Bible Note: Hello Angel, I don't believe I've missed anything. "Sin has become our new master..." Sin is not the Christian's master: Rom 6:17-18 (ESV) But thanks be to God, that you who were once slaves of sin have become obedient from the heart to the standard of teaching to which you were committed, [18] and, having been set free from sin, have become slaves of righteousness. "Why would Christians choose sin (unrightous acts against God)and refuse to confess to God their transgressions and ask for forgiveness?" We have already covered this ground. I reiterate my agreement with Scripture: Rom 6:15 (ESV) What then? Are we to sin because we are not under law but under grace? By no means! One sin does not equal slavery to sin. It's not a pattern or lifestyle. You simply cannot equate these extremes. Steve |
