Is it hard for us to believe that Jesus in His humanity could maintain an absolutely pure, sinless mind during His 33 1/2 years in this world? Is it possible for anyone in human flesh, even under the power of God, to reach such a point of victory over sin?
The Bible answer is clear: "For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God) … Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ" (2 Corinthians 10:3–5).
This promise is made concerning sinners in the flesh who turn to the delivering power of the gospel. How much more would our blessed Lord, with no acquired propensities for sin, be able to claim His Father's enabling strength to keep from sinning! The Word of God assures us that we may partake of the divine nature of Jesus and have the "mind of Christ."
His sinless experience in the flesh is a guarantee that any of us may have the same victory if we will depend upon the Father as He did through the habitual registry that we create in our sub-conscious mind.
This means that in overcoming sin He had no advantage over us. He fought the enemy in the same nature and by the same spiritual weapons that are available to us. If He had any advantage over other men it was simply that his inherent human nature was never further debilitated by personal indulgence in sin.
Can we equal the perfect pattern of Jesus' sinless life?
No. All of us have degraded human nature further by giving way to the flesh. Not only have we brought the curse of death upon ourselves by breaking God's law, but we have also made ourselves more vulnerable to Satan by cooperating with him.
Jesus never responded to a single sinful stimulus, and Satan could find nothing in Him. He lived all His life with the surrendered mind and will of the fully sanctified. He committed no sins to be atoned for.
But even though we cannot equal the pattern, we should seek earnestly to reflect that holy life of Jesus as fully as possible. By the grace of God, we may put away every known sin and be perfect in our sphere with no consciousness of cherished wrongdoing by simply training our sub-conscious mind to do so (which is not simple).
Does that mean we will be boasting about living without sin? On the contrary, the closer we come to Christ, the more we will sense our unworthiness. Those who attain the standard of Christ will be the last ever to recognize it, much less boast of it.
How could the devil be proven wrong?
God had to provide a demonstration that would forever silence the adversary. It was a long, painful demonstration that led the mighty Creator God to step down into a human body of fallen man and, within the limits of that nature, to overcome everything Satan could hurl against Him.
Had He utilized any divine power to overcome sin that was not available to others in the flesh, Satan would have used it to bolster his claims that no one could keep God's law.
At the cross, Jesus demonstrated to the entire universe that Satan was wrong. He had proven that it was possible, in the flesh, to be obedient through dependence on the Father.
In summary,
we can see how the ancient error of Adam's imputed guilt has led to a chain of related deceptions. The most significant truths of salvation have been cleverly counterfeited. The humanity of Jesus has been denied, the imparted righteousness of Christ has been challenged, and the possibility of victory over sin has been ridiculed. It is only as we recognize the basic falsehood that we can avoid the perversions that follow. May God give us the wisdom to stand firmly upon the word alone and to reject every doctrine that is not rooted in Him.
"Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honour, and power, and might, be unto our God for ever and ever. Amen" (Revelation 7:12).
Train your mind not to sin!
Is it possible! Do baby sin? “No” then who taught them to do so when they grow?
Is sin pre-programmed in to human brains? If “No” then how did we get in doing sin!
Who thought us consuming Alcohol or Smoking tobacco or stimulant drugs are good for our health and will help us live longer ever healthier and happier?
There are still many questions that will make you think little deeper.
The answer starts and ends with our sub-conscious mind.
Sub-conscious mind is the supreme power in our body that controls all our senses. It can switch on or off senses when required in the way it’s programmed by us (Knowingly or Unknowingly)
We have programmed our mind (e.g: going to office on time is a must where as going to churches on times depends upon your body condition, traffic, weather and lot more)
Hence EOD it’s you who program yourself to commit sin or stay away from it.
When you can train your sub-conscious mind to commit sin, why cant you train your sub-conscious mind Not to sin.
You can do that by simple exercise that you may need to repeat until your sub-conscious mind is trained and keep up the exercise that suits you the most depending upon the atmosphere you are living in.
There are simple innovative and creative ways that you can train your Sub-Conscious mind not to sin, you can create your own exercise with the help of Holy Spirit, He will help you construct a best exercise against different kind of sins that you think you are in you may fear you may get in to it.
When you opt to train your sub-conscious mind not to sin, consciously pray to almighty to help you construct a best exercise plan for your sub-conscious mind. For sure he will do it more willingly for you than ever before because he knows you are trying to hit the right spot where there is a great need of heavenly guidance and will power to proceed with confidence.
Once you have trained your sub-conscious mind to overcome and shatter various sin’s that you thought lethal, now you are on the track of Auto-Piloting your spiritual life.
When your spiritual life is auto-piloted for sure you will reach your destination effortlessly but still auto-pilot needs manual conscious constant supervision in case of unexpected turbulences that you may encounter for which the sub-conscious mind is not trained. Hence manual effort to keep you on track is required but the efforts will be very less.
Purity of a human lies in his thought!
Thanks & Regards,
