155 Salvation is far from the wicked,
For they do not seek Your statutes.
160 The sum of Your word is truth,
And every one of Your righteous ordinances is everlasting.
161 Princes persecute me without cause,
But my heart stands in awe of Your words.
162 I rejoice at Your word,
As one who finds great spoil.
163 I hate and despise falsehood,
But I love Your law. (Psalm 119:155,160-163 NASB1995)
When we are born into this world, we are born with sin natures, in the image of Adam, the first man God created, and the first man to sin against God. In our flesh we can do nothing to meet with God’s divine approval. So God the Father sent his Only Begotten Son Jesus Christ to the earth to be born as a baby to a human (virgin) mother, conceived of the Holy Spirit, and not of man. So Jesus was not born with a sin nature as we are, and he never sinned. So he was our perfect “lamb” sacrifice for the sins of the world when his enemies hung him on that cross to die. But he arose from the dead!
Now when Jesus lived on the earth he was fully God and fully human (God incarnate), but without sin. And he gave his life up for us on that cross so that when he died, our sins died with him, so that by God-persuaded faith in him we will now die with him to sin and live to him and to his righteousness in walks of obedience to his commands, in surrender of our lives to his will. For this is the will of God, and this is the message of the gospel, that faith in Christ, which is of God, will result in us forsaking our sinful lifestyles to now follow our Lord in obedience to his commands in holy living, by his grace.
And now we should no longer live like we did before we believed in Jesus. Now all that is of the flesh, that which is morally unclean, which is sinful, dishonest, wicked, untrustworthy, hypocritical, prideful and contrary to God’s will and purpose for our lives should no longer be what we practice. All that we used to long for and desire in our sinful flesh should now be put away from our lives, and our longing and desires should now be for the Lord, to follow him in his ways, and in his truth, and to please him with our lives. Daily we should be putting sin to death and walking in fellowship with God.
Nonetheless, that is not the gospel message which is being so popularized in our culture today, well at least in the USA, where I live. There are many false teachers and preachers and evangelists among us who are spreading an altered and diluted “gospel” created in the minds of human flesh with the purpose to appease human flesh and to coddle those who profess the name of Jesus, in their sins. They are teaching that a mere profession of faith in Jesus Christ will guarantee us forgiveness of all sins and heaven as our eternal resting place, but regardless of how we live, absent of repentance.
But they are the morally unclean, liars, manipulators, and deceivers who fake their Christianity in order to deceive people and to lead them to follow the lies which will land them in hell, rather than to teach them the truth of the gospel which, if we follow by faith, will result in salvation from sin and eternal life with God. They have taken the Light of the gospel and they have altered it and twisted it to their advantage so that they can continue living in sin while promising themselves eternal life with God. And they are attacking the truth of the gospel, and those who teach it, so as to deceive the masses.
So, as those who follow Jesus Christ with our lives, who have died with Christ to sin, who have been reborn of the Spirit of God to walk in newness of life in Him, and who are now living to please our Lord in walks of obedience to his commands, we should also be those who are spreading the truth of the gospel of Christ to the people of the world, and who are refuting the lies of the enemy which are leading so many people to believe that how they live will have no impact at all on where they spend eternity. We should teach death to sin and obedience to God as faith in Christ which saves.
For Jesus Christ taught that to come to him we must deny self, take up our cross daily (die daily to sin), and follow (obey) him. For if we hold on to living in sin and for self, we will lose our lives for eternity. But if we deny self, die daily to sin, by the Spirit, and we walk in obedience to our Lord and to his commands, in his power, then we have eternal life with God. For not everyone who calls him “Lord” will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one DOING (obeying) the will of God (see Luke 9:23-26; Matthew 7:21-23).
[Matthew 7:13-14,21-23; Luke 9:23-26; John 10:27-30; Acts 26:18; Romans 2:5-10; Romans 6:1-23; Romans 8:1-14; 1 Corinthians 10:1-22; Galatians 5:16-24; Ephesians 4:17-32; Ephesians 5:3-6; Titus 2:11-14; Hebrews 12:1-2; 1 Peter 2:24; 1 John 1:1-10; 1 John 2:3-6; 1 John 3:4-10]
