Bible Note: Salvation - Part 2 This is why Paul says that you have died to sin and to present your bodies to God. That old sin nature is gone and you are no longer a slave to it. Instead you are a slave to the righteousness of God within. This is why I say that at the deepest level, I am no longer a sinner. I am a saint. Do I still sin? Yes, my soul and body does. Is my spirit always righteous before God? Yes, it is. This is precisely why Paul addresses born-again believers as saints. We are not who we were. But even Paul admitted that when he sinned, it was not him - Rom 7:17,20. It was NOT him, folks! It was the power of sin that dwelled in his flesh where he says nothing good dwells - Rom 7:18. He said that he agreed with the law of God in the inner man - Rom 7:21,22. Even he understood that, under the New Covenant, God has placed His laws inside us. But he also new that the power of sin still resided in his flesh, not in his spirit or his soul - Rom 7:23. And he concludes that only Christ within Him can set him free - Rom 7:24,25. The law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus (that now dwells in us) has set us free from the power of sin and spiritual death. Is this not true? Don't agree with my view? That's Ok. You have to make your own decision. But, hopefully, you understand where I am coming from. A new creation, Bill Mc |
