Right Now We Are Holy

But now since you have been set free from sin and have become the slaves of God, you have your present reward in holiness and its end is eternal life. For the wages which sin pays is death, but the [bountiful] free gift of God is eternal life through (in union with) Jesus Christ our Lord. Romans 6:22-23

How many times have you heard someone say that: the wage of sin is death? I hear it all of the time, people are fixated on this confession. They have tremendous faith in it. Preachers and congregations both quote it with fervor and enthusiasm. Yet in the verse right before it, our Father clearly tells us that we have been set free from sin and that presently we are holy. Now ask yourself how many times have you heard it preached with equal enthusiasm and fervor that we are now free from sin and that we are presently holy?

This should be the powerful sermon and testimony that we are giving. We are free from sin and presently holy because our Father gave us the gift of being in Christ. We are now one with Jesus and as He is, so are we, even while we are in this world. We have been sanctified by Christ. We have been given Jesus’ glory and because our Father has given us all of these wonderful gifts, we have eternal life. The wage of sin does not apply to us, we have been freed from it, the gift of God however does apply to us. Now, in Christ, we have been set free from sin. There is now no more condemnation for us, because now is the day of our salvation.

Pass this Truth on. Sow this seed and watch the freedom grow. Watch people actually begin to live as they should, because the Truth will set them free.
