Someone
said to me, righteousness is very hard and I asked why she said so, and she
said all the temptations from the world make it hard to obey God’s word totally
and be righteous. Then I replied it’s easier to live righteously than to live
sinfully; it takes more strength to do evil and live sinfully than it takes to
do live righteously.
How
is that possible she asked? Then I said, in living righteously, you don’t live
by your strength but by God’s strength which is always available and sufficient
for any one that wants to live righteously and has surrendered to the Lordship
of Christ Jesus.
The
reason we say righteousness is costly to achieve is because we try it with the
strength of the flesh or by an unregenerated heart. Carnality can’t give birth
to holy-living its only the Holy Ghost’s grace that makes Holiness an easy fit
for us.
Christ
told the disciples with man is impossible to be Holy but with God, is so so
easy to be Holy.
If
you are struggling with living righteously is because you are not using the
power of the HolyGhost but trying by your own accord.
Is
possible and very easy not to sin, those that says that is impossible to live a
day without sinning doesn’t know God’s word or the power of God. Infact the
bible says He that is born of the Lord doesn’t sin because the seed of God
(grace to live righteously) is in him (1Jo 3:9).
But
Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with
God all things are possible. Mt 19:26
When
you are born of God, sin becomes the impossible, the very difficult to do;
Holiness becomes easier to be and unrighteousness difficult.
God
bless you
