Grace for your spirit. January 16, 2012

Grace for your spirit
But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh in regard to its lust. Romans 13:14

When a person has died, all the things that were tempting to them while alive, die with them. The only thing we can gain in death is eternal life with Christ. Some have been known to stuff things in the casket so the dearly departed can enjoy the afterlife. When we put on Christ, we are called to die to the deeds of the flesh in regard to its lusts. The worldly will try to stuff our pockets with the sin that used to entice us, but we need to throw it away. If we have really died to the things of the flesh. let's not keep them around and make provision to come alive to them again. Keeping those things with us in case we backslide, is a really bad idea.

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit
Philippians 4:23
