Subject: Is sinless perfection possible on earth? |
Bible Note: "But it is noticeable that he concludes the section by declaring that, in spite of what is carnal within him, the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made him free from the law of sin and death. He then goes on to explain why." Then do you feel this supports my hypothesis that sin is no longer a determining factor in our lives anymore. What determines our salvation is the condition of our hearts? That is why Jesus is making constant intercession for us, because our sin don't count? Or do they count but in a different way? If we look at Romans 7 Paul makes the statement that sin is dead to the believer. Yet I think each of us will admit we still deal with it. If something is dead it is no longer a factor. Are we not believers? Or did Paul mean sin was dead as in no longer the determining factor in our relationship with God? |
