LIFE AND DEATH JEREMIAH 3:2,15

For once I was and you were God’s enemy. What made us His enemies then was sin. Sin can be terrible and note, no little of it and no big version of it, sin is sin and sin is death.

Death takes away everything from you, just like death will drain you of all goodies you carry. The prayer of a sinner is abomination to God, sin hinders your prayer, because it’s as good as dead, dead men don’t speak, don’t pray.
But then we are no longer in the time of law but of grace, law will do no good than to increase the rate and speed of sin. Those that live by the law are judged by the law.
However, life is faith in Christ Jesus, for our righteousness is not that of law but of faith in the only son of God, burying the old self of sin and raising the new self of faith. That 3-day’s journey to hell was in order to pay the price of you not going there. He swallowed death, death where is thy sting and grave where is thy victory, the sting of death is sin and the power of sin is law, but finally all thanks to God, who has given us victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. (1 Corinthians 15:55-57).
He conquered all for your sake and that’s why Jesus will boldly assure you of life to the fullness because the choking aspect of it has been removed.
Hello!!!, you are not the one starting the redemption journey all over, stop living/acting like you can redeem yourself by your works/blood. Someone did that years ago, remember? God has no interest in seen your blood (sacrifice) or that of animal, He saw one of Himself and that settles it all. Don’t take glory that doesn’t belong to you by forcing on yourself an inconvenient life of law. That era has passed, don’t live in the old, please get the new life.
The question now is, am I permitted to sin or do anything anyhow because I’ve been saved by grace? That will lead me to what a friend will always say, “you wouldn’t want to stoop so low to do that because you had tasted something bigger and better and greater”.
Let me gist you of a very poor man, his poverty is unquantifiable, anyways, he managed to have a rag he wears about every day. One very good morning, a rich man across the street that is always seen him called him, took him home, took away the old rag and gave him a new wear, that wasn’t all, he gave him a house, car and some cool cash and then gave him hints on how to maintain his new identity has a rich man. No longer is he the poor man, now the rich man, here is the real gist, how does it sound when you hear that the man left that beautiful comfort of his and went in search of his old rag, put it on and start working up and down the street.
Exact way you look when you have been saved, cleansed, washed with such an expensive blood and still you decide to bend and pick up some shit. Live and laugh, because this “God is not in the business of condemnation but in the transformation business.”
I have placed before you life and death, you choose. He came out of the grave, stop visiting the grave on a daily basis. He locked the gate of Hell, stop knocking on Hell’s door like it’s your house with the way you live your life.
Enjoy your new life for He doesn’t count your sin no more, if you haven’t gotten that life, I bet you are missing something big, get it now and live.
Do yourself the good of accepting the gift He had bought (life-faith) and throw away that which He had destroyed (death-sin).
Abraham was righteous but, not by deeds but by faith.
