We continue from where we left off yesterday, in case you missed it, it’s on my wall, the post below this here.
Now was knowing our baptism to Christ included also into His death as well and one who has died has been freed from sin.
❕
Now, if we died with Christ, we have faith, we believe that we shall also live with Him..
Knowing that Christ having been raised from the dead, dies no more. Death no longer has dominion over Him.

Christ died to sin once and for all, there is no second death for Him. But the life He lives, He lives to God.
❕
Our God is a God of the living.
Luke 20:38 For he is not a God of the dead, but of the living: for all live unto him.

➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖
The Christian is told to not let sin reign in his or her mortal body, that the Christian should continue in obeying its lusts.
We all now having the knowledge about all of this, should not present our members as instruments of unrighteousness to sin, but rather present our present selves to God being alive from the dead, and our members as instruments of righteousness to God.
❕
Romans 12:1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.
We are to be Holy in conduct because He who calls us to His Kingdom and glory(1 Thess 2:12) is Holy(1 Peter 1:15-16).

◻️FINAL COMMENTS◻️
❕FRUITFUL GROWTH IN THE FAITH❕
(2 Peter 1:3-4, 5-11)
Knowing that God has given His children through Christ Jesus all things that pertains to life and godliness, and the great and precious promises we have received that through these we may be made partaker of the divine nature having escaped the corruption in the world through lust.
❕
Now for this reason with all diligence, add to your faith, virtue, knowledge, self-control, perseverance, godliness, brotherly kindness and love.
For if these things are yours and abound, you will neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ.
2 Peter 1:9 But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins.
2 Peter 1:10 Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall:
2 Peter 1:11 For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
Wherefore comfort one another with these words.

Hold fast what is good.
Do not quench the Spirit.
Abstain from all appearance of evil.

Be steadfast in the faith, love your neighbour, be immovable and abounding in the work of the Lord, for your labour is not in vain(1 Cor 15:58).
Put on your breastplate of faith and love and your helmet of the hope of Salvatjon. God bless you. Amen.

May the LORD keep you from stumbling and present you faultless before His Majesty, in Jesus Name, Amen.
