THE BLESSINGS AND BENEFITS OF THE RESURRECTION OF JESUS. Part 35.

1John 5:16-17 (KJV) If any man see his brother sin a sin which is not unto death, he shall ask, and he shall give him life for them that sin not unto death. There is a sin unto death: I do not say that he shall pray for it. 17 All unrighteousness is sin: and there is a sin not unto death.
2Corinthians 5:15-17; Romans 6:3-5; 8:11; 1Corinthians 2:7-8; 15:12-23; Hebrews 11:35;

Today we continue our study series titled THE BLESSINGS AND BENEFITS OF THE RESURRECTION OF JESUS to enable us to walk in the fullness of the resurrection power.

42. Sin Unto Death is a sin unto eternal death. Only ministers of the gospel and spiritually matured believers can commit the sin unto death. They can commit it not by committing any sin of the flesh but by spiritual sin of rejection of Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour willfully. Willfully, not under compulsion, or pressure or afflictions but a matter of freewill choice knowing the implications. This is explained in Hebrews 6:4-6 (KJV)4 For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost, 5 And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come, 6 If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame.

According to Hebrews 6:4-6 the enlightened are those who have received the light which is Jesus the light of the world. The heavenly gift is Christ, for God so loved the world that he gave Jesus His only begotten son. Partakers of the Holy Ghost are those filled the with the Spirit and speaking in tongues. Those who have tasted the good word of God are they who have received the spirit of knowledge, revelation and understanding of the word of God to the point that they are even teachers and preachers of it. Powers of the world to come are those who have manifested the gifts of the Spirit and power with signs and wonders.

You can see by the mercy of God the long criteria needed for a believer to sin unto death. So it is not for many but for a very few. You became a believer by accepting Jesus as your Lord and Saviour by faith. You can only lose your salvation by same route of rejection of Jesus as your Lord and Saviour. Living a righteous life did not make you a believer so living an unrighteous life cannot make you lose your salvation unto eternal death. Sinful unrighteous life can only lead to untimely physical death of the believer not eternal death. I believe Adam committed the sin unto death because the bible says Adam was not deceived that he sinned willfully.

These four types of sin - The Sin Nature, Sins of Omission, Sins of Commission and Sin Unto Death are what made every man a sinner needing redemption and salvation. It is sin not the devil that is responsibility for all the woes and troubles of mankind. The devil only uses sin. Except the sin unto death all sin is the works of the flesh not the works of the devil. Don't blame the devil, anyone or anything for any sin in your life. You must take personal responsibility for all your sins if you are to be victorious over sin.

In the first place if you don't take personal responsibility for your sins you will not be willing to accept Jesus as your Lord and Saviour to take away your sin nature; you will refuse to confess your sins and seek forgiveness. Any sin you don't take responsibility for will persist in your life and will lead to other sins. One of the main character of sin is that one sin will always cause you to commit other sins consciously or unconsciously.

If you are an unbeliever the first things you must do is to receive Jesus as your Lord and Saviour to give you the resurrection power to overcome the power of sin. Thereafter deal with every sin in your life immediately by your confession and commitment to forsake them. Do not procastinate to confess your sins to God and ask for forgiveness. The longer you wait the more room you give for other sins. Also the longer you wait the more harm you do to your conscience to accommodate more sins and even worse ones. 1John 1:7-10; John 1:1-9,14; 3:19-21; 8:12; 9:5; Luke 1:79; 2:32; Acts 1:8; 2:1-4; 1Corinthians 12:3-11

If you need healing the bible says In Matthew 8:17 that Jesus Himself took all our sicknesses and diseases. Therefore you can receive your healing now by faith in the name of Jesus. Just lay your hand on the affected area of your body and say this prayer. Father God in the name of Jesus I believe that Jesus died for my healing. I believe He took all my sickness and diseases on the cross. If He took them, then I cannot have them. Therefore I resist and I reject every sickness in my body and I confess Jesus today as my healer and I receive my healing now. Thank you Jesus that I am healed. 1Peter 2:24; Ps 107:20.
Now begin to do what you couldn't do before because of the sickness. You are healed in Jesus name.

Jesus is coming very soon. Are you ready? Heaven is real, hell is real. The time is very short. Choose Jesus today.
You can become a born again child of God today. The bible says If you shalt confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in your heart that God hath raised him from the dead, you shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. Romans 10:9-10; John 1:12.

Say this prayer: O God have mercy on me. I come to you today in the name of Jesus. I believe in my heart that Jesus is the Son of God. I believe that He died for me. I believe that you raised Him from the dead for my salvation. I accept Jesus in my heart today and I confess Him today as my Lord and Saviour. Thank you Father that today I am saved In Jesus name.

If you prayed this prayer of Salvation, please go to a nearby bible believing Church in your area, so you can grow in the grace of our Lord Jesus.

Grace be with you.
