The Daily Word of Righteousness

Out of the World of Out of the Evil?, #20

But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end [of righteousness and holiness is] everlasting life. (Romans 6:22)

Our redemption is complete when Satan comes and can find no part in us.

Christ is the Way to eternal life. The Way leads to the Truth, which Christ is. The knowledge of the Truth and the possession of the Truth release us from sin. The result of being set free from sin is eternal Life—that which Christ is.

Death results from sin. Eternal life results from holiness to the Lord.

"But now being made free from sin."

Christ's prayer for His elect, His chosen, is not that we be removed from the world, for it is in this wicked world that we are being taught meekness and obedience so we may inherit the earth. The earth and its peoples are our inheritance in the Lord. This is where God formed Adam and Eve, our ancestors, and this is where God intends for man to dwell.

Our removal from the earth to Paradise by physical death is a temporary measure while the Body of Christ is being formed. When the Body has been brought to the "measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ," the Lord Jesus will return. The Head will be joined to the Body. The Head and Body will be dwelling in glorified bodies, filled with the Fullness of the Father and anointed with the Fullness of the Holy Spirit.

This Entity is the Kingdom of God.

The Kingdom of God will invade the earth, destroying all who resist the Lord Jesus Christ. Each saint will be assigned his part in the program of creating obedience and worship in the lives of the peoples who have been preserved alive (saved) on the earth.

A marvelous work of restoration is just ahead of us (Isaiah 61:4).

The Christian people of today who are living in sin and disobedience will have no part in the glorious victory because they still are resisting God, they still are choosing death instead of life. In fact, they are enemies of the Kingdom of God, of the rule of God. They will be required to learn obedience to God before they will be allowed to participate in the joys of the Kingdom.

The first resurrection from the dead is for Christ's overcomers.

We are in the race for eternal life, for the fullness of eternal life. The objective is to overcome all death in our spirit, our soul, and—at the coming of Jesus—our body.

This is Christ's prayer for each of His elect. Christ is concerned, not that we be removed from the world but that we be kept from Satan.

If we will guard the word of Christ's patience during the present distress, Christ will guard us so that we do not fall during the season of temptation that is near at hand—and even now upon us. (from Out of the World or Out of the Evil; from John, Chapter Seventeen)
