Bible Note: I don't know about thr rest of you fellas...but if Tim is right, I'm in a world of hurt! Romans 7 describes me to a T. In fact, this particuler chapter has been of great comfort to me in my pilgrimage here on earth. As a new creature in Christ, it is my desire to please my Lord and glorify Him in everything I say and do. However, not a day goes by that I don't fail miseribly. That which I want to do, I, don't do. As a consequence, I find myself looking to Christ and what He has done on my behalf. I have come to understand there is nothing that I can do to add to or subtract from my salvation. My carnal nature has been crucified with Christ. It is a bonified corpse. When I am weak He is strong. It is no longer I that live, it is Christ living in me. Therfore, I confess my sin; pray for the grace of sanctification; humble myself in the sight of the Lord and give Him all the glory. John |
