Look out.......Here comes THE LAW

             I know people I said , at the conclusion of my last blog that we were going to get to the good stuff next , and it is soon coming , believe me that's where Id rather be too. Enough of this Adam guy ,he reminds me too much of me.........But first we must deal with the result of Adams [us] embrace of sin and death by turning his own way and not any longer trusting God for his ALL. And High upon the list of what Adam must face is THE LAW[think ten commandments] " for by the law is the knowledge of sin Rom. 3:20 The Bible says no man is justified by the law in the sight of God but ONLY by faith. Here's the thing boys and girls we all, because we do now, and will always be[as long as we are in this flesh body]here on this earth, be stuck in the Adam mode. And one of the main propensities of that particular race [us, Adam] is we look to find a way to be justified both for our sin behaviour as well as our being forgiven for it. The answer for most of us is found in trying to obey the LAW. Yes the law is from God its holy and good , so why would we not follow it, short answer , because we can't!!. Come on now we all know that!! So why in the world did God give it? Why, among many reasons, because he wanted to show His people [the Jews, and us] a set way to know Him and be aware of their need for Him But manly the result of the LAW was to show us Adams, that as the Bible says....;'for the mind set on the Flesh [us Adams our human nature right now in us] is hostile toward God; FOR it [our human minds] does not SUBJECT itself to THE LAW of God for it is NOT ABLE to do so" Rom. 8:6,7. God help us, what a mess we find ourselves in.  I am going to stop here pounding you with the negative. Well maybe a little more we'll see?  All this explanation of who we are and the problem we face is in order to help you understand that our dilemma [death ,sin lack of spiritual strength and power,etc. etc.] Is due to us living our lives ,[ in our conscious mind] , in the old man Adam! And here is the real bummer he , this old man, will always be with us here on the earth. But there is GREAT hope and a way out of the pain and suffering brought about by this worldly experience . The answer in detail, is soon coming ,THE NEW MAN, The second Adam, Jesus Christ. But before that we will need to look at what we, 'The church body," have done over the years to deal with old Adam and his nature. This will not be fun, but necessary. Please hang in there with me , it get a lot better I promise!!
