PRACTICAL CHRISTIANITY - MEDITATE DAY AND NIGHT
May 18th, 2026.
One of the most difficult bridges to cross after we have surrendered our lives to Jesus Christ is the bridge from sin to acquaintance. This is because the sentencing carries no guilt and no punishment. There are no consequences to be faced, only ‘take your mat and walk’ (John 5:8). Or ‘go and sin no more’. You ask yourself, is that it! Can I truly walk free? Then your mind starts to catalog all the sins you have committed and the guilt of these sins weigh heavily on you and you don't feel the freedom. You do not feel whole, you do not feel free. If this is your current state of mind, then GRACE has found you.
“And behold, the word of the Lord came to him, Abram, saying, “This one shall not be your heir, but one who will come from your own body shall be your heir.” Then He brought him outside and said, “Look now toward heaven, and count the stars if you are able to number them.” And He said to him, “So shall your descendants be.” And he believed in the Lord, and He accounted it to him for righteousness.” (Gen. 15:4-6 NKJV) In that instance, several things happened to Abram - faith replaced doubt and fear. Hope was born. Abram was transferred to a highly privileged position in God’s kingdom because he now wears God’s badge of righteousness and honour. He could move in the circle of the honourables. Here is what you may miss in this encounter. Abram was made whole again. He was healed of childlessness in that instance.
Did you accept your healing when you were justified? If you did not or you have not, then you still have some thrash you have not taken out. Justification is a full package of wholeness and wellness. ‘Take up your mat and walk.’ ‘Your faith has made you whole.’ These are not separate packages, they come in the same box of forgiveness. Are you a believer? Have you been justified? Then you have also received healing. Seek the help of the Holy Spirit on how to access your healing.
Why are you not facing the consequences of sin? Justification does not excuse our sin, ignore our sin, or endorse our sin. Rather, our sin is fully punished, Christ having taken our penalty for us. He was our substitute (1 Peter 3:18). Because the wrath of God is satisfied in Christ (Isaiah 53:4–6), we are free from condemnation (Romans 8:1), and God remains both “fair and just, and he makes sinners right in his sight when they believe in Jesus” (Romans 3:26, NLT). Your sin and my sin were punished but we walked free because Jesus paid the price.
THE WORD: “For if, while we were God’s enemies, we were reconciled to him through the death of his Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through his life! Not only is this so, but we also boast in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation.” (Rom. 5:10-11 NIV)
