This,is the part that I want to get better,your saying grace then when we in are flesh are weak and do that of the flesh does that mean grace of Christ is absent from that person.None perfect,and I truly believe and then I have those constantly passing judgment on me.This is leading to self condemnation for me.
[h=3]John 3:5-6[/h]Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV)
[SUP]
5 [/SUP]Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and
of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
[SUP]
6 [/SUP]That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
You believe you are born of God's Spirit by God a free gift to you. And we are to thus learn from God as our teacher to what is truth and what is not. We thus discern between flesh and God's Spirit living in us. Forsaking the self flesh daily and if we do sin we thank God the Father for taking it away at the cross with Son as our advocate, being forgiven, we thus ask God how to avoid these self inflicted flesh actions in the future and God teaches each of us.
So by belief letti you are born again a free gift from God to you and all that believe
Romans 5:15
But not as the offence, so also
is the
free gift. For if through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the
gift by grace,
which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many.
Romans 5:16 And not as
it was by one that sinned,
so is the
gift: for the judgment
was by one to condemnation, but the
free gift is of many offences unto justification.
Romans 5:18 Therefore as by the offence of one
judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one
the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life.
Romans 5:8 But God commendeth his love toward
us, in that, while we were yet sinners,
Christ died for us.
Romans 8:34 Who
is he that condemneth?
It is Christ that
died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession
for us.
Seethe constant intercession for us
Hebrews 4:16 Let us therefore come boldly unto the
throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find
grace to help in time
of need.
Not for forgiveness from God for thankfulness that God through Christ did this:
Colossians 1:22 in the body of his flesh through death, to
present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight:
Now if we do offend anyone else, then yes it is only right to ask then for forgiveness. This is a thankful response to God for while we were yet failures Christ died for us
We are the creation not the creators so what makes better sense here? To respond to God in what God has done and will do through us by believing God at God's word?
Or creating our own God as many have done or are trying to do as if God is a vending Machine? By going to Church, helping out there neighbor, doing an doing good in order to reap REWARDS
Matthew 6:16 Moreover when ye fast, be not, as the
hypocrites, of a sad countenance: for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear unto men to fast. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
Matthew 23:13 But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees,
hypocrites! for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in
yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in.
Matthew 23:14 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees,
hypocrites! for ye devour widows’ houses, and for a pretence make long prayer: therefore ye shall receive the greater damnation.
Matthew 23:15 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees,
hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves.
God plain and simply just love us, why can't we respond to this and quit trying to initiate, when God said if you seek God above all things your needs shall be supplied.
Fruit of the Spirit:
Galatians 5:22 But the
fruit of the
Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
