Faith & Spiritual Sight
Romans chapters 6,7,8 gives us four steps on how we can be delivered from this sinful nature and walk in the freedom of the spirit.
1. Knowing
2. Believing
3. Consecrating
4. Walking in the Spirit
Romans 6.3,4 Or don’t you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life
When we are baptised into Jesus’ death, we are activating in our lives what Jesus did for us 2000 years ago. In water baptism , we are buried with Jesus and come out in Jesus and live a new life. Our life after believing in Jesus and being born again is totally different from what we were before. Our attitudes , values, belief systems, vocabulary etc will change totally and we live a new life in Christ. A born again person lives a different life from a worldly person and be proud of it. We must be prepared to tell others about the salvation we have received.
Philippians 2:14 Do everything without grumbling or arguing, so that you may become blameless and pure, “children of God without fault in a warped and crooked generation.” Then you will shine among them like stars in the sky as you hold firmly to the word of life.
We must also be the fragrance of Christ to others.
Romans 6. 6,7 For we know that our old self was crucified with him so that the body ruled by sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves to sin — because anyone who has died has been set free from sin.
We must know that our old man (self) was crucified with Christ. The death on a cross is a long and painful process. Jesus went through this pain for us. When we are baptised by the Holy Spirit, our old sinful nature was crucified and is set free. A sinner who is dead can no longer sin.
The spiritual fact that evolves from the historical crucifixion of Jesus on the Cross is that we were crucified spiritually with Him.
2 Corinthians 5:14 For Christ’s love compels us, because we are convinced that one died for all, and therefore all died.
In AD 30, we were spiritually dead with Christ on the cross but the effect comes in our life when we become spiritually one with Him in baptism of the Holy Spirit when we are born again.
2 Corinthians 5.7 For we walk by faith, not by sight.
Sight denotes our sensory knowledge. When we try to understand all this with our five senses, it sounds foolish, but we do not walk by sight. We walk by faith and live by faith. In other words, faith is spiritual sight. We don't live according to what we see naturally but by faith in the Word of God. Even if we cannot understand the Word, we must still believe it because it is the “Truth”.
Our salvation happened 2000 years ago when Jesus died for us on the Cross but we experience it only when we are born again. Our eternal rich Father God has by writing a Will left the rich inheritance of salvation for each one of us even before we were born. We must know this and receive it deep into our spirits.
