“THE INSIDE ADVANTAGE”
There is a great disconnect in modern Christianity today in comparison to biblical Christianity displayed in the Bible. Today’s Christianity is attached to profession only and has little to do with possession. If a person claims to be a Christian, no one can dare challenge that profession. It seems the norms of modern Christianity leaves little to no room for the biblical litmus of things such as radical change and transformation. Regeneration is what takes place in the life of a true convert. Regeneration is a change in heart and mind that leads to repentance.
The Christian has an “inside advantage” to living life the best way. We have a personal guide that leads us into all truth. This guide never leaves us nor forsakes us, and He is always present on the job. There are certain subscriptions to digital services that we can purchase that comes with 24/7 live technical support. We have and inner-support much greater than that; We have the Holy Spirit living within us as believers. This is an advantage like none other. He is always present, He is always right, and He always brings us to life!
All of mankind is condemned by the law according to our violation of God’s Law. We are guilty. Attached to that guilt is a divine judicial sentence. We are all sentenced to death (Romans 6:23.) When we are born-again, the Holy Spirit becomes a new law unto us. Paul calls it the “law of the Spirit in Christ Jesus.” This new law within us does not cancel out the Law of God, it just trumps it! We have an advantage over the Law of God and that advantage lives within us. He is a person and is the third person of the Godhead. Yes, the Holy Spirit have freed us from the immutable law of sin and death. We have an inside advantage.
Romans 8:2—”2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.”
