SWS-27
Wearing the helmet of Salvation’s JUSTIFICATION component means:
I behave like I know my status has changed.
God erased the record of all my sins.
Romans 5:1 Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.
Because of our sin—we are all guilty convicts in God’s sight; so we need justification.
So Christ died to take guilty convicts and destroy any record that they ever committed a crime and takes their place in the punishment—that’s justification! A Sinner stands before God as accused and is declared righteous by His imputed righteousness.
But justification is only for those who confess their crimes (sins) to the judge (God) and ask for His pardon and forgiveness. All of those who refuse to believe they are a guilty, hopelessly sinful convict in Christ’s eyes are denied any relief from the penalty of their sins—both now and forever.
Have you experienced the peace of justification, all guilt removed, all punishment forever taken away from God’s sight?
Wearing the helmet of Salvation’s REGENERATION component means:
I behave like I know my heart is brand new.
God gave me a new Heart.
Ezekiel 36:26-27 I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; I will take the heart of stone out of your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. 27 I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you will keep My judgments and do them.
Because of our sin—we are all dead in our trespasses and sin; so we need regeneration.
So Christ died to take dead and rotting spiritual corpses and make them vibrant, full of endless life and brand new—that’s regeneration!
Have you experienced the power of an endless life, and every day partaking of the powerful presence within of the very Lord God Almighty?
