WHICH SPIRIT DO YOU HAVE

Every single person on earth was born without spirit as a consequence for man's disobedience back in Genesis and will die because of it. There is nothing anyone can do to raise themselves from this condition of death. No one can beat his chest, march up to God and demand eternal life because they are so nice to everyone. The only way out of death is to be born again and accept what God has made freely available.


Ephesians 1:3
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:


God blessed us with all spiritual blessings. God did it. These blessings come with the new birth. When we are born into God's family, these blessings come wrapped up with the Christ in us. With sonship comes all spiritual blessings. With sonship comes rights. When we are born into God's family, for example, from that moment we are holy and without blame.


Ephesians 1:4
According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:


Why are we holy and without blame? We've all done terrible things, yet we're holy and without blame? Yes, that's what the word says. It's not what the world tells you, but it is what the word says. Who are you going to believe? The devil is a liar, God tells the truth.

The gift of holy spirit, the Christ in us, is perfect. It is incorruptible seed and eternal life, which means it lives forever. If it is incorruptible, it is not corruptible. There is nothing you can do to corrupt that eternal life within you. Regardless of anything you have done or ever will do, that Christ in you cannot be corrupted. That's why we are holy and without blame. We have been raised from the dead, we have Christ in us the hope of glory, and it is that spirit that is holy and without blame.

If you are born again, you can ignore the word and have a miserable time on earth, but there is nothing you can do to mess up your holy spirit. Incidentally, as it is our spirit that is holy and without blame, attempting to make our bodies and souls holy and without blame as well is a waste of time and effort. That is what religion attempts, and it is guaranteed to fail. The bible does not teach us to transform the old man into something nice, it teaches us to put the stinky thing off.


Ephesians 4:22-24
That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts;

And be renewed in the spirit of your mind;

And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.


The point is, we are holy and without blame because of the price that was paid for us and the Christ in us we received at the time of the new birth, not because of anything we have done or ever will do with our body and soul abilities. We have been raised from death into a new life.


2 Corinthians 5:17
Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature [creation]: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.


This is something God did for us, not something we did for ourselves. Jesus Christ was the fulfilment of God's plan for us, so we could have eternal life. God desired to have a family, to have children, and we are it. Children have nothing to do with whether or not they are born the first time into natural life, and they have nothing to do with their being raised from the dead into the new supernatural life either. We simply confess Jesus as Lord and believe in our hearts that God raised him from the dead, and suddenly we're born into a new life.

When we are born again we are holy and without blame because one of the rights that comes with the gift of holy spirit is righteousness. No one can earn righteousness by their own works. The righteousness of God comes with the new birth. We receive that righteousness when we are born again. It's encoded in the nature of the Christ in us. Before we were born again, our nature was children of wrath - that was who we were.

TUKIMTEGEMEA MUNGU TUTA SHINDA MAJARIBU "Ee Bwana MUNGU nukuomba UKANITIE NGUVU MARA HII TU. Waamuzi 16:19-21,28-30 Naye akamlaza usingizi magotini pake. Kisha akamwita mtu akavinyoa vile vishungi saba vya nywele za kichwa chake akaanza kumsumbua nguvu zake zikamtoka. Kisha akasema, Samsoni wafilisti wanakujia. Akaamka katika usingizi wake, akasema, Nitakwenda nje kama siku nyingine, na kujinyosha. Lakini hakujua ya Kuwa Bwana amemwacha. Wafilisti wakamkamata, wakamng'oa macho; wakatelemka naye mpaka Gaza, wakamfunga kwa vifungo vya shaba; naye alikuwa akisaga ngano katika gereza. Samsoni akamwita BWANA, akasema Ee Bwana MUNGU, unasumbuka, nukuomba, ukanitie nguvu mara, nukuomba, mara hii tu, Ee Mungu, ili nipate kujilipiza kisasi juu ya wafilisti kwa ajili ya macho yangu mawili.

Final judgment

Final judgment Final Judgment is the sentence that will be passed on our actions at the last day (Matt. 25; Rom. 14:10, 11; 2 Cor. 5: 10; 2 Thess. 1:7-10). The judge is Jesus Christ, as mediator. All judgment is committed to him (Acts 17:31; John 5:22, 27; Rev. 1:7). "It pertains to him as mediator to complete and publicly manifest the salvation of his people and the overthrow of his enemies, together with the glorious righteousness of his work in both respects." The persons to be judged are, (1) the whole race of Adam without a single exception (Matt. 25:31-46; 1 Cor. 15:51, 52; Rev. 20:11-15); and (2) the fallen angels (2 Pet. 2:4; Jude 6). The rule of judgment is the standard of God's law as revealed to men, the heathen by the law as written on their hearts (Luke 12:47, 48; Rom. 2:12-16); the Jew who "sinned in the law shall be judged by the law" (Rom. 2:12); the Christian enjoying t
