Subject: Will sin enter heaven? |
Bible Note: Hi Jeff, Here are some additional comments on Gal. 5:16: 1. It doesn't say clean up your life and you''ll be spiritual, 2. It doesn't say the lust of the flesh will go away Our "battle" is to yield to the Spirit on a daily basis. The more the Spirit is in control the more Christ is manifested in us, the less so, the more the flesh shows forth. I don't see it as a matter of sinning or not sinning so much as the reality of Romans 6:11. Are we seeking to "reckon ourselves dead to sin and alive to God", or do we have it in reverse- dead to God and alive to sin? I think that the bottom line is this: Christ has dealt with sin, in its' finality on the cross (Rom. 6:10). We either accept that or we don't. I'm not sure what you mean by "What does it mean to be partaker of the divine nature? Is this a sinful state for us? Is this an impossible achievement?" Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |
