FOUR WAYS TO LIVE ABOVE SIN.
Last time, we looked at ‘the danger of sin-consciousness’ and how sin-consciousness kills one spiritual life easily without their knowledge.
Let's look at the extension of the subject in what I titled:
“Four Ways to Live above Sin”
Sin in itself was completely destroyed by Jesus Christ. In other Word, the Christian-believer should not be fighting against sin, because it was beautifully destroyed by the finished work of Christ. But then, it's funny how we are still trying to live above sin.
But then Christ's destruction of sin does not mean, christians are not struggling with addictions. But the level of the knowledge of God's Word you, determines the level by which you lives above sin.
1 KNOW WHAT YOU HAVE IN CHRIST.
You must know as a christian that: the life you are living is the life of God, in the faith of Jesus Christ (Gal.2:20). With this knowledge you'll automatically cease to struggle to please God.
2. HEAR THE WORD.
The scripture says “without faith no man can please God…” so, you asked ‘what can I do keep pleasing God?’ the answer is faith. And faith is more develop by hearing the Word of God (Rom.10:17). It is the hearing of the Word of God that produces faith — and faith is the force that pleases God without struggle.
3. HIDE THE WORD IN YOUR HEART (SPIRIT).
The Word of God didn't say “become so conscious of sin, that you might not sin against God.”
What did David said “Thy word have I hid in mine heart that I might not sin against thee” (Ps.119:11). If you must live above sin, the solution is becoming more conscious of God's Word, by hiding it in your heart (spirit). When the Word is hidden in your heart sin is not an option.
The spirit storage of the Word is a refusal to sin. And by hiding the Word, I meant to receive it with faith — don't always see effort to not to sin. Just hide the Word (truth) in your heart.
4. MEDITATE ON THE WORD.
The speaking of the Word that's hidden in your heart is another step of living above sin. Meditation helps you to do according to what's hidden in your heart. What did God told Joshua?
This book of the law shall not depart out thy mouth, but that shall meditate…so that you may observe and do according all that is written in it (Joshua 1:8), (paraphrased the scripture).
The speaking of the Word of God places you above the conditioning of the devil. Because, by speaking you are observing, so you can do according to all that's written in the Word without struggle. Meditate on the Word gives you directions on how to apply the Word in your daily life. It perfectly opens a way for you to observe how you can apply the Word in a very simple way.
Before all of these can happen, you must be helped by the Holy Spirit. He is your ultimate helper. He brings you the Word, teaches you the Word, and helps you to keep and do the Word of God. Acknowledge all the time. He is the master builder living in you.
