What your church gets wrong about Easter: Part Three
It was Augustine (354-430 A.D.) who summarized life by stating, "Love God, and do what you will." His words were not an invitation to hedonism, but instead were recognition of Jesus' promise that his call was not a burden.
The Apostle Paul would state, "You died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God" (Colossians 3:3). To understand Augustine and Paul's meaning we have to go back to the words of Norman Grubb from part one, "You can't live the Christian life."
Ask people what they believe religion is about and eventually you will come to a discussion about what they believe is right and wrong and which rules you supposedly have to follow.
Yet when Jesus declared "It is finished" from the cross, his words could not have been clearer. As Paul stated, "God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting men's sins against them" (2 Corinthians 5:19).
Everything that needed to be done for salvation was completed in Christ. As Jesus shared, "I tell you the truth, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be condemned; he has crossed over from death to life" (John 5:24).
The writer of Hebrews would proclaim it like this; "By one sacrifice he has made perfect forever those who are being made holy" (Hebrews 10:14).
Or consider the book of Romans simple declaration; "We died to sin" (Romans 6:2).
In statement after statement, all in the past tense, scripture reaffirms over and over that it is finished. This is not some future promise but a present day reality in Christ.
When we apprehend by revelation the promise of "This mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory" (Col. 1:27) and recognize that we have died and our life is hidden in Christ we can then understand that now in him we are "the righteousness of God" (2 Cor. 5:21).
What does this mean in plain English? Simply put, in Christ you cannot sin regardless of how many guilt trips you put on yourself or others place on you in their own religiosity.
The Apostle also stated, "I died to the law" (Gal. 2:19), which cannot be separated from his statement, "The power of sin is the law" (1 Cor. 15:56).
Where does sin gain it strength? From the law, the lists of do's and don'ts people constantly talk about. Why? Because people try to keep rules, even biblical "rules" they can't possibly keep and end up condemning themselves by their believed failure.
The gospel message, the promise of the resurrection of Jesus is that in his sacrifice sin was destroyed, and by his perfect life now lived in us we are righteous and already perfect and holy by his offering. We do nothing but receive the promise by his grace.
You can't live the Christian life. You were never meant to, only Jesus can and now in you he does without your help because it is finished.
Still don't believe it? Hold onto your hats for part four when we see what purpose the Old Testament and the Ten Commandments really serve and answer the question on everyone's mind, "If I can't sin, then why do I keep on sinning?"

What college team do you love to HATE and why?
I love to hate the OU Sooners. They have (IN MY OPINION) some of the most fairweather fans in the NCAA. The worst part is I live 30 min. from Norman OK and I have to deal with this crap all year long. I do think they have a superb coaching staff (thanks in part to Bill Snyder) and some excellent players. Its just the uneducated, redneck, boastful BOZO's that make me root against them. I realize not all Sooner fans are this way. But if your team has ever played the Sooners, you know what I'm talking about. They ALWAYS have an exuse other than mistakes on the field for losing too.
Another reason I LOVE to HATE OU is that ridiculous "Boomer Sooner" song. I guess it's the only thing a bunch of drunk rednecks can remember the words too!!!
I'm with ya. I hate Oklahoma. Bob Stoops with his lips all in the air. And how the hell did they jump over USC to get the title game in '04 vs LSU when K-State and Darren Spoles blasted them in the Big XII title game? I also hate Florida, Notre Dame, and Miami.
