1 COR 5:6 By ignoring the presence of even a small amount of leaven the whole lump of dough will soon be permeated; thus all ground for boasting in how good things seemed to have been will be lost!
7 Because Christ our Paschal Lamb has already been sacrificed once and for all, the old leaven of sin-consciousness, which was upheld by the law, has already been thoroughly removed. On that basis alone are you able to now permanently rid yourselves of the old leaven mindset of tolerating sin, which was our reasoning under the law-system!
8 Our daily life is now the extension of the Passover celebration; feasting on sustained innocence! The old sin conscious-system, the leaven-mind set (always anticipating and tolerating sin), is replaced with an understanding of our unleavened innocence, just like when a diamond is 1scrutinized in the rays of the sun to confirm its flawless integrity.

1 John 1:9 Our conversation takes on a brand new dynamic when we take sides with what God believes about us. So, instead of telling God about the detail of our sin, we remind ourselves about the detail of our redemption. God doesn't need the information, we do. God's faithfulness and righteousness is the basis of our forgiveness and cleansing from every distortion. Jesus removed every bit of condemning evidence against us. MIRROR
1 John 2:1 My darling little children, the reason I write these things to you is so that you will not believe a lie about yourselves. If anyone does believe a distorted image to be their reality, we have Jesus Christ who defines our likeness face to face with the Father. He is our parakletos, the one who endorses our true identity, being both the source and the reflection of the Father's image in us. MIRROR
1 John 3:4 Distorted behavior is the result of a warped self-image. A lost sense of identity is the basis of all sin. MIRROR
1 John 5:18 What was made absolutely clear [in the incarnate Christ] is that whoever is begotten of God cannot be a distorted image of God. Likeness begets likeness. Jesus did not come to reveal the otherness of God, but his likeness in human form. There is nothing wrong with mankind's design, neither with their salvation. To see one's true revealed and now redeemed genesis in God, is to treasure the person you really are by his divine engineering and to remain unstained in your thoughts by the I am not-Tree system. The idea that I am not the expression of his image and likeness can no longer attach itself to my thoughts, neither do I allow it to ignite its destructive cycle of self-righteousness or depression. The system of this world is based on a mentality of separation, which is marked by hardships annoyances and labors. It becomes an all consuming and most exhausting lifestyle of having to prove oneself in every relationship and a futile striving for recognition; with its inevitable results of disappointment, condemnation, rejection and pretense.

1JOHN 1:7 We are invited to explore the dimensions of the same light that engulfs God; when we see the light in his light, fellowship ignites. In this light, we understand how the blood of Jesus Christ is the removal of 'every distortion and stain of sin. MIRROR
GAL 3:1 OH, Galatians, Galatians! Have you completely lost your common sense? Can't you see how the law bewitched you and blurred your vision to distort the revelation of what the cross of Christ accomplished in you? This was so clearly predicted in Scripture. How can you not be persuaded by the truth? MIRROR
1 COR 11:32 By discerning the broken body of Christ we can only conclude that he suffered our brokenness and distortion. This is the instruction of the Lord; what foolishness it would be to continue to place yourself and the rest of the world
under judgment when Jesus already took all judgment upon himself. MIRROR
1 COR 15:34 Awake to righteousness, and the distortion of sin will have no further effect on you. God is not confused. What a shame that anyone should exchange what God knows to be true about us to someone else's inferior opinion. MIRROR
1 PET 2:24 In his person he bore our sins in his own body upon the tree and thus brought closure to every distorted pattern of sins influence upon us; we were made alive unto righteousness; we were healed by the blows he took in his body! MIRROR
1 PET 3:18 [From Adam till Noah to Now!] Christ died once and for all, in order to conclusively separate you from a distorted identity. Thus, restored righteousness [shared likeness] triumphed beyond the reach of any identity that is not in sync with innocence and oneness, [righteousness bringing closure to unrighteousness] in order that he might lead you to be face to face with God; his body was murdered, but he was made alive in spirit.

JN 8:10 When Jesus stood up again, there was no-one there except the woman. So Jesus asked her, Where are they? Has no-one condemned you?
11 She answered, No-one Lord! And Jesus said to her, Neither am I condemning you - go and sin no more - never again believe a lie about yourself! MIRROR
JN 5:9 And at once the man became whole and picked up his bed and began to walk! Now this was on the Sabbath day.
10 The Jews were immediately offended and rebuked the man for picking up his bed on a day where no work was allowed according to their law!
11 He answered them, The man who healed me told me to pick up my bed and walk!
12 They were very keen to know who this man was.
13 But the man didnt know who it was who healed him since Jesus already left unnoticed and there were throngs of people around.
14 Then a little later Jesus found him in the synagogue and said, See! You have become whole! Do not continue in your old distorted mindset; then nothing worse can happen to you! MIRROR
Luke 24:47 Now you must go into all the nations and preach repentance and forgiveness of sins so that they will turn to me. Start right here in Jerusalem,

LUKE 24:45 He went on to open their understanding of the Word of God, showing them how to read their Bibles this way.
46 He said, "You can see now how it is written that the Messiah suffers, rises from the dead on the third day,
47 and then a total life-change through the forgiveness of sins is proclaimed in his name to all nations - starting from here, from Jerusalem! MSG
Romans 2:4 Or are you [so blind as to] trifle with and presume upon and despise and underestimate the wealth of His kindness and forbearance and long-suffering patience? Are you unmindful or actually ignorant [of the fact] that God's kindness is intended to lead you to repent ( to change your mind and inner man to accept God's will)? AMP

ROM 2:4 Do not underestimate Gods kindness. The wealth of his benevolence and his resolute refusal to let go of us is because he continues to hear the echo of his likeness in us! Thus his patient passion is to shepherd everyone into a radical mind shift. MIRROR

AMP
