Profound Truth

The Word of God stands as absolute truth. Let every person be a liar while the Word of God remains true. It is vital to trust in God's Word and in the completed work. When Jesus proclaimed "it is finished" upon the cross, it was indeed so. The Scripture teaches us that those who are united with Christ have put to death the flesh with its inclinations and cravings. This truth applies to all who belong to Christ: the new believer, the seasoned disciple, the young and old, the fragile and the steadfast in faith. The flesh, along with its desires and cravings, has been crucified. While I may still stumble, struggle with anger, battle addictions, and wrestle with lust, my personal encounters or emotions do not alter the reality that God's Word is true. He declared that my flesh has been crucified, and I must heed His Word above my encounters and feelings. If we fixate on our circumstances, personal encounters, and emotions, the realization of our flesh being crucified will escape us. We must set aside our sentiments and experiences. Rely on His Word. Embracing God’s Word will lead to the encounter. At the moment when Jesus was crucified on the cross, our flesh was also crucified. God views our flesh as already crucified, an accomplished fact. Therefore, even though sin may still hold sway in our lives, in God’s eyes, our flesh with its desires has already been put to death. Let us trust in God’s Word and affirm: God declares that my flesh has been crucified, and so I believe it has. By responding to God’s Word with unwavering faith, we will come to experience its reality
