under heaven; whereof I Paul am made a minister;


Reconciled, blameless, holy "if you continue in the faith"

AMEN!

How was Yeshua able to offer himself without spot unto God? The answer is not because he was walking around as God himself. What example would that be to us mortals? He did it like this:

14How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God? Heb. 9:14

Through the eternal spirit! Being filled with the Holy Spirit!

Same thing is available for us!

12Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh. 13For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live. Romans 8:13

Yes the Spirit the Christian receives is the same one that was in Christ. The ALMIGHTY SPIRIT OF ADONAI ELOHIM gives abundant power to overcome sin that we too may offer ourselves without spot unto him!

So we have the power within to walk pleasing to Yeshua. But WE must also exercise faith. The children of light must by faith mortify the deeds of the body. This means we believe that we are dead to sin and alive to God when temptation knocks on our door.

Paul said if we do this we shall live. He obviously means "in eternity". If we allow the flesh to rule us we will die. Again this is speaking of "eternal death" not just the death of all men.

Yeshua is calling us all to be overcomers! How many will hear what the Spirit is saying to the Churches?

One of satans wiles is to bewitch the children of light to think they need not be free from sin to enter Heavens gates. Altho overcoming sin is not all there is to the Christian life it certainly is very important.

Most Pentecostal groups now espouse Evangelical teachings, one will never in this life overcome sin. This is very deadly thinking.

Christ Jesus will not marry a bride with sin in her life.

25Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; 26That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, 27That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish. Ephesians 5:25-27

Amen to all of the post above bro...

If I may add a little here. We are assigned to walk in the Spirit to keep out from under the Law which shall judge the unsaved. If we are walking in the Spirit, our former judge, the Law, cannot condemn us.....

Romans 8
8 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.

3 For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:

4 That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

You really didn't answer this post.

Right, in the flesh can mean under the law.

Amen, the 2 go hand in hand.

I'd say that if it took you an hour to repent, you might still be lost :Lola
This seems to encourage an extremely literal view of 'lost' and 'saved' to me.

Any Christian who has no sin in their life is perfect toward God. Any believer who has sin in their life is not perfect before him.

Hebrews 10:14 KJV

For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified.
