Lionheart Exactly. But if you follow this thread you will see that it has been stated that the only commands that need be followed are Love the Lord your God with all you heart and Love your neighbor as yourself. The rest do not apply anymore. |

Hello mommapbs Let this be our attitude. Galatians 2:19-20 For I through the law am dead to the law, that I might live unto God. [20] I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. [KJV] We have a tendancy to substitute "church" for Christ. We love the "church". We work for the "church". We "do" church, when we are called to BE church. We are called to BE Christ's body here on earth. We run around doing church things, We even study the word and fill ourselves up with endless interpretations and never learn the spirit of what we have studied. We fail apply it to our lives, to do what the Lord has commanded. Just as you said His desire is that we live to please Him. How do we do that? Jesus tells us to Love one another, to abide in Him and He will abide in us; John 17:19-22 And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth. [20] Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word; [21] That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me. [22] And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one: [KJV] We are to be one with Christ as He was one with the Father. To know Jesus and NOT desire to be one with Him and do the work (BELEIVE GOD), to be one with Him, is to be lukewarm and He will spit those from his mouth. We look at something hot as "on fire for the Lord" and something cold as "Not desiring the Lord", but I submit that those two are same. Hot coffee tastes good and cold soda tastes good but if either is lukewarm we spit it from our mouth's. Remember hot or cold is ok it is the lukewarm that God doesn't want. I encourage all to seek what Paul sought (I draw you attention to verse 9 and excuse me for all the verses included once I started reading I couldn't decide where the verses made the point). Philip. 3:7-21 But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ. [8] Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ, [9] And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith: [10] That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death; [11] If by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead. [12] Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus. [13] Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, [14] I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. [15] Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded: and if in any thing ye be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this unto you. [16] Nevertheless, whereto we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule, let us mind the same thing. [17] Brethren, be followers together of me, and mark them which walk so as ye have us for an ensample. [18] (For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ: [19] Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.) [20] For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ: [21] Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself. [KJV] LET US ALL BE FOUND IN HIM. GLORY TO GOD |

165 | Whose will causes a believer to sin? | Rev 13:8 | Asis | 88129 | ||
It is a fact that Adam sinned and set us all on a course of iniquity. The question I read is "Can a BELIEVER sin?" A believer as I understand the word is on who is a follower and disciple of the Lord Jesus. The answer to the question about a believer is They only sin because they want to. We are dead to sin. No temptation copme upon us that is beyond that which we can handle. We sin because we choose to | ||||||
