A BORN AGAIN CHRISTIAN, SEALED BY THE HOLY GHOST, CANNOT
GET AWAY WITH ANYTHING. This seal of the Spirit is like a watchman on the wall.
Even the presence of sin makes the heart tremble. A “Born Again Christian” that
protects the seal of the Holy Ghost will have a conscience so pure that living
in sin is impossible. This is the lifestyle that was preached by John Wesley,
Martin Luther, John Calvin, and the great leaders of the past.
This generation of compromisers has developed a theology
of “sinning religion”. A person that proclaims, “I am a saved sinner” is in
direct rebellion against the perfect Word of God. Listen to the Apostle Paul
speaking to the Church at Ephesus.
“That ye put off concerning the former
conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts;
And be renewed in the spirit of your mind; And that ye put on the new man,
which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness. Wherefore
putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbour: for we are
members one of another. Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon
your wrath: Neither give place to the devil. Let him that stole steal no more:
but rather let him labour, working with his hands the thing which is good, that
he may have to give to him that needeth. Let no corrupt communication proceed
out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may
minister grace unto the hearers.” (Ephesians 4: 22-29)
A born again Christian is a “new creation”. He has
passed from darkness to light and from sin to righteousness. To the Romans,
Paul said, “Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body
of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin. For he that
is dead is freed from sin.” (Romans 6: 6-7)
The real truth is that our churches
are full of members that have never been “Born Again”. Religion alone will
leave the soul bound to the old life and hopelessly lost, but a radical “New
Birth” will change the total person.
Does that mean a born again person never sins again? No,
it does not. But, it means that he will grow and become stronger on a regular
basis. He will show the new life by his godliness and holiness. Apostle
John said it beautifully. “My little children, these things write I unto you,
that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus
Christ the righteous: And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours
only, but also for the sins of the whole world. And hereby we do know that we
know him, if we keep his commandments. "He that saith, I know him, and keepeth
not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.” (1 John 2: 1-4)
Sealed by the Holy Spirit is the power that keeps the soul. Notice this
promise. “And grieve not the Holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the
day of redemption.” (Ephesians 4: 30)
The “Born Again” life is the greatest life on the face of
this earth. The sacrifice of Christ’s blood has broken the powers of sin. We
are now called unto holiness. “For if we sin willfully after that we have
received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for
sins.” (Hebrews 10:26)
The most powerful subject in Holy Scripture is, “YE MUST
BE BORN AGAIN”. Yet it is so reduced in today’s Church that the majority of
Church members do not know the transformation that occurs. If a person is “BORN
AGAIN” he is a “New Creature In Christ”. Please take time to listen to the
Sermons I am preaching on this subject. “For after that in the wisdom of God
the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of
preaching to save them that believe.” (I Corinthians 1:21) God’s plan for
saving souls is the preaching of the Gospel and there is no backup plan.
