River of Life Christian Church ︳www.rolcc.net/english Hebrews 7:16-19 "One who has become a priest not on the basis of a regulation as to his ancestry but on the basis of the power of an indestructible life. For it is declared: "You are a priest forever, in the order of Melchizedek." The former regulation is set aside because it was weak and useless (for the law made nothing perfect), and a better hope is introduced, by which we draw near to God. Those who are in Christ Jesus no longer live in the law of the flesh. The law of the flesh refers to our blood relationships. Based on our blood relationships, we have no part in Christ, because we are not Jews, nor people chosen by God. Moreover, based on blood relations, we cannot serve God because ever priest in the Old Testament had to be a Levite, and a descendant of Aaron. Furthermore, based on blood relations, those who serve God during the Old Testament had to be without blemish. There had to be no blemishes in the body of the Levites. For example, if your vision is not perfect, you will not qualify. Praise God, in the New Testament time, we do not go by blood relations. All who are in Christ Jesus have been set free from the law of the flesh. In Christ, we can have true freedom and come before God without fear and hesitation. . Since the Lord is the priest forever, those of us in Christ have inherited the power of eternal life in us. The power of eternal life is God's life in us that brings about new life. It takes us from a life destined to die to a body that will live forever. This world will pass away and our bodies will pass away. However, in Christ Jesus, there is everlasting life and hope. 2 Corinthians 4 says, "But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us. We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed." . The life in Christ is everlasting life and a life from God. This life in Christ has power and can help us to overcome circumstances in our everyday lives and overcome the enemy's work in our lives. This life will bring new relationships, new love, new compassion and new strength in us. By these new blessings, we can experience God's riches, promises and love. Praise the Lord and let us enjoy these blessings in Christ today. Pray with Pastor Tong Lord, I thank you because you do not go by the law of the flesh, but by your mighty power. Today in you we have been set free from the law of the flesh and enter into the power of your life. May this power fill the hearts of each brother and sister. I thank you and pray in the victorious name of Jesus, Amen!  River of Life Christian Church | office@rolcc.net | ROLCC Website
