Do you still find yourself failing at times as a Christian? Would you like your life to display the fruits of the Spirit of goodness, knowledge, self-control, perseverance, godliness, mutual affection, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, faithfulness and gentleness that will supernaturally overwhelm your flesh and failures? Then you need to live like the work is finished because it is finished, and this is exactly how God sees it. Jesus is seated at the right hand of the Father, a place of rest and we are seated in Him. What God says is done, is done, no question, no doubt, no worry and no fear. 

I think we all want to see the fruits of the Spirit in our life as believers. We want to be an example of Christ, be a light on the hill and lead others to believe. But I have often struggled and if I am honest, I am often not the light I would like to be. The light God wants us to be to lead others to the faith. As a Christian, I have never been looking to walk in the fallen sin nature that still dwells in my flesh. But at times, I have found myself operating from my flesh and fallen Sin nature, unable to escape as my fallen nature did what it does best – commit outward acts of sin, just as Paul tells us was his experience.

When I look around the many churches I have visited, I do not see people looking for a way to walk in their Sin nature, I see people looking for a way out of their Sin natures dominion even though they may feel trapped in it at times. How about you?

Jesus poured out His blood for the New Covenant of grace and truth, replacing the Old Covenant letter of the law of Moses. Believers are exclusively under the New Covenant, the last will and testament of Jesus that began after the cross.
