ABUNDANT LIFE MINISTRIES

(THINGS GET HOSTILE, WHEN WORLD-CHANGERS ABOLISH EXISTING THINGS THAT ARE CONTRARY TO THE WORD AND WILL OF GOD!!!)

WHEN YOU PREACH A CHRIST MESSAGE THAT TEARS DOWN AND CONFRONTS FRACTURED THEOLOGY, SELF-RIGHTEOUS MINDSETS, AND OLD WAYS OF THINKING THAT ARE FILLED WITH TRADITIONS, CUSTOMS, PREJUDICES, AND DIVISIONS...

THINGS GET HOSTILE!!!...

BUT IF CHRIST JESUS HAS PUT TO DEATH THIS HOSTILITY, ENMITY, AND DIVISION, THROUGH HIS CROSS CREATING A NEW MAN, (A CROSS MAN) A NEW KINGDOM ETHNICITY... WHY ARE WE THEN STILL STANDING FIRM IN THE PRIDE OF OUR OLD RACES, CULTURES, AND DOCTRINAL DIFFERENCES CONTINUOUSLY STRIVING TO BE VIEWED AS BETTER THAN ANYBODY ELSE????? CHRIST DEATH AND RESURRECTION CALLS EVERYONE TO RECEIVE AND BELIEVE IN HIS SALVATION!!!

NO ONE IS EXEMPT FROM HIS CALL, BUT ONCE RECEIVING HIS CALL, MUST DENY AND DIE TO HIMSELF, AND IN OBEDIENCE TO THE WORD OF GOD, BY THE GRACE AND INDWELLING SPIRIT OF GOD, BE TRANSFORMED AND CREATED NEW... NO MORE BEING POWERLESS TO SIN AND CARNALITIES BUT NOW VICTORIOUS, READY TO STAMP OUT AND DESTROY ALL THAT IS WITHIN THAT HAS BEEN REBELLIOUS TO GOD!!!

Ephesians 2:15-16 NLT
By his death he ended the whole system of Jewish law that excluded the Gentiles. His purpose was to make peace between Jews and Gentiles by creating in himself one new person from the two groups. Together as one body, Christ reconciled both groups to God by means of his death, and our hostility toward each other was put to death.

Ephesians 2:15-16 MSG
He repealed the law code that had become so clogged with fine print and footnotes that it hindered more than it helped. Then he started over. Instead of continuing with two groups of people separated by centuries of animosity and suspicion, he created a new kind of human being, a fresh start for everybody. Christ brought us together through his death on the Cross. The Cross got us to embrace, and that was the end of the hostility.

Ephesians 2:15-16 NKJV
having abolished in His flesh the enmity, that is , the law of commandments contained in ordinances, so as to create in Himself one new man from the two, thus making peace, and that He might reconcile them both to God in one body through the cross, thereby putting to death the enmity.

***WE HAVE NO ENVY FOR NOT BEING BORN JEWISH AND NO PRIDE IN BEING GENTILES, BUT WITH MUCH GRATITUDE AND THANKFULNESS, WE ARE HIS NEW CREATION!!!***
