2 Corinthians 5:21 (KJV), For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.
Sometimes some of our greatest problems is pointing everything to the eyes of the future. We want to apply much of the word to when we get to Heaven. Some of the songs that we have sang over the years, such as when we all get to Heaven, and other great songs and praise God we’re going to get there, but we don’t have to wait until we get there to enjoy the blessings of God. We can have them now!
“We are supposed to enjoy the Blessings of God NOW”
Hallelujah!!!
Yes, we will reign with Christ then but we don’t have to wait until then!
Romans 5:17, For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.)
The scripture in Romans 5:17 says when we’re going to reign with him. Now! Right now. In this life! We do not have to wait until we get to Heaven.
Paul used this illustration of reigning as kings because in the day in which he lived, they had kings. Each king reigned over his own particular domain. The Kings word was the final authority. What he said went! He ruled. He reigned. The word of God says that we reign in life by Christ Jesus. Why? Because we have been made the righteousness of God in Christ.
Because we have received the free gift of righteousness, put us in the right standing with God, we reign in this life through the one and only Jesus Christ.
