Alive Again Today and Forever
Alive Again Today and
Forever
Sin has seriously
damaged the human
race. “Sin is the
transgression of the law” (1
John 3:4, KJV). Sin
separates us from God
(Isaiah 59:1-2) and
threatens our eternal
reward. It is the
implacable enemy of every
human being and must
be conquered. This
is not easy and never
has been.
But Christ knows what
it is like to have
human nature, to be
tempted to sin, to be
tempted to transgress
God’s spiritual law.
“For in that He
Himself has suffered, being
tempted, He is able to
aid those who are
tempted” (Hebrews
2:18).
Christ did whatever
was necessary to
resist the pulls of
the flesh and temptations
to sin. He never
underestimated them. He
prayed and fasted, but
mostly He continually
relied on and looked
to the Father for help.
By never once
transgressing God’s law, “He
condemned sin in the
flesh” (Romans 8:3). In
contrast, sin has
tainted us, and one of our
major goals as
Christians is to learn to over
-
come its
entanglements. Yet we cannot do this
apart from our Savior,
who told us, “Without
Me you can do nothing”
(John 15:5).
Notice Hebrews
4:14-16: “Seeing then
that we have a great
High Priest who has
passed through the
heavens, Jesus the
Son of God, let us
hold fast our confession
[‘profession,’ KJV].
For we do not have a
High Priest who cannot
sympathize with our
weaknesses, but was in
all points tempted
as we are, yet without
sin. Let us therefore
come boldly to the
throne of grace, that we
may obtain mercy and
find grace to help in
time of need.”
