The dealings of the CROSS and the believers separation from the world

THE CROSS AND OUR SEPARATION FROM THE WORLD

 Here is the response to one of the feedbacks received on yesterday's post on PRICELESS TRUTH👇

"If our hearts are not separated from love of the world, our soul life has not yet submitted to the dealings through the CROSS."

 I decided to share this here also, feeling it could be instructive and helpful.

 Feedback:

"Good morning sir, how do you mean sir?"

 Thanks for checking this out and attempting a meditation... 😁I am glad you commented!

Permit me starting this way. Our heart is the initiating point of our words, actions and thoughts either good, bad, sensual or pure. This has made it one of the devils crucial point of suppressing the christian and keeping him out of terms with God. Once the devil succeeds in influencing your heart; your thoughts, decisions, reactions and affection can not be divine talk less of Spiritual. This is why so many Christians are not experiencing full victory over sin and the soul or self life.

Lover of God, we must come to understand that the soul life is worldly and it is affectionately attached to the things of the world. Hence, 1 John  2:15-17 reads, "Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world...". However, when the soul life is genuinely crushed nothing of this world can again move a believer’s heart from the purpose and accomplishments of the Cross in the his/her life. Consequently, such believer will continue to live with the consciousness of a new life experience produced by the efficacy of Christ submission to the dealings and death of the Cross. "...Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people with his own blood, suffered without the gate" (Hebrews  13:12).

You see, the Cross is the place for the crushing and death of the soul and self life. He whose self life has been remitted to the dealings of the Cross and submitted to Christ's death by faith is cut loose from the things of the world. In other word, our separation from the love of the world in our hearts is a product of our wholehearted submission to the dealings of the Cross. The activity of the Cross in the believer's life renders him dead and different from the world, its affections and perversions.

I hope this answers your precious desire to understand how the dealings of the Cross makes for a believer's separation from the world even from the innermost part of the heart.

Thanks for reaching out!
