Delivering or Carrying the Burden
Romans 6:13
- How do our members become the material that advances the kingdom of God? Not by ruling him out of Adam’s goodness. It is only by grace that connects them with the Lord who spreads life to those who donate their organs. Our members are no longer instruments to advance that satanic kingdom, and they do not apply that which shows humanity the way to the good that Adam achieved. Instead, we enter a life that is already above principalities and authorities, a life that has moved away from people’s emotional attachment to the desire for religious identity. People try to live by what religion says is right and true, so that their consciences can be happy, but the standards they hold prevent them from allowing their level of love for God to rise.
Our members are not to be engrossed in earthly things, where our emotions control our minds and bodies, and evil desires enter into them. People want their own self-reactions, which help them in Adam. When this is not the case, they express their unsatisfied desires in the form of anger, hoping to instill fear and surrender in other people. The evil desires of men enter into religion, as they demand materials to be certain things according to their own human conceptions. They fail to realize that God cannot use the worldly members but only those who are guided by faith in the heavenly stream.
Today’s reading is 1 Samuel 14-16
