Romans 6! Dead to Sin, Alive to Christ

God's Design:
This is how people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another (John 13:35). This "love for one another" means that you lay down your life (John 15:13) for a friend and "what I want to do" dies and WHAT GOD HAS DESIGNED YOU TO DO, will LIVE.Show more

If you love me, keep my commands (John 14:15). God recognizing that we have a "competition" in what we want to love or treasure. So, He says that if we want to show how much we treasure the commands of Jesus, then we show how much we treasure Jesus by KEEPING THE COMMANDS.

Trust in Me with all your heart. Lean on me and not your understanding. In everything, I come first. (Proverbs 3:5,6) Love your enemies as you love yourself (Mark 12:30)
If you cannot trust others, you cannot trust God. If your fight is with people, you are fighting against God's creation.

Satan's Design:
I can live a life where what I want to do or how I understand life is how I am going to do.

I can understand life by what I know and I don't need anyone telling me how to live my life.

I trust anyone as far as I can throw them. I won't trust anyone with anything because I know how evil the world can be.

IN REALITY, MY LIFE GETS TRADED AWAY AND SATAN'S IDENTITY GETS TRADED IN. THEN, IT IS THE IDENTITY OF SATAN/SIN WAGING WAR AGAINST THE CREATION OF GOD AND WHEN IT IS HUMANITY AGAINST HUMANITY, THAT WILL ALWAYS PRESENT AN INVITATION FOR THE PRINCIPALITY OF DEATH TO COME CLAIM LIVES AS HUMANS BECOME UNNECESSARY SACRIFICIAL ALTARS.
