Expired Dietary

This pack of milk has an expiry date labeled on it. After the expiry date, it is not advisable to consume simply for our health reason. We are conscious of this for our physical body; but what about our born again spirit...? Is our spirit consuming the expired dietary?

The law of the old covenant had expired at the cross because Jesus had fulfilled all the requirements of the law and nailed them at the cross.

If anyone is still teaching you on law abiding, pointing you to the Saints of the old covenant like, Moses, Joseph, Elijah, David, Solomon and so on, and teaching you to learn from the good of these Saints and to avoid doing the bad of these Saints without filtering their doctrine through the cross or the finished work of Christ, they are actually feeding you with an expired dietary. And you, being a born again believer, have been robbed of the prestigious standing that Jesus died to give you.

If these Saints who, being the best at their times, can saved themselves by their law keeping and good behavior, Jesus would not have to come and died for us on the cross. The law condemned the best of man like David and grace saves the worse of us like me and you.

What is the dietary for the New Covenant Christian then? Well, obviously Jesus did not come to teach us how to do good and how not to do bad. He came to give us life and life more abundantly. He is the Tree of Life! Every religions teach us to do good and not to do bad and man after all these year, still fails, one after another! Try to recall from your biblical knowledge... Who is the fellow who suggested to Jesus on turning the stones into bread? ... and who is that fellow encourage you to feed on the stones?

The Bible said in 2 Corinthians 5:17 ~ “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!” Jesus had make us a new creation by giving us a new birth (born again in the Spirit). If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation, the old has gone, the new has come! If we, for a moment, just being simple hearted and believe in what this verse means, we would have saved ourselves from a lot of struggles or even troubles.

The dietary for the new creation is to feed on Jesus and Jesus alone. Jesus that is after the glorious cross and not before the cold and ragged cross.

Titus 2:11~12 ~ For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all man. It teaches us to say "No" to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age.

The position and standing of a new creation is in Christ. Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. A new creation has nothing bad to be changed from. Just feed on the revelation of what Jesus had done on the cross. Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ! We, as a new creation, are to find out how finished is His finished work and how forgiven we are in Christ. Our only labour is to labour ourselves to enter into His rest and receive the abundance of His grace and the gift of His righteousness.

Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. This verse was spoken by Jesus before the cross. After the cross, the resurrected Jesus instructs us to receive the abundant provision of grace and the gift of righteousness and we will reign in life through Him. By filtering the word of God through the cross, we will avoid eating the expired dietary...
