last time i sinned was a few seconds ago, i took a orange from my sister without her permission because she was sleeping and i really wanted one.
Some Christians claim that they are forever to remain as sinners. While some claim that they can never ever sin again. Both are just plain wrong. Not because I said so. Absoulutely not. But, because the Word of God says so. Read the Bible, and understand which verse speaks to the outer man, and which verse speaks to the inner man. With the help of the Holy Spirit,of course. Truth is, our flesh will always sin. But, the spirit is the one that can remain sinless for eternity. Because it was that inner man who was dead in sin. But because of Christ's sacrfifice, that inner man in dead to sin. Everyone is so focused on the outer man. But remember this; we're all made in the image of God. And God, is a spirit. So if God wanted to give and bring us salvation, I have a strong feeling that salvation was meant for that inner man, and not that worthless outer man. Give to Caeser what belongs to Caeser. Give to God what belongs to God. Don't get the two mixed up. And may the Lord bless you all, always.
Yes. I agree. But Paul's ministry was meant to be for the spirit. Paul was speaking to the spirit, and not the flesh. It's the spirit that remains in sin no more. It's in the spirit that grace abounds. Christ came to bring life (His life) back to that spirit which was once dead in sin because of Adam and Eve's transgressions. The minute they disobeyed God, they felt their nakedness, they felt their sin, and their spirit became dead. They lost all connection to God. But that's why God gave us Christ. Throughout the entire OT, long before Christ ever came, you can see God trying to show man, through the natural of what His son will come and do. The apostle Paul claims that this Gospel is one of a kind. Because in every other religion, people search for peace in their flesh. But the Lord came to bring and restore peace back into that once dead, inner man. Remember that it's the spirit that is saved, and not the flesh. From dust we come, to dust we go. But the spirit shall live forever.You are learning the difference in who follows and who don't
Flesh does not and is unredeemed so therefore Paul calls us to come to belief that by Christ's death is our death to flesh our selfish flesh that is, and be held alive by the Holy Ghost of God that inner man of the heart that serves God
and John does call us by belief and steadfast belief we might not sin, but if we do we have our fail-safe, Christ Jesus the righteous
1 John 2:1 My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:
Now is that for one to take advantage and use it for an occasion to the flesh error(s)
God forbid
Romans 6
Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV)
6 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? [SUP]2 [/SUP]God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein? [SUP]3[/SUP]Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death? [SUP]4 [/SUP]Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. [SUP]5[/SUP]For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection: [SUP]6 [/SUP]knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin. [SUP]7 [/SUP]For he that is dead is freed from sin. [SUP]8 [/SUP]Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him: [SUP]9 [/SUP]knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him. [SUP]10[/SUP]For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God. [SUP]11 [/SUP]Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.
