Do you have some pitch???????

Good afternoon everyone! Had a problem with my internet this morning and it's working now. Sorry so late with today's devotion. Yesterday, we talked about Galatians 2:20 at the end of the devotion "NOT I BUT CHRIST" I thought some more about this and if you are born again you are in Christ. Once that happens you have it made. Not a life of easy living but, a guarenteed spot on the last tribal council. Sorry, I have been watching survivor lately. Let's dig into some of the good stuff and see what it say's about all this......

Bible verse: Romans 8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.

What do you think it means to be "in Christ Jesus?" This is a great question. Well, I think that if we were in prison on death row and the judge said "set him free, I find in not guilty now." What would that mean? Well, it would mean that I were free to go. See, we're all on a death row. We all ready have a death sentence for breaking God's laws and continuing to break them. And without Jesus we would have no hope at all. Jesus is our pardon. Jesus is out get out of jail free card. God offered us freedom from the death sentence and the sin and freely gives us the power to do His will. All we have to do is accept the wonderful free gift and repent. OK, now check this out!

Have you ever thought about what is was like for Noah to be in the ark? Besides everyone laughing at him. Was the ark waterproof? How do we know this? Because God to Noah, "put pitch on the inside and outside" in Genesis 6:14. Let's look at the word "pitch" in Hebrew it is "kapar" and that word also translates out to mean "atonement." What does that word mean, Webster's dictionary say's it means "something done to make up for wrong doing, etc.; amends." Now can you see that, we are in Jesus as Noah was in the ark. We can weather the storms when we are protected by Jesus. When Jesus is our pitch. God sends storms of wrath but, we are in Jesus and they can't come through Him. Thank God that we have Jesus to help us weather the storms. Guy's, do we have the "pitch" of Jesus on the inside and out of our lives? Can you see it? Can others see it? Let's Examine ourselves today. Maybe we need to check ourselves and get on the narrow path. Have a great day, I love you, and God bless!
