1 | Can sinnners inherit the kingdom of God? | 1 Cor 6:9 | New Creature | 56484 | ||
Rom. 6:1 Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? Rom. 6:2 God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein? Rom. 6:6 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. Rom. 6:12 Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof. Rom. 6:16 Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness? |

Grreat verses... but are we not all loathsome sinners who "deliberately, knowingly, and habitually practices sin". I think that's the point of most of Matthew 5 .... and because of that that we need absolute undeserved Grace. | ||||||
3 | Can sinnners inherit the kingdom of God? | 1 Cor 6:9 | JubileeNow | 56561 | ||
It's a fact that we are all sinners as stated in I John 1:8 but also we must consider that God cannot tolerate sin in His presence. We know we are nothing without Jesus and what He accomplished on the cross. Yet there are many actions we can take on our own to allow Jesus to help us not be adulterers, fornicators, idolaters the list can go on and on. I don't believe active sinners can inherit the Kingdom of God, meaning people saying Jesus has taken care of it for me and continue in sin, refusing to repent of things you know in your heart that you can resist doing. Remember it also says resist the devil and he shall flee, James 4:7 that is, resist him in Jesus name and lastly, consider what I Peter 1:15,16 says: But just as he who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do; for it is written: "Be holy, because I am holy". My belief is, if God placed that in his Bible it is possible, God bless you. | ||||||
