TREM Devotional 16 March 2022 By Bishop Mike Okonkwo – Sin Is Put Away
TOPIC: Sin Is Put Away (TREM Devotional 16 March 2022)
“For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once at the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.” Hebrews 9:26 (KJV)
Sin is the sting that causes death. When we talk about death it includes everything contrary to what Jesus Christ died to give to us e.g., sickness, diseases, poverty, fear, distress, failure, etc. Whatever is contrary to the full life you desire to live has been nailed to the cross so that you do not have to experience it anymore. Sin, in its entirety, has been put away, but why do people still live in sin-consciousness? Simple it is ignorance of all that Jesus died for.
It is the law that empowers Sin. 1 Corinthians 15:56 makes it clear that the strength of sin is the law. So, what did Jesus do? He came and fulfilled the law (Matt. 5:17). He became the end of the law for righteousness to everyone that believes (Romans 10:4).
Jesus put away sin through His sacrifice (Hebrew 9:26). Now that sin had been put away, we have eternal inheritance, we have righteousness. Halleluyah. What that means is that you have the right standing with God. You can stand before God boldly as if you never sinned before because Jesus paid the full price. He ushered in a new era where we receive all His blessings because of GRACE.
Now, because sin has been put away, we have an irrevocable, irreversible, unconditional blood-bought Iron-clad access to all His blessings. His death is a once and for all death; it is good for every season and never to be repeated. (Hebrew 10:10-12). No one can undo the finished work of Calvary; no one can add to it, and no one can remove it from it.
To everyone looking for Him will He appear the second time WITHOUT SIN unto salvation and not unto judgement why? Sin has now been put away, Sin is the work of the devil, and He was manifested to take away sins and in Him is no sin (1 John 3:5).
He was manifested to destroy Sin (1 John 3:8). Dearly beloved child of the Most-High God, stop thinking Sin.
