Ezekiel 33:19 NKJV

But when the wicked turns from his wickedness and does what is lawful and right, he shall live because of it.

Ezekiel 33:19 NKJV

Everything was judged by the law in the old covenant and they received their verdict according to how they lived their lives.

The law is holy but the purpose of the law is to reveal the sinful nature of mankind. The law cannot make anyone righteous.

Jesus is the only one who can make mankind righteous and He died under the law to free us from sin-consciousness to living conscious of God.

The law magnifies sin, Jesus magnifies His holiness. Therefore, to live in Christ is to magnify His holiness, magnify His finished work on the earth.

Just as people in the old covenant lived by the Law and are judged by it, we who are in the new covenant live in Christ Jesus and we are judged by Christ's work on the cross.

This gives us power to live a righteous life, power to walk in God's holiness and love. No one who has a bread factory wants to starve to death because he doesn't want to eat bread.

In the same manner, no one who tasted Jesus and the pure life wants to kill themselves with sin and evil.

Now when we turn to Jesus and receive Him as our Lord and Saviour, we will be blessed to live our life in His abundance.

Let us live in Christ, live in His righteousness and by the law of the Spirit of life in Him.

Blessings,

Ps Ambrose
