Be ye holy because I’m holy said the Lord! I Peter 1-16.
He wants us to be holy but does not force us to it because it has
to be done on our own volition.
This is a transformation we received from the Holy Spirit when
we accept Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior.
We should abandon the old man of sin after we are born again.
The old man is because of sin since Paradise, and the new man,
is when we receive the Paternity of Jesus instead of Adam’s!
This is of course a transformation from sin to sanctification.
From the old man to the new one! Jesus said:
I am a worm; and no man. Psalms 22.
Why did He say that?
Because He had on his shoulders the weight of the sins of the
World, not his own sins, but the sins of the whole world!
And when He died all the sins died with Him!
But if we keep embracing the old man of sin and continue sinning
after accepting Christ, what good would be our transformation for?
It is like a worm that dragging on the floor makes his cocoon over
him, days pass by, and when its time, the cocoon opens up an comes
out flying a butterfly of beautiful colors.
What would you say if instead of watching her fly, she starts dragg-
ing herself on the floor like a worm?
Yes! That she did not appreciated the gift of God!
What good would it be for us, that after receiving the Spirit of Jesus,
to do this transformation on us, and instead of flying to serve God,
we continue dragging ourselves in sin?
When we become Christians, we abandon the wide road of sin, and
started to walk on the narrow road full of rocks, thorns and thistles?
We cannot walk on the narrow road and on the wide one at our own
convenience! No! We have to decide once and for all, which road
to choose and to follow it! If we want the narrow one, we have to get
rid of the wide one!
Oh! We are sometimes on the wide road because we are in the f lesh1
Baloney! We sin, because we like to sin! And refuse to obey God
to love people! If we obey God, we cannot sin!
Man is a slave of the one who serves! Think about it!
“Our old man was crucified along with Christ, so the body of sin be
destroyed! And we cannot sin anymore” Roman’s 6-6.
PRAISE THE LORD!
José Salazar.
