Blessed is the man to whom the Lord shall not impute sin. Romans 4:8

As a prophet, Isaiah was used to speak one of the greatest revelations that man can receive from God: the justification of man before the Perfect, Pure and Holy One. With that information, our limitations before the Almighty are done. Nothing more separates us from the One who is Lord and Life, for we are one with Him, by faith and the Spirit that He gave us. Thus, we can carry out the same works Jesus did, and even greater one (John 14:12). 

Just like we are not responsible for our physical appearance, in which the features of our parents are seen, we are also not responsible for Adam´s sin, however, we are born under the rule of evil. We carry the marks of sin that separated man from the Creator, but, now, recreated in Christ (Ephesians 2:10), we carry His mark. Our position before the Father is perfect, pure and holy. Hallelujah!

Jesus came for us to be redeemed from sin and its consequences, that came upon mankind in the fall of Adam and Eve. Their act, which seemed apparently simple, was responsible for the chaos and pain that came to exist in our world and drew us away from the Father. However, by the blood of Christ, we have drawn nearer to the Lord, and nothing can separate us from His love. Rejoice! 

It is important to understand the justification of our position in God. When we understand it, we have dignity before the Most High once again and, with that, we enter divine presence with the freedom and necessary respect for us to be accepted and answered by the Lord. We are the prodigal son that returned home and was welcomed with sandals, the best robe and a ring, instead of being placed in the pigpen! 

To be of Christ means: to be exempt from the feeling of unworthiness and be able to assume your position as a prince in order to rule with justice (Isaiah 32:1). Why accept the devil´s lie and eat of the forbidden fruit again? Only speak what God says. There is no more condemnation for those who are in Christ (Romans 8:1). Wake up! The Lord does not impute sin upon you, but holiness! Live such blessing! 

As long as indignity dwells in your heart, your intercession will always initiate with an apology and plead for forgiveness. If I had forgiven my son´s mistake, but whenever he talked to me, he began saying that he wasn´t worthy and always asked for forgiveness, I would not be pleased. Be alert and pray! 

The truth is that, in these days we live, because we were justified in the blood of Christ, we have peace with God (Romans 5:1). Why do we believe in the lies of man and not the truth of Scripture? Now, the Bible simply does not lie. Therefore, stop speaking what the devil wants you to say, assume your position in Jesus and be delivered from all evil! 

In Christ, with love,
