The Obedience Of Christ

2 Corinthians 10:5" Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of christ" Many believers in christ today are still struggling with sin. So these believers condemn themselves and they think they have failed God. Well jesus didn't die for us so that we will still be in the same state we are in. Jesus died and rose for us so that we can live a victorious life. Scripture says a man is a product of his thinking. So when you can control your thought you can live the life you want to live. So many try to use that principle and they fail, because no one can truly control his thoughts. In our anchor scripture, it tell us to bring every thought to the obedience of christ. Notice it's not our obedience but christ obedience. Well you may ask what is exactly this christ obedience? It is christ obedience at the cross. When your mind is focused on christ obedience you become a product of it. Romans 5:19 says for by one man(christ) obedience many are made righteous. So we are to align our thoughts to christ obedience. Romans 6:14 " for sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace." so sin strength is in the law. Under the law you are self conscious but under grace you are christ conscious. Under law it's how much you can please God but under grace it's how much christ obedience pleased God. The root cause of sin is found in the word middle letter S(I)N. Self(I) is the root cause of sin. When you are self conscious sin will have dominion over you. Jesus christ the son of God came to save us from sin. The solution to sin is Found in the son of God. The middle letter of the word S(O)n is the solution to sin. The (O)bedience of christ is the solution to sin. When you become christ (O)ccupied sin looses it's base in your life. So anytime you have a bad thought don't mediate on it; instead focus on how christ obedience at the cross made you righteous. Righteous by faith not by works. 2nd corinthians 5:21: " For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him" #I want to give you an assignment today.
