Too many believers are trying to live by the Law and not by grace. Jesus taught His followers in Matt.5:17(Amp) saying, "Do not think that I have come to do away with or undo the Law of the prophets. I have come not to do away with or undo it but to complete and fulfill them." If you are in Christ Jesus, then in Him you have already fulfilled and completed the Law and the prophets. We are accounted as having done nothing against the Commandments of God, by Grace. Through Jesus, we're accounted as sinless and worthy of the entire Blessing of Abraham.
Under the new covenant, we are the Blessed of the Lord by Christ Jesus. When we partake the Bread at the communion table, we now see that Jesus' body was broken and by it we are made whole. When we see the cup of the covenant, we're to see His Blood poured out for our healing and our wholeness as one body, the Body of Christ. Is.53 tells us how "Jesus bore all of our pain, punishment, chastisement, and the Curse on the cross." In Is.54 we see where God has said that Jesus' Sacrifice on the cross would remove all of God's wrath and rebuke from us forever. God said that this would be like "the waters of Noah," and He will never again do these things to us. Adam's transgression in the Garden brought spiritual separation from God. Jesus' Spiritual separation and His death on the cross and Resurrection made us new and born again from death. Now we have new Life with Jesus and the Father, as His Own family again.
We now live our lives before God as if sin never has been. We remember the Blood that gives Life and healing to our natural bodies, until we receive our new body at the Resurrection. Gen.6:3(Amp) says, "Then the Lord said, My Spirit will not forever dwell and strive with man, for he also is flesh, but his days shall yet be 120 years."
Under our new covenant, we have the Life of God living in our spirit and we have the Blood o Jesus to give Life to our flesh. This Promise is to all who will accept it and live by God's Word of Love. His Grace is more than enough and His Life within us by Jesus' Blood is more than enough. Lev.17:11-14(Amp) says, "The life of all flesh is in the blood." We now have the Blood of Jesus on the Mercy Seat in the Holy of Holies. It speaks on our behalf with health, healing and life for our natural bodies.
Do Christians still get sick and even die, like non-Christians do? Yes, but it's mostly because we don't know or understand what the communion table is about. Paul wrote in 1Cor.11:30(Amp) "This is why some are sick, some are weak, and many have fallen asleep in death, because we didn't understand and judge by the cross our deliverance."
God made the way for us to live free and He doesn't get angry and punish us even when we miss it. His Grace and Mercy will always be available and ready every time we "come boldly to the Throne o Grace to receive Grace and Mercy in our time of need." We're like children who are still learning and growing in His Grace. We still make mistakes that only the Cross could remove. God's Grace is always there to help, according to 1John1:7(Amp) which says, "But if we are really living and walking in the Light, as He Himself is in the Light, we have true unbroken fellowship with one another and the Blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleansed us from sin in all its forms and understandings."
"Walking in the Light as He is the Light, means we're learning and doing as God's Word of Light and the Love commandment instructs. We're to learn how to walk out God's Love walk, which is the Light as He is in the Light. Jesus' Blood will keep us out of and from everything else that the Light hasn't yet revealed to us. Ps.119:130(Amp) says, "The entrance and unfolding of Your Word gives Light, their unfolding gives understanding, and comprehension to the simple." We're children of God through Jesus and our new birth. We have only two commandments to follow. We're to love the Lord our God and love our neighbors as we love ourselves. Jesus said that everything else hinges on these two commandments. 1John1:7(Amp) tells us that even when we sin, "Confession and changing will restore fellowship with one another, and the Blood will still keep us and set us free."
We're to practice the Love walk and everything else, from the Blessing and healing, will work in that Light. It will even prolong our days on this earth, if we want to live 120 years. I believe Jesus will be back way before that, but if not, we still have work to do down here.
