I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your flesh: for as ye have yielded your members servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity; even so now yield your members servants to righteousness unto holiness.
Rom 6:19
It's the "accepted time". It's the time of righteousness.
*[[Mal 4:2]] KJV* But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall.
If you had long dwelt in sin, now that you're freed from sin, it's time for dwelling in righteousness. We have been drunk with sin like water, eaten sin like chewing gum, embraced to sin like Cinderella, wallow in unrighteousness of various forms; oh! we're a new creation of righteousness now! Alleluia!
It's time to master righteousness! You've been professor in analysing sin? You'll analyse righteousness in a better way now! Been an addicted night club drunkard? Now you'll be a church man. Time to drink righteousness like water, eat righteousness like Christmas meal, make merry in what Christ has done for you and cease to celebrate sinfulness.
God's grace is greater than sin: your righteous reign will surely surpass the way sin grabbed you and made a fun of you in its tyrannical reign. You were forgiven much, so love much.
I am using words in the way of men, because your flesh is feeble: as you gave your bodies as servants to what is unclean, and to evil to do evil, so now give them as servants to righteousness to do what is holy. When you were servants of sin you were free from righteousness. What fruit had you at that time in the things which are now a shame to you? for the end of such things is death. But now, being free from sin, and having been made servants to God, you have your fruit in that which is holy, and the end is eternal life. For the reward of sin is death; but what God freely gives is eternal life in Jesus Christ our Lord. *[[Rom 6:19-23]] BBE
Amen.
Amen.
