This is the truth of your position. You put too much on Christ and too little on yourself.
. . . .
Is not YOUR personal doctrinal position CONTRADICTING what these verses actually say.
Romans 7:18-24 (NKJV)
[SUP]
18 [/SUP] For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh) nothing good dwells; for to will is present with me, but
how to perform what is good I do not find.
[SUP]
19 [/SUP] For the good that I will
to do, I do not do; but the evil I will not
to do, that I practice.
[SUP]
20 [/SUP] Now if I do what I will not
to do, it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells in me.
[SUP]
21 [/SUP] I find then a law, that evil is present with me, the one who wills to do good.
[SUP]
22 [/SUP] For I delight in the law of God according to the inward man.
[SUP]
23 [/SUP] But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members.
[SUP]
24 [/SUP] O wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from this body of death?
Romans 3:20 (NASB)
[SUP]
20 [/SUP] because by the works of the Law no flesh will be justified in His sight; for through the Law
comes the knowledge of sin.
Romans 3:23-28 (NASB)
[SUP]
23 [/SUP] for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,
[SUP]
24 [/SUP] being justified as a gift by His grace through the redemption which is in Christ Jesus;
[SUP]
25 [/SUP] whom God displayed publicly as a propitiation in His blood through faith.
This was to demonstrate His righteousness, because in the forbearance of God He passed over the sins previously committed;
[SUP]
26 [/SUP] for the demonstration,
I say, of His righteousness at the present time, so that He would be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus.
[SUP]
27 [/SUP] Where then is boasting? It is excluded. By what kind of law? Of works? No, but by a law of faith.
[SUP]
28 [/SUP] For we maintain that a man is justified by faith apart from works of the Law.
Galatians 2:16-21 (HCSB)
[SUP]
16 [/SUP] know that no one is justified by the works of the law but by faith in Jesus Christ. And we have believed in Christ Jesus so that we might be justified by faith in Christ and not by the works of the law, because by the works of the law no human being will be justified.
[SUP]
17 [/SUP] But if we ourselves are also found to be “sinners” while seeking to be justified by Christ, is Christ then a promoter of sin? Absolutely not!
[SUP]
18 [/SUP] If I rebuild the system I tore down, I show myself to be a lawbreaker.
[SUP]
19 [/SUP] For through the law I have died to the law, so that I might live for God. I have been crucified with Christ
[SUP]
20 [/SUP] and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.
[SUP]
21 [/SUP] I do not set aside the grace of God, for if righteousness comes through the law, then Christ died for nothing.
Hebrews 9:11-12 (HCSB)
[SUP]
11 [/SUP] But the Messiah has appeared, high priest of the good things that have come. In the greater and more perfect tabernacle not made with hands (that is, not of this creation),
[SUP]
12 [/SUP] He entered the most holy place once for all, not by the blood of goats and calves, but by His own blood,
having obtained eternal redemption.
{PAST TENSE}
Romans 5:8-10 (CSBBible) [SUP]8 [/SUP] But God proves his own love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
[SUP]9 [/SUP] How much more then, since we have now been declared righteous by his blood, will we be saved through him from wrath.
[SUP]10 [/SUP] For if, while we were enemies, we were reconciled to God through the death of his Son, then how much more, having been reconciled, will we be saved by his life.
Are you not trying to ROB the GLORY that SOLELY BELONGS TO CHRIST ALONE?
