1 | Do we have to sin? | James 3:2 | Asis | 107752 | ||
Greeting Baldwin This is a quote from "Bone of His bone," by F.J. Huegel. 'We have been proceeding upon a false basis. We have conceived of the Christian life as and imitation of Christ. It is not an imitation of Christ. It is a participation of Christ.' It is not up to us to behave as Christ. It is up to us to let Christ live his life through us. "Not I who live but Christ in me." We spend to much time trying to understand God and not enough time submiting to God. Living the way He wants us. Some would want us to believe that the 'old nature' is still within us. They want us to believe that we now are a dual personality, the 'old nature' and the "new nature" side by side. Scripture clearly says that the old nature was crucified with Christ (Romans 6.6), that we have been made new and the new things are from God (2 Corinthians 5.17-18). So considering all that God has done for us to not be slaves to sin it seems to me that there are times when we do not sin. Is this not what God's word says. The only time I sin (and I can't explain why I do this) is when I choose to sin. As a believer I am free from the power of sin because I have been crucified with Christ and am a dead man (Gal 2.20; 5.24; 6.14). Therefore all that besets me is but a temptation, which I can either choose God (No temptation will come upon you that is greater than you can handle, my paraphrase) or I can choose sin. The choice is ours the power not to sin is God's. I pray we all choose Him over sin everytime. By the way, what is sin? Asis |
