Colossians 3:5-11
Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires and greed, which is idolatry. Because of these, the wrath of God is coming. You used to walk in these ways, in the life you once lived. But now you must rid yourselves of all such things as these: anger, rage, malice, slander, and filthy language from your lips. Do not lie to each other, since you have taken off your old self with its practices and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge in the image of its Creator. Here there is no Greek or Jew, circumcised or uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave or free, but Christ is all, and is in all.
Discrimination is a deadly disease from the sinful nature of the Devil in you. Whether you discriminate others based on their race, caste, status, gender, age,physical or mental disability, poverty, nationality or on being social outcasts like prisoners and prostitutes, you have acted out of the sinful nature of the Devil in you. You have no right to behave that way. Until you put to death the sinful nature of the Devil in you and be filled with the divine nature of Christ, you will always be struggling with this sin. You may claim you belong to the Lord Jesus Christ, but if you practice discrimination of any sort stated above, you are still a slave yourself to the sinful nature of the Devil in you. You can only be freed from this sin, when you decide to put to death the sinful nature of the Devil in you. You must not leave your 'house' unoccupied after that. You must fill it with the divine nature of Christ through your obedience to everything Christ had commanded, guided closely by God the Holy Spirit. It would be difficult to do this, but you have to, if you want to be freed from obeying the urges, evil desires and passions of the sinful nature of the Devil in you. You have to "carry your cross" and put it to death once and for all. Let's say, if you refuse to put to death the sinful nature of the Devil in you, even after being warned and rebuked sternly like this, this sin of discrimination will mature within you to bring about more repercussions of this sin, as we witness today. It will get worse by the day. Stop this now! You can only stop this by putting to death the sinful nature of the Devil in you. There is no other way! If everyone in this world were to put to death the sinful nature of the Devil in them, then there would be no discrimination. All discrimination comes from the sinful nature of the Devil in you. What are you going to do about it? Don't play with the fire of discrimination. That fire will burn you. No matter who you think you are, you have to still put to death the sinful nature of the Devil within you. We will continue to hear of it's deadly repercussions all over the world, if you do not take responsibility and put the sinful nature of the Devil to death within you and fill your born again spirit with the divine nature of Christ. Act now, before it's too late! What is faith without action? I'll show you what is faith with action- put to death the sinful nature of the Devil in you today and obey Christ for full Christformation.
Acts 10:34-36
Then Peter began to speak: "I now realize how true it is that God does not show favoritism but accepts men from every nation who fear him and do what is right. You know the message God sent to the people of Israel, telling the good news of peace through Jesus Christ, who is Lord of all.
