Product Information

Toe sê die Here aan Moses: Ook hierdie versoek wat jy uitgespreek het, daaraan sal Ek voldoen; want jy het genade gevind in My oë, en Ek ken jou by die naam.’ Strong's 5547: Anointed One; the Messiah, the Christ. From chrio; Anointed One, i.e. The Messiah, an epithet of Jesus. Romans 6:1 Grace justifies believers, making them free of the guilt of sin, blameless, so that they may have eternal life.

Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him. ( N) 9 For we know that since Christ was raised from the dead, ( O) he cannot die again; death no longer has mastery over him. ( P) 10 The death he died, he died to sin ( Q) once for all; ( R) but the life he lives, he lives to God. BQ)Therefore, brethren, we are debtors—not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh. 13 For ( BR)if you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you ( BS)put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. 14 For ( BT)as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. 15 For ( BU)you did not receive the spirit of bondage again ( BV)to fear, but you received the ( BW)Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, ( BX)“Abba, [ n] Father.” 16 ( BY)The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, 17 and if children, then ( BZ)heirs—heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, ( CA)if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together. From Suffering to Glory S)Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body, that you should obey it in its lusts. 13 And do not present your ( T)members as [ d]instruments of unrighteousness to sin, but ( U)present yourselves to God as being alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God. 14 For ( V)sin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under law but under grace. From Slaves of Sin to Slaves of God Oración: Señor, gracias porque me amas y me cuidas. Gracias porque puedo conocer Tu favor y bendición en mi vida. Humildemente te traigo mis peticiones y te pido que hagas milagros, en mi vida y en mi situación. Amén. But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not His. 10 And if Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin, but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. 11 But if the Spirit of ( BO)Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, ( BP)He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies [ m]through His Spirit who dwells in you. Sonship Through the SpiritWhat then? ( AA)Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? ( AB)May it never be! 16 Do you not ( AC)know that when you go on presenting yourselves to someone as ( AD)slaves for obedience, you are slaves of the one whom you obey, either of ( AE)sin [ h]leading to death, or of obedience [ i]leading to righteousness? 17 But ( AF)thanks be to God that though you were slaves of sin, you obeyed from the heart that ( AG)pattern of teaching to which you were ( AH)given over, 18 and having been ( AI)freed from sin, you became slaves of righteousness. 19 ( AJ)I am speaking in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh. For just ( AK)as you presented your members as slaves to impurity and to lawlessness, [ j]leading to further lawlessness, so now present your members as slaves to righteousness, [ k]leading to sanctification. In the same way you are to think of yourselves as dead, so far as sin is concerned, but living in fellowship with God through Christ Jesus.

Because of the weakness of your human nature, I am using the illustration of slavery to help you understand all this. Previously, you let yourselves be slaves to impurity and lawlessness, which led ever deeper into sin. Now you must give yourselves to be slaves to righteous living so that you will become holy.

Well then, since God’s grace has set us free from the law, does that mean we can go on sinning? Of course not! 16 Don’t you realize that you become the slave of whatever you choose to obey? You can be a slave to sin, which leads to death, or you can choose to obey God, which leads to righteous living. 17 Thank God! Once you were slaves of sin, but now you wholeheartedly obey this teaching we have given you. 18 Now you are free from your slavery to sin, and you have become slaves to righteous living. What then? Shall we sin ( W)because we are not under law but under grace? Certainly not! 16 Do you not know that ( X)to whom you present yourselves slaves to obey, you are that one’s slaves whom you obey, whether of sin leading to death, or of obedience leading to righteousness? 17 But God be thanked that though you were slaves of sin, yet you obeyed from the heart ( Y)that form of doctrine to which you were [ e]delivered. 18 And ( Z)having been set free from sin, you became slaves of righteousness. 19 I speak in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh. For just as you presented your members as slaves of uncleanness, and of lawlessness leading to more lawlessness, so now present your members as slaves of righteousness [ f]for holiness. Even so, consider yourselves to be dead to sin [and your relationship to it broken], but alive to God [in unbroken fellowship with Him] in Christ Jesus. Strong's 2316: A deity, especially the supreme Divinity; figuratively, a magistrate; by Hebraism, very. AJ)For when you were slaves of sin, you were free in regard to righteousness. 21 ( AK)But what fruit were you getting at that time from the things ( AL)of which you are now ashamed? ( AM)For the end of those things is death. 22 But now that you ( AN)have been set free from sin and ( AO)have become slaves of God, ( AP)the fruit you get leads to sanctification and ( AQ)its end, eternal life. 23 ( AR)For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Released from the Law

EO)I am speaking the truth in Christ—I am not lying; my conscience bears me witness in the Holy Spirit— 2 that I have great sorrow and unceasing anguish in my heart. 3 For ( EP)I could wish that I myself were ( EQ)accursed and cut off from Christ for the sake of my brothers, [ q] my kinsmen ( ER)according to the flesh. 4 They are ( ES)Israelites, and to them belong ( ET)the adoption, ( EU)the glory, ( EV)the covenants, ( EW)the giving of the law, ( EX)the worship, and ( EY)the promises. 5 To them belong ( EZ)the patriarchs, and from their race, according to the flesh, is the Christ, ( FA)who is God over all, ( FB)blessed forever. Amen. Now if we have died with Christ, we believe that we will also live [together] with Him, 9 because we know [the self-evident truth] that Christ, having been raised from the dead, will never die again; death no longer has power over Him. 10 For the death that He died, He died to sin [ending its power and paying the sinner’s debt] once and for all; and the life that He lives, He lives to [glorify] God [in unbroken fellowship with Him]. 11 Even so, consider yourselves to be dead to sin [and your relationship to it broken], but alive to God [in unbroken fellowship with Him] in Christ Jesus. In the same way, you too must continuously consider yourselves dead as far as sin is concerned, but living for God through the Messiah Jesus. Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God. But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you.But of Israel he says, ( HU)“All day long I have held out my hands to a disobedient and contrary people.” The Remnant of Israel For when you were ( AA)slaves of sin, you were free in regard to righteousness. 21 ( AB)What fruit did you have then in the things of which you are now ashamed? For ( AC)the end of those things is death. 22 But now ( AD)having been set free from sin, and having become slaves of God, you have your fruit [ g]to holiness, and the end, everlasting life. 23 For ( AE)the wages of sin is death, but ( AF)the [ h]gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Freed from the Law Preghiera: Signore, grazie perché mi ami e Ti prendi cura di me. Grazie che posso conoscere la Tua benevolenza e la Tua benedizione sulla mia vita. Ti porto umilmente le mie richieste e Ti chiedo di fare miracoli, nella mia vita e nella mia situazione. Amen.

So then, with the mind I myself serve the law of God, but with the flesh the law of sin. Free from Indwelling Sin Strong's 3498: (a) adj: dead, lifeless, subject to death, mortal, (b) noun: a dead body, a corpse. From an apparently primary nekus; dead.Brothers, [ u] my heart's desire and prayer to God for them is that they may be saved. 2 For I bear them witness that ( GP)they have a zeal for God, ( GQ)but not according to knowledge. 3 For, being ignorant of ( GR)the righteousness of God, and seeking to establish their own, they did not submit to God's righteousness. 4 For ( GS)Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes.
