SAINTS ARE NOT SINNERS.
I think that is the point and it is true.
If you consider yourself a SINNER...you are making JESUS a liar, and follwoing MANS words that apease you.
IF. IF .IF You you Sin(stumble...but even peter said that you CAN not stumble....) you have an advocate wit hthe FATHER who is in Christ Jesus. But DONT SIN.
SIN is anger, selfrightoeusness, depression, sarcasm(somthign i need to still work on in my private life) Worry,...etc...Even NOT knowing the blessign in Christ that we have, is a sin.
Now WE have been programmed to SIN, and not bat an eye. Run around like a crazy person the minute we get the sniffles. But SIn!? DONT worry!! We have JESUS!
Oh...well...thats not really how we shoudl live. Bu we have been PROGRAMMED to do so. and then to justify all we do.
SAINTS are not Sinners. SInners are not Saints. JESUS came FOR SInners to SET THEM FREE FROM there sins. JESUS SAVED US from SIN and the wrath of GOD because of them.
Saints WIL stumble(though if we ADD certain thigns we will not stumble...a baby wont fall unless it gets ahead of himself and starts to run) But these thigns are never preached becasue it leads to LESS people in a congragation.
You wont have a large church if you tell peopel they need to be HOLY.
So lets just talk about tithing/doctrine/and prophesy
instead of Gospel/holyness/and obedeince
A CHRISTIAN a FOLLOWER and obedient SLAVE of GOD, does not SIN. He who SINS is of the DEVIL. NOw... we will stumble becasue we live in the FLESH. BUT stumbling is NOT SInning.
We need to stop sayign we are sinners. and STOP calling Follwoers of CHRIST sinners. We arent and are not supposed to be. we were set FREE from SIN.
IF IF IF IF we are led by the spirit.
But if you be led of the Spirit, you are not under the law." Galatians 5:18
The LAW is the Curse. The Wrath of GOD, the JUDGEMENT (thats why i am stupified by WHY someone would want to go AWAY from grace and start following Mosaic Covenant)
But GRACE is the SPIRIT OF CHRIST being formed in you, jesus formed IN YOU adn then livien perfect IN YOU. And then YOU rest in HIM, adn are led by HIS spirit. and HE lives perfectly Though and IN you. And THAT is how you DONT give into the FLESH(nature of Satan) You are led by the SPIRIT(nature of Christ)
Jesus Got us to the ORIGINAL COVENANT.
Two Trees.
Tree of Life. (beign led by the spirit adn obeying JESUS...Relying on GOD for ALL in faith)
Tree of Knowledge of GOOD and EVIL (Being led by FLesh, Picking what YOU think is Good or Evil. NOT relyign on GOD, but a form of GOD)
ALways has been two trees, but NOW itS JESUS in you doing it. and JESUS in you will NOT Sin. So Listen adn obey JESUS IN YOU. Follow JESUS IN YOU. Be LED by JESUS IN YOU.
A FOllower of Jesus Is NOT a sinner. A Sinner, is not a follower of Jesus.
IF IF IF IF IF IF IF IF IF IF you stumble YOu have JEsus to forgive you, adn you dont have to set a cow on fire anymore. But YOU CAN NOT SIN
"You have not yet resisted to the point of shedding blood in your striving against sin;" Hebrews 12:4
Have you? I havent. Which means that Christ is not fully formed in me. But God has been wakign me up to the fact that he NEEDS To be, in order to live a heavenly life HERE (im not talkign about gifts persay ...but still heavenly..)
Ya know un beleif is Sin. beliving God CANT do somthign is SIN.
Puttign GOD in a doctrinal BOX is Sin. becasue then YOU tell GOd what HE does.
SAINTS are not sinners. SO stop tellign yourself so. Jesus bless you.
