—Shabbat Shalom. A bit of spiritual truth and insight for you this beautiful Saturday morning:
Until that marvelous day when we are taken up to meet Jesus face to face, the sin-nature will unfortunately reside in our flesh, but do not fear! We are loved by the Father through Christ Jesus and He has given us every perfect gift necessary to combat the flesh by His Word and by His Spirit. The reality is this: We are imperfect men and women, being made perfect daily by His Word and the regeneration by His Spirit.
Jesus was the only human, who is also fully God, to walk the earth and resist the sin-nature of mankind. Now, Jesus knew temptation well, but did not sin, just as it is written: “We have a High Priest who has been tempted in every way, just as we are, yet He did not sin.”(1)
