Reader,
1.) Becomimg a Christian......releases you from the eternal penalty of sin, because Jesus has paid for all your sin, with His blood and death sacrifice.
But that is not all that frees you from the penalty of Sin.
Jesus has to deal with Moses Law and the 10 Commandments.......so, because He lived a sinless life, He fulfilled the Law, for us......and in doing this......the entire Law no longer has any dominion or power to define a CHRISTian , as a sinner.
The born again are here.......>>>"not under the LAW, but Under GRACE". = "where there is no LAW there is no Transgression (sin) found)."
2.) Does this mean that you will never want what is wrong for you to have, that your conscience tells you is wrong?
NO.
But because we are "made free" from the Law, .. God's Grace will empower you to not just turn from carnality, but to have new desires in their place.
So, What is the KEY that we are to do........so that carnality has no way to put us into bondage to works of the Flesh?
A.) We are to recognize that we are become and always remain......"Made RIGHTEOUS"........based on Christ's finished work on THE Cross.
This is the "renewed mind"....and it will disagree with the old mind.....as the natural mind... the carnal mind. the "mind of the Flesh".....does not want to accept that we are "made righteous"..........but its TRUE..........and as we spiritually and theologically grow to believe this, completely, then "sin consciousness"......grows weaker and weaker, as we learn to only see ourselves as "made righteous">. as "the Righteousess of God, in Christ"
3.) Reader, Let me give you another spiritual deliverence KEY.
When you try to not do what you know is wrong..........when you are trying to even avoid thinking about it.......this causes your flesh, to empower you to want it more and to think about it more..
Now, that is the wrong way to try to end your carnal passions that flair up and demand your mental focus.
So, to make that stop.......you have to take the "Helmet of Salvation" and put it on.
That mean you have to turn your thinking to the Eternal REALITY that you are always """"made righteous"""" by Jesus's Sacrifice......no matter what.
You are always "The Righteousness of God, In Christ" because GOD has given you "The Gift of Righteousness".
This is what it means to "bring every thought Captive to the obedience of Christ".
You need to say this outloud, and meditate on it........often.........
A.) "I am the righteousnes of God, in Christ".
These words are not just true......they are a powerful deliverance and a faith building WORD.
