You can not claim victory in Christ, yet teach that a person has to earn salvation by works,
if you teach victory in Christ, you have true faith God will save you completely and chage you from the inside out and make you a holy person who is sanctified in him
which means you are saved forever. Because God will change you
to say anything else is to profess faith in self, and you ability to become holy, and not in God to make you holy
its amazing how many people proclaim faith in Christ, that in really only have faith in self
Did I just read Matt say that Jesus blood couldn't wash away certain sins?
God said do not err for if you hold unto sin,and do not get rid of it,you are not saved,for the blood of Christ cannot wash it away,and it will be on their record.]
This sounds a whole lot like you have to bath and save yourself because Jesus blood isn't able to do it for you...which is false.
God says to die to self. That is different than telling people they have to wash themselves clean.
Dying takes no effort on our part...it's admitting we are already dead and cut away the flesh to reveal the born again person God has made us to be.
Our past actions don't define us. Our sins don't tell us who we are. God does and we learn to overcome and walk away from the things of,this world towards His ways and His purpose for our lives.
If we stand still paralysed because someone tells us that we have to be sinless before we can be saved...we lose focus on God and focus on self effort and what we lack.
.instead we should focus on Christ and what He has already done and what He calls us to do. If we lack anything let us have faith God will provide and focus on walking with Him in love and humility.
