Under the law...sin no more

Under grace ... walk in the Spirit (Gal 5:16,25)

The woman caught in the act of adultery was under the law, but Christ did not come to condemn those under the law, but to seek and save the lost, so he did not condemn her but gave her grace and told her to go and sin no more because she was under the law.

Today, the Spirit of Christ tells us to live and walk in the Spirit so that sin and the lusts of the flesh will not have dominion over us. We may fail but when sin abounds grace does much more abound so that we will not continue in sin because we are under grace and not under the law. Having God's Holy Spirit and being under grace we can hate sin and all the problems it causes much more than any of you who try to keep the law having put yourself under the law. No one can put themselves under the law and use grace when you break or violate the law. However, you can put yourself under grace and when you sin or transgress the law you can receive grace for your sin (knowing what Christ did to your sin) and be forgiven instantly with no probation. Under grace we are much more sensitive to sin and those things that grieve the Spirit, then those who are concerned about keeping the law that they are under.

The following is worthy of meditation. Please, there is no need to respond to this. It is related to the OP, and worthy.


Heb 6:4
For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost,

Heb 6:5
And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come,

Heb 6:6
If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame.

Heb 6:7
For the earth which drinketh in the rain that cometh oft upon it, and bringeth forth herbs meet for them by whom it is dressed, receiveth blessing from God:

Heb 6:8
But that which beareth thorns and briers is rejected, and is nigh unto cursing; whose end is to be burned.


Heb 6:9
But, beloved, we are persuaded better things of you, and things that accompany salvation, though we thus speak.

Have you forgotten that you are posting in the 'Bible Discussion Forum'? BTW that passage in (Heb 6) is the pre-salvation work of the Holy Spirit in bringing the Jews to Christ because the law and the old sacrifices under the law was not enough. Being a partaker of the Holy Spirit has to do with the work of conviction in the heart that Christ's offering of himself would be the sacrifice made once and for all. For these Jews to fall from that conviction and understanding and place of repentance would be impossible to renew and bring them back, though they had been enlightened and had tasted of the heavenly gift of God, the gift of God giving His Son as the Lamb, Jesus Christ and him crucified.

the OP has been sinless since salvation. I'd love to know how he keeps himself from thought sin.

I think you have law and sin on the brain! Every post has it in it! The OP did not say "I do not sin". The OP says that God says to sin no more. Do you disagree with this statement of the Lord? You also talk of the Holy Spirit, and seem to be in agreement with the bible in that. But if the Holy Spirit is required to not teach you about sin, then you are cutting the Holy Spirit off.

the op is implying that once saved you should "sin no more" which is impossible. Do you agree?

Have you ever sinned without breaking the law?
[SUP] [/SUP]Ye shall not eat of anything that dieth of itself: thou shalt give it unto the stranger that is in thy gates, that he may eat it; or thou mayest sell it unto an alien: for thou art an holy people unto the Lord thy God. Thou shalt not seethe a kid in his mother's milk.[SUP]22 [/SUP]Thou shalt truly tithe all the increase of thy seed, that the field bringeth forth year by year.
[SUP]23 [/SUP]And thou shalt eat before the Lord thy God, in the place which he shall choose to place his name there, the tithe of thy corn, of thy wine, and of thine oil, and the firstlings of thy herds and of thy flocks; that thou mayest learn to fear the Lord thy God always.
[SUP]24 [/SUP]And if the way be too long for thee, so that thou art not able to carry it; or if the place be too far from thee, which the Lord thy God shall choose to set his name there, when the Lord thy God hath blessed thee:
[SUP]25 [/SUP]Then shalt thou turn it into money, and bind up the money in thine hand, and shalt go unto the place which the Lord thy God shall choose:
[SUP]26 [/SUP]And thou shalt bestow that money for whatsoever thy soul lusteth after, for oxen, or for sheep, or for wine, or for strong drink, or for whatsoever thy soul desireth: and thou shalt eat there before the Lord thy God, and thou shalt rejoice, thou, and thine household,
[SUP]27 [/SUP]And the Levite that is within thy gates; thou shalt not forsake him; for he hath no part nor inheritance with thee.
[SUP]28 [/SUP]At the end of three years thou shalt bring forth all the tithe of thine increase the same year, and shalt lay it up within thy gates:
[SUP]29 [/SUP]And the Levite, (because he hath no part nor inheritance with thee,) and the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, which are within thy gates, shall come, and shall eat and be satisfied; that the Lord thy God may bless thee in all the work of thine hand which thou doest.

Now the question that has me pondering, did she trully understand why He told her this. Interesting enough Jesus did not take upon him to pronounce any sentence of condemnation on her; but called her to repentance, and, as the merciful and compassionate Saviour, gave her reason to hope pardon and eternal life.

God Bless

I agree that humans can't sin no more, I don't agree that the OP said we can achieve this. We are told both of these things in scripture, we are not to say scripture is wrong. If we decide to sin no more, and follow scripture when we can't, then God must want us to have this as our goal.

I don't think God would approver of our talking back to Him saying we can't so I won't try. Go and sin no more is even what God told the adulteress woman.

What shall we say then? Are we to continue in sin that grace may abound? By no means! How can we who died to sin still live in it? (Rom 6:1-2)

For sin will have no dominion over you, since you are not under law but under grace.
(Rom 6:14)

Does the OP stress just how much we need grace? I believe it does.

If you know why He told her to sin no more, would you please tell us?
