I'm a little confused, are you saying you no longer do continue to sin? You've fully ceased from sin? Much love!

Could you give an example? Much love!

Simple, but not easy! For me, I have no illusions whatsoever that I can of myself do anything of eternal value, or to make myself prettier to God. Only in Christ. Only His plan. Trying to "keep Law" of necessity means to keep part of the Law, because you cannot in the current time keep the...

In Christ, you could say we ARE free to sin, in the same way that anyone is free to thrust their hand into a pile of burning coals. It won't kill you, but it won't help you, and you won't like it, and it may leave some nasty scars! It may even render you less useful to the Lord. Lost...

For myself I like to order my thoughts according to the words of Scripture, and try not to go too far away from that in my explanations and interpretations. Words have meanings, as they say Disciples, that is, learners of Him, yes, not to overshadow our relationship, that we are Jesus'...

John 17:1-3 LITV 1) Jesus spoke these things and lifted up His eyes to Heaven, and said, Father, the hour has come. Glorify Your Son, that Your Son may also glorify You, 2) as You gave to Him authority over all flesh, so that to all which You gave to Him, He may give to them everlasting life...

Amen! Putting what we've learned into practice is key to learning more. Hebrews 5:12-14 KJV 12) For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong...

God commands our belief, so in that way, yes, to believe is to obey. Nonetheless, if we allow the Bible to be what determines whether something is a law or not, the Bible never shows a "Law of Faith", and in fact contrasts faith and law, so no, faith is not a law, and believing is not a work...

We cannot make ourselves righteous in His sight, only in Jesus Christ. Paul's words are really plain for me, "not the righteousness that is of the Law, but the righteousness of God that is by faith". I think we may benefit by examining ourselves with the question, Do I see God more as my...

Just to let you know, trying to read with these combinations of large and small fonts hurts my eyes, so I tend to skip over parts that have this mixed formating. And all large fonts makes for too much contrast, again, hard on these eyes. I'm not telling you to or not to post, just telling you...

He's not going to leave us where we were, that is certain! The more we cooperate with Him, the better off we are on all fronts. Are you thinking the main thing in our salvation is that we may know God? And that our transformation that comes from knowing God is a byproduct of that...

For me the heart of the matter is being reconciled to God, and that in God's grace He removed the sin that separates man from God. Having been reconciled to God, His grace completes it's purpose, that as a dispensation of His grace He makes us His very children, born of Him. Much love!

I'm thinking there are simple and clear answers. Maybe you could do that. Much love!

I think some people must think that if they use a lot of annoying formatting that somehow it makes their assertions stronger. I don't like to try to keep focusing back and forth between normal and huge fonts, and when it seems that the writter feels they need more strength to their...

So which way is it? Do you forgive so God will then forgive you? OR do you forgive because God has already forgiven you? BTW . . . I tend to gloss over the large fonts . . . old eyes, and obviously trying to force the point. Much love!

If that's your thinking, have at it. Do you believe the Jeremiah passage exactly as written? No need to answer me, that's a question for you. Much love!

Jeremiah 31:31-37 KJV 31) Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah: 32) Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of...

It always makes me curious when someone chooses to deflect from a simple question, or in this case two related questions. Do you know the answers, and choose to not reply? Or do you not know the answers, and choose to obfuscate that? Much love!

To whom did God say this? In what circumstances is it to happen? Much love!
