Living Above Sin.

For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace (Romans 6:14).

As a Christian, is it possible to live righteously, above sin? Emphatically yes! That's what Jesus accomplished for us. There're two reasons people sin: "fear" and "selfishness". But God has brought us faith and love to replace fear and selfishness. If you walk by faith, you can't live in fear. If you walk in love, you can't be
selfish. Therefore, if you function in faith and love, you can't sin; nothing done by faith and love could ever be sin.
Love is self-giving. When you love, you give.
The Bible says, "for God so loved the world that He gave..." (John 3:16). Selfishness holds
back; love, unlike selfishness, is considerate and puts others first. 1 John 4:18 says, "There
is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that
feareth is not made perfect in love." If you're born again, you're born of love; you have the nature of love and righteousness, and can live
above sin.
However, if you do something wrong, the Bible says, "...we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous: And he is the
propitiation for our sins..." (1 John 2:1-2).
Then 1 John 1:9 says, "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins,
and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."
The word, "confess" is the Greek word, "homologia" and it means, "to make a
declaration". However, in this context, the right synonym is "to acknowledge".
If we acknowledge our sins, God is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. Therefore, all you need to do is to say, "Father, I acknowledge that these things that I've done are wrong and I receive forgiveness, in the Name of Jesus".
That's how you live free from sin and sin- consciousness.

PRAYER:
Dear Father, I thank you for your grace, and the power of your righteousness at work in
me! I live free from sin and sin-consciousness because I walk by faith, and manifest the love of Christ! I walk in the liberty of the Spirit today, and always, in Jesus' Name. Amen.

Further Study:
*John 8:36 If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed. ;
*Galatians 5:1 Stand fast therefore in the liberty
wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.

FAITH IT!
YOUR VICTORY IS IN YOUR HEART AND IN YOUR MOUTH: Don’t complain about the
predicament you are in; TALK TO IT!!!. COMMAND A CHANGE in the NAME OF JESUS! YOUR VICTORY IS IN YOUR MOUTH....SPEAK IT !!! Jesus said to His disciples right after He
cursed the fig tree, "…Verily I say unto you, If you have faith, and doubt not, you shall not
only do this which is done to the fig tree, but also if YOU shall SAY unto this mountain, BE REMOVED, and BE CAST into the sea, IT SHALL BE DONE" (Matthew 21:21). THIS IS THE WAY TO AFFECT A CHANGE IN ANY SITUATION IN
YOUR LIFE; "NAME IT AND SPEAK TO IT... YOU HAVE TO DECLARE WORDS OF FAITH...."
Have a WONDERFUL DAY, DECLARING YOUR VICTORY.

I say I speak the "truth" without comforting my self with quoting and deciphering them for others! I pray all would do that!

Wait.....isn't living "under" sin easier?

Bullshite, the lot of it! Living above sin? How, have you got a flat above a brothel?

Jesus lived above sin. we are mere humans. even though we try to do our best we still do wrongs
