Set Free by Jesus' Resurrection

Mike B. writes, "I guess I think about the fact that it says "death no longer has control", I still fail, I still mess up, BUT I am not dominated by sin. It doesn't have mastery over me. In God's eyes, we are legally dead, and set free from sin. Being set free means to be justified. I sinned, but Jesus took the blame and justified me. He set me free in court even though I did the deed. I was pardoned at that point. So even when I sin now, I am set free or pardoned. Right now I receive mercy instead of punishment. We are released. My jail cell has been unlocked and i have been released. I can't be tried for a sin again, I was already tried 2000 years ago and found not guilty."

Christy writes, "I think that Satan has really done a number on Christian. They walk around believing sin living in their sin and living in defeat. Wake up, you can't die twice! Wake up you sleep walkers, Wake up Christians! You are free and you don't even know it!"

Franklin writes, "There are many proofs: 500 plus witnesses, there was more written about it by hand, long before printing press documents, than any other account at that time, undeniable records that He genuinally lived and was crucified, the Apostles all accepting matyrdom and torture refusing to deny the crucifixon and countless believers historically surrendered their lives attesting to the ressurection. See 1 Corinthians 15."

Christy writes, "When ever I do these lessons and or send time with God my faith is increased! I get more inside of me so that there is less room for the worlds garbage! More equals less!"

Elaine writes, "I’m amazed as I continue to do these lessons how the Old Testament leads into the New Testament teaching and how Christ would walk the earth with us. The Bible is the truth of God being living and active and thus is relevant to life today, it’s so wonderful to see the word in a different way and light and how on time it really is."

Mike B. writes, "Yes, it is amazing how the OT tells the gospel story in different ways so many years before it happened."

Franklin writes, "When Christ defeated the curse of death and sin He broke original sins' curse on us. It doesn't have to ensnare us anymore as sin has no true overbearing destructive power on us. We can overcome through Christ!"

Franklin writes, "I'm above that sin, Christ raised us above those sins leading to death! We are not to live hopeless to those grave sins anymore, but rather to live a new raised up life in His ressurection power! Christ is precious to me, and to all believers!"

Mike B. writes, "I wish I were there in person."

Elaine writes, "How incredible to feel the love of Christ so differently. My spirit is moved by these lessons and how they take us to the cross, as well search our hearts, not living in the past of who we once were. Seeing that we have been freed from the past, we don’t need to hold on to it any longer. This is the hardest part for me and yet it is sombering that through these lessons I’m seeing a more intimate picture of his love, sacrifice and grace. If he doesn’t hold onto it than why should I. It’s done and needs to be let go so that I may live the full measure of his love. This is my heart today...."

Christy writes, "I now longer have to live in the mind set of when I fall that I have to give up and stay down. Overeating and laziness has no mastery over me! I'm dead to it and I'm above it! I am dead to me old self!"
