No, I have to disagree Stephen. Grace posted the right scripture about the mirror. The truth is always in beholding Jesus...we become like Him. He is more real to us than our own self life. Though you might be saying it is a process and to that I agree.
Its like looking at self and seeing Jesus or the value that Father has placed on us through His Son. Its how God the Father does see us or we could not enter heaven.
My mind isn't entirely renewed yet and am sure Grace has areas too that is pointed out to him. By Holy Spirit I mean...not us here. lol
Its HIs work in you, amen? Am sure you believe this.

Nonsense and mis-representation being done as usual and I don't interact with those that continually are deceitful and distort what is being said.
It is a blessing to walk in this truth that Paul said to do to these types that act with this behavior.
Romans 16:17 (KJV)
[SUP]17 [/SUP] Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them.

Even that post Grace about the word repent. I know the scripture says its the goodness of the Lord that causes us to repent.
But, condemnation for my errors still plague me. I hate that thing. But am not down for days about it anymore like it used to be.
One can only love repenting by seeing His goodness.
Yesterday was a real trial for me...not just here but at home. New day..PTL.

The answers provided mean we have moved away from total inability.
We have also moved away from imputed righteousness, into walking into righteousness.
These theologically are two massive milestones, that change the view of the reformation
and move us into the holiness movement.
Our kind of issues that we face are responses that in their context are not appropriate
but we need to recognise and deal with in ourselves. They can range from sexual attraction,
anger, hurt, euphoria, depression, all consuming desire for something, a total rejection by someone
we love etc. These are not minor things, but can last months, years, and are difficult to
walk through. As an older man, these are often feelings of youth and aspiration, founding
families, careers, so are not the kind of things we get involved with.
Our choice is to constrain these flows within our relationship with Christ and to know he accepts
us and walks with us in righteousness. That is great glory, and a golden path of life.

Ok, thanks for your contribution, which is a denial statement.
Romans 4 is the battle between learnt behaviour patterns and the new life born in ones heart.
When we come to faith we are not remade as a whole. Our old self is to be transformed, a
new self established as a child learns how to walk, to talk, to share, to praise, to be with their
loving Father in heaven leading them forward.
Your testimony demonstrates you have not had this experience in your life.
I have, to which I testify.
It was like a glowing warm seed planted in me, and I did not know how it worked or why,
but I knew the things I did, I did without knowing, yet I knew life was in the word of God.
Now I know almost every word and its intent and meaning. That seed has permiated all
aspects of who I am, yet there is still more to learn.
This is the word of God, working in a soul to bring them to maturity in Christ.
