Man doesn't want to believe that there is therefore no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, who don't walk according to the flesh but according to the spirit, whereby spirit here also attests to the person of Jesus, for to believe is to not live according to the flesh.
Many read the bible, which is the word of truth: they see the truth,
then go for the lies. But where does the lie come from? It is from human's inability to accept what is true or right. It is a feeling that Jesus is not enough. The word says, our sins have been forgiven, but the mind says, 'what of the lie I told just now, is that covered to? It can't be!'.
Wait, when you believed in the law obtained from the old book, was it not the bible you read? When you also saw the truth that Jesus came to save us and fulfill the laws in the old book, why did you say it's impossible, was it not the same bible? Why then believe the old testament and reject the new, was it not the same God the two books point out too?
The new book says His grace is sufficient for us and you disagree because, if you believe, that means you no longer have to feel the guilt of sin and that Christ has redeemed you completely, you don't want to believe that your deepest sins can just vanish with just two things: believe in your heart and confess with your mouth that Jesus was raised from the dead and this Jesus' death killed your sin and his resurrection brought you to life.
Man doesn't want to believe that there is therefore no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, who don't walk according to the flesh but according to the spirit, whereby spirit here also attests to the person of Jesus, for to believe is to not live according to the flesh. The flesh summons unbelief, the spirit summons a conformity with God's heart and that is why the flesh cannot please God or align with the truth.
Some still believe that I must say that word, 'Jesus forgive me' on their death beds before giving up the ghost when Jesus had already said that on their behalf over 2015 years ago 'It is finished'. If you want to say 'Jesus forgive me' on your death bed, fine; but the same Jesus you ask says, 'Your sins have been forgiven', is there still a need for death bed crisis?
Jesus has saved us eternally.
