25
The individual born of the Spirit of the Lord will quickly recognize the calling of the Spirit and the Word to be a new person. Jesus said that it is impossible to serve two masters. People will live under the guidance of the ruler of darkness, the god of this world or they will walk in the light of the Lord. There is no other choice. This is an either or else situation for the life of each and every person who lives on this globe. Anyone who is trying to walk with one foot in the world and the other in Christ is deceiving themselves. God and mammon (riches and all of its possessions and power), both may not be served at one and the same time. Luke 16:13.
The ungodly, the unrighteous are excluded from the kingdom of the Lord. There is no possibility of them obtaining a part or an entrance in to the eternal presence of the Lord. The Apostle Paul gave a list of sinful acts committed by mankind and emphasizing the fact that they are not to be admitted to the kingdom. The new man is freed from these corrupting works and acts of the old nature, the sinful man.
1 Cor. 6:9-10 Then he changed pace and includes them all as citizens of that glorious kingdom. The reason is, that what we once were, now in Christ, we are no longer. The Spirit of the Lord working in us will wash away the sin of the past by the blood of Christ. He will sanctify, and cleanse from the former works and habits of sin. The new man is justified before the Lord, not in his sin, but from all sin. We are given a right standing before the Lord. Made righteous by His power and Word displayed in our lives. 1 Cor. 6:11.
We have perfect communication with the Lord, by His Spirit and by the Word. If we have ears to hear, the Spirit of the Lord will speak to us through the Word and we will be led by the Spirit as sons of the Most High. Rom. 8:14 Such Divine guidance brings assurance into the heart that one has been accepted as a son of God. No longer a stranger or foreigner but now adopted as a true son of God. Granted all the rights and privileges of every other member of the family. It is the Spirit who reveals to us the status that we now enjoy in Christ Jesus. As children, graciously received and acknowledged, the new man is included in the inheritance which is to be found in the Lord Jesus Christ. With everything, that He has inherited there is an equal portion for each and every Son of God. All of the spiritual, eternal blessings which are His are shared and shared alike. There is no shortage of the glory of the Lord. Rom. 8:16-17.
