THE PROVISION OF VICTORY (cont'd)

To be unwilling is to guarantee that God will step in to make sure His Word is not broken and that means chastisement. OUCH! Not a good thing. “For whom the Lord loveth He chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom He receiveth.” Heb.12:6. If He has received you as His child, then you will be chastened. The more you run away from Him the more you will be chastened. On the other hand, the more you seek to serve Him, the more He will bless you. To be a willing servant of God is to be blessed of God. To the faithful servant Jesus will say, “Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy Lord.” Matt. 25:21. So we have a choice to make. Paul points out for us this choice, “Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord. Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof. Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God.” Romans 6:11-13. It is time to reject sin and submit ourselves to the righteousness of God. It is time for us to choose which path we will take, the willing or the unwilling path. Romans the 8th chapter hammers away at this. Read it and carefully consider what it says. Choose rightly. If you have trouble with your chooser, ask God to help you with your chooser, and as you spend time in the Word of God He will change your chooser and give you the power to defeat sin and live for Him. This power you already have because God has guaranteed it when Jesus completed the work of salvation on the cross. You simply must accept it by faith. Increase your faith through the Word of God! Serve Jesus!
