There Is No Conviction of Sin For The Saved

"For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law." Romans 5:13

We read in Romans 4:8 that King David wrote that we are blessed because our Father will not impute sin against us! How can our Father do this for us? He can because all of the law that would impute sin, has been nailed to the Cross and the condemnation and power that satan used through the weakness of our flesh has been made a show of openly and Jesus has triumphed over it! Sin is not imputed where there is no law and without law there is no sin. We are blessed beyond expression and we are blessed apart from any work of our own. Jesus came and secured for us an abundant life, by doing away with the law that robbed us of it!

"But now we are delivered from the law, that being dead wherein we were held; that we should serve in newness of spirit, and not in oldness of the letter." Romans 7:6 Now we are delivered from the law! Hallelujah, now we are delivered from the Law! So now sin is not imputed to us and now there is no sin for us, because now we are delivered from the law, and now we are righteous only because of Jesus! We can take on the breastplate of God’s very own righteousness, which protects our hearts because all of the laws that we were unable to keep, have been taken away from us! We have been delivered from them all! Blessed are we, for God will never count our sins against us! We serve our Father by the power of His very Spirit that dwells within us. Our Father strengthens us with Himself and there is nothing that can stand up against the strength of God! We serve in a new way, we are new creatures in Christ, old things are passed away, and behold all things are new for us!

"Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for His seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God." 1 John 3:9 You see we cannot sin because Jesus did away with the very thing that would convict us of sin, the law! There is now no Law for us! We have free access to this freedom because Jesus is now within us; God’s Seed, His Incorruptible Seed, Jesus, is now within us. We now live under the Law of Liberty through Christ Jesus, freedom applies to our lives, and there is now no condemnation for us. We are no longer carnally minded, concerning ourselves with the flesh; we have the mind of Christ, and serve our Father by the power of the Holy Spirit! Just as Jesus serves God by the power of the Holy Spirit! We no longer serve in the old way of do this and don’t do that. Jesus’ Blood and the rights that it brought forth are what keep us from sin, not our actions. Blessed are we who God does not impute sin, blessed are we whose iniquities He remembers no more, and blessed are we whose sins have been removed, removed from us as far as the East is from the West. There would have to be a law for us that could be broken for us to sin, and there’s not, we have been removed from the law!

Because we cannot sin, think of what we can now be used by God to do! We now have direct access to our Father and there is no unrighteousness that can hinder it. We can now have fellowship with God as Jesus fellowships with God and God can now work through us as He works through Jesus! We can hear the things of righteousness and we can serve God in righteousness. We can now be used to do the works of Jesus; we can be used to heal the sick, raise the dead, and preach recovering of sight to the blind. Our Father can now use us to ever live to serve others as Jesus ever lives to serve us! We can be as He is in this world! “Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the Day of Judgment: because as He is, so are we in this world.” 1 John 4:17

Because sin is never imputed against us, our love has been made perfect, and our Father's perfect love casts out all fear and all torment from us! There is no fear in love and we are born of Love! We can serve our Father and live with our Father without any fear of ever loosing Him. We can serve others and never fear what they shall do to us. All of the torments of failure are gone, because now the righteousness of the law has been fulfilled within us! Now it’s the Father within us doing the works and we are now righteous because He is righteous! And the world will look at us and see it, and they will know that we are born again because of it! Jesus will Author and Finish all of the faith needed for us to accept and believe this. The Holy Spirit has abundantly supplied all of the hope needed within us, to have the faith to live it. This is who we are in Christ Jesus; this is the hope of the Seed that bore us. This is the will of God, that sin and all of its power against us should be removed from us, and He did it! God did it with the perfect Blood of our Savior and His Son Jesus! People who want to hang out and preach on the errors and weakness of the flesh are preaching an erroneous message. We preach Christ and His strength, and we preach it because of Him. Sin is not imputed unto us and we preach this because His Seed remains within us. We are perfected in God’s love and there is no fear with this Truth, and there is no fear in the Truth that as He is so are we in this world. Because it’s God within us doing all of the works of His righteousness! True preachers of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, the Gospel of Freedom, the Gospel of Liberty, direct the hearer’s attention towards God and His abilities, not towards man and our inabilities! Faith is not a human ability to accept God’s Truths, faiths is God’s ability through us to accept His Truths, and God has given every man the measure of faith!

"Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is. If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself will be saved; yet so as by fire." 1 Corinthians 3:13-15 The wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is life eternal through Jesus Christ. We may not always do what is right, but our actions are never counted as sin against us, and we never loose our salvation because of them. If a person is truly saved, I mean truly saved, he cannot sin. There is no law to convict him with, because Jesus has removed the law and all of the ordinances and handwritings that were against us. Jesus remains in us, He never leaves us or forsakes us! For the person who has truly been empowered by the Holy SPirit to accept Jesus as Lord, God is now the One Who removes anything that would be contrary to producing righteous fruit through them. There is complete and total freedom through Christ Jesus, and Jesus said we are to take no thought for our own lives, because God has taken every thought for them!

If your first thought in this freedom is now to go and commit some evil act, or to do someone harm, I want to invite you to be saved. This freedom from sin inspires us to walk in power and demonstration of the Spirit. This freedom inspires us to ask for our Father to move in power through our lives, because the fear of sin has been done away with, the fear of messing up, the fear of disappointing our Father, and the fear of loosing our salvation. This freedom is only available for those who truly accept Jesus, no one is able to fool God, and so no one will fake their way in! If you, or someone that you tell this to, first reaction is, "I have freedom to go do harmful or mean acts," salvation has not been accepted or received. Our Father has made us free to be the tools of His righteousness, not the workers of iniquities! If someone has truly been chosen by God to accept Jesus as Lord and has truly become one with Him, they are united with His Spirit and His will, His desires and His hopes, His faith and His love. They will act like Him, not like the fallen one. We are born from God’s Incorruptible Seed. We are members of His body, flesh of His flesh, and bone of His bone, and there is no fellowship between righteousness and unrighteousness!

Pray and ask God for a full understanding and wisdom in this. If we can get the church to get past worrying about sin, think of where we can move to in our Father. Think of the power, the faith, the healings, the prophecies, the love, and the unity. Remember all of the scriptures that say that we are one with God and that He lives within us. Remember the scriptures that say we are holy, blameless, sanctified, perfect, and godly because of our unity with Christ. This just builds on those scriptural Truths. We are one with Jesus, so we are perfect and sanctified, and since we are perfect and sanctified, we have been delivered from the Law, and because of Jesus we cannot sin! "Beloved if our heart condemn us not, then we have confidence toward God. And whatsoever we ask, we receive of Him, because we keep His commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in His sight." 1 John 3:21-22
