THE TIME TO GIVE YOUR LIFE TO JESUS IS NOW.
Please, share this lesson with your family, friends co-worker and all who you can, for the expansion of the Kingdom of GOD.
When we completely surrender ourselves to Christ, a new power takes possession of the heart. A change is wrought that man can never do himself. It is a supernatural work (Psalm 51:10). But we must submit to this transforming power in order to be covered by Christ and His righteousness. There will be an outward evidence of the indwelling Spirit and righteousness of Jesus Christ. Those who are sanctified by the truth will be self controlled and follow in the footstep of Christ, who did no sin. They will become "servants of righteousness" (Romans 6:18) - servants of right doing, not servants of sin.
But there is something stopping the majority from being clothed with the righteousness of Jesus Christ. The love of worldly music, entertainment, television, movies, unhealthful food and other ungodly things have clouded the minds, keeping us in slavery to sin and Satan, and keeping us from this new birth and regeneration into the Spirit and life of Christ. The heart that is absorbed in worldly interests CANNOT be given up to God, and therefore cannot be under the full influence of Christ. Which is why we need to EMPTY ourselves and DIE to this flesh and sin (Romans 6:2,11).
Please don't ignore that point. The reason Jesus cannot fill many of us with His Spirit today is because we are still full of the 'junk' of the world. What did Jesus do to save us? As Philippians 2:7 says, He 'emptied Himself' and became one of us. And this is what we must do in order for Christ to be able to make His abode with us. We must EMPTY ourselves and surrender all to Him. THEN Christ can come and dwell with us.
This is why we must be "BORN AGAIN" - The 'old man' (sinful mind) must die, in order for the 'new man' (mind of Christ) to live in us.This growth in Christ and setting apart is what we call sanctification. By daily submitting to the will of God, Jesus will sanctify us and present us righteous before God in Himself ... "I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them; And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more." (Hebrews 10:16-17)
But do not become disheartened and overcome if you do commit sin. For we have an Advocate with God in Jesus Christ the righteous ... 1 John 2:1 ...'My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous.' ... Yet we will HATE the sin that caused the suffering of our precious Saviour, and will seek to sin no more through Christ.
When we fully submit to Jesus Christ, our hearts are united with His heart. Our will is merged with His will. Our minds become one with His mind, and all our thoughts are brought into captivity to Him (2 Corinthians 10:5), and His words and life are lived out in us (Galatians 2:20). This is what it means to be clothed with the garments of Christ's righteousness. Then as God looks upon us, he no longer sees the fig leaf garment that Adam and Eve tried to cover themselves with, nor the nakedness caused by the deformity of sin, but Christ's own robe of righteousness which is in perfect obedience to the great and holy law of Jehovah.
This message is to bring more prominently before the world the uplifted Saviour and the sacrifice He and His Father made for the sins of the whole world. This message presents justification through faith in the surety; Jesus invites people to receive His righteousness, which is made manifest in obedience to all the commandments of God.
"So we see that justification by faith is nothing else but bringing a person into perfect conformity to the law, Justification by faith does not make any provision for transgression of the law." (E.J.Waggoner, Daily Bulletin of the General Conference, 1891, p.172)
It should be clear that this message is to be 'proclaimed' not just in words, but more importantly through EXPERIENCE.
