Subject: Crucify the flesh |
Bible Note: Asis So your saying you sin but you just ignore it? The question was asked what part do we play in our sanctification I said we must walk toward holiness resisting the lust of the flesh. You wrote saying we are dead to sin which to me says your claiming you no longer sin. I then asked do you sin or not. Your reply makes you think I’m different than everyone else. My question then is since everyone else sins, then I assume you sin. However you said that wasn’t the point the point was we gave us new life. Later you said, “We have not allowed Christ's blood to purge our consience of sin. "We're sinners save by grace." I was a sinner BUT NOW I am a new creation saved by grace. It is by that grace (God's involvement in my life with all His power and His might even though I don't desreve it) that I am justified (made just as if sin never was) through faith in Jesus Christ. I am IN CHRIST by God's doing.” The implication you leave me with is yes you do sin but you ignore it saying God’s grace will cover it. Your not making yourself real clear here and this is what I interpreting from what your writing. If I’m interpreting what your saying incorrectly please clarify what you are saying. However if what you saying is what I think then let me submit for your thought. Jesus very clearly said if you love me you will keep my commandments. John 14:15 "If you love Me, keep My commandments. John 14:24 He who does not love Me does not keep My words; and the word which you hear is not Mine but the Father's who sent Me. To me these say we are to make every effort to walk holy before the Lord, to keep His commandments and to reestablish our relationship when sin brings barriers between God and us. EdB |
