With Christmas around the corner the worries about gift giving surfaces along with the stress. But, once the time comes to give out those gifts the surprise will come once the gifts are opened. People will either love the gift you gave or hate it and request a gift receipt. Now, when we were born and came out of the womb we were born into a box, a box of unbelief and bondage; at least most of us. We were prisoners of our desires and passions; slaves of sin, in a box. You have heard that we need to step out of the box to see things more clearly and this applies to the religious sect. In order to step out of the box the box needs to be opened and the only way that box can be opened is through faith. Now, faith alone is not enough the bible tells us that faith without works is dead(Jm2:20). The law of sin and death states that if a man sins he will die, and this law is that box of which we were born into. But, when Christ came he provided a way for us to come out of the box and that is through faith in him.<\/p>\n
Galatians 3:23-23<\/p>\n
23\u00a0<\/span><\/sup>But before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed. <\/span> 24\u00a0<\/span><\/sup>Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us<\/i> unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith. <\/span> 25\u00a0<\/span><\/sup>But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster. <\/span> 26\u00a0<\/span><\/sup>For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.<\/span><\/p>\n Being in the faith is freedom to call the things which can not be seen to being seen; the invisible things of God (Ro1:20). So, when we are out of the box we can freely claim things that have not come and with God’s timing they will come (He11:1-3). Being out of the box as living by faith we have justification from sin (Ro5:1-4). Out of the box is freedom from any guilt, low esteem, bondage from sin, It is total freedom. When one is in a box there is only so much space one has to move. Whereas, when one is out of the box all things are possible for him\/her (Mk9:23-24).\u00a0 This father’s son was possessed with a demon which cast him in the fire and tried to destroy him, but because of his unbelief Jesus’ disciples could not cast him out. When he recognized that he was boxed in unbelief he called out to be taken out of the box. It pleases God when we are out of the box (Heb11:6).<\/p>\n With Christmas around the corner the worries about gift giving surfaces along with the stress.
