Subject: why do we sin when sin has no mastery? |
Bible Note: Hi EdB, 1 Corinthians 15:31 and Gal 5:24 were comparison verses in my particular study that I was going to write to you. Luke 14:27 that Emmaus suggested to you would also be linked in my study but not to the same Person of the Trinity. Another Scripture that shows how it is a daily struggle is Romans 8:36,37, "Just as it is written, "For Thy sake we are being put to death ALL DAY LONG; we were considered as sheep to be slaughtered." But in all these things we overwhelmingly conquer through (Him) who loved us." Romans 8:10, "And if (Christ) is in you, though the body is dead because of sin, yet the *Spirit is alive because of righteousness." 1 Cor 3:23, "And you belong to (Christ); and Christ belongs to God." Galatians 2:20, "I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but Christ/ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me, and delivered (Himself) up for me." Galatians 3:3, "Are you so foolish? Having begun in the Spirit/, are you now being perfected in the flesh?" He provides us with the Spirit and our belief in (God) is reckoned to us as righteousness. Galatians 3:5,6. Galatians 3:29, "And if you belong to (Christ), then you are Abraham's offspring, heirs according to promise." Galatians 5:24, "Now those who belong to Christ (Jesus) have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires." Galatians 6:8, "For the one who sows to his own flesh shall from the flesh reap corruption, but the one who sows to the Spirit shall from the Spirit/ reap eternal life." Romans 8:31, "What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who is against us?" From the heart, Ray |
