Whoa! Just take a breath! When did I ever say that I am attempting, by my own efforts, to become sinless and redeemed? I didn't! Only Jesus can give me salvation. And I thank God for it! I am well aware that anything I could ever serve up would be nothing more than a disgusting joke. But once we have that wonderful gift of salvation...once we have the Holy Spirit dwelling within us and convicting us of sin, don't you think it behoves us, from gratitude if nothing else, to repent when convicted, to love others when called to, and to always...always, glorify God for what He has done? The more we realise that it's not about us, the more we realise that Jesus is everything, has done everything...the more we become like Him. And we are told, that while not in any way contributing to our salvation, that we are still to live for Jesus, to seek out his holiness and righteousness. To spend our days loving him and others. Is that wrong? The bible tells us it is not. Jesus has saved me...full stop. And I follow Him, doing the works He has set out for me, not because I have to, but because I get to, because I love him.
Walk with God as He directs but don't get on a forum and claim that you are becoming perfect in the flesh. That is boasting about your self. If you wish to boast then boast of the fact that Jesus saves sinners and we are all sinners.
Galatians 6:14
14 But God forbid that I should boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.
NKJV
Romans 2:17-24
17 Indeed you are called a Jew, and rest on the law, and make your boast in God,
18 and know His will, and approve the things that are excellent, being instructed out of the law,
19 and are confident that you yourself are a guide to the blind, a light to those who are in darkness,
20 an instructor of the foolish, a teacher of babes, having the form of knowledge and truth in the law.
21 You, therefore, who teach another, do you not teach yourself? You who preach that a man should not steal, do you steal?
22 You who say, "Do not commit adultery," do you commit adultery? You who abhor idols, do you rob temples?
23 You who make your boast in the law, do you dishonor God through breaking the law?
24 For "the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you," as it is written.
NKJV
