We have to as one said keep the slate clean
But you cant, and that is why you sin, confess, repent.....repeat.
See that?
Why does that happen?
Because "The Law is the power of sin".
What is the law?
Its not just Moses writings... Its more specific...its everything that you believe is a sin, that you are trying not to do.
So, when that is your religion, as its not CHRISTianity, then you are trying to exist in your religion that is to try to perform for God so that He'll keep you, or even take you to begin with...
As long as you do that, as long as that is your Carnal MIND of the FLESH.....then the dominion of the law will empower your sin consciousness and your flesh to sin more.
Thats a fact.
Look at this verse.
"Christ came to deliver us from the CURSE of the Law"., and most believers are living inside the curse, in their own head, trying to do this, and not do that, to try to please God, and STAY SAVED.
See that? That is RELIGION< tied to the Law, that is not Salvation.
Its a work of your FLESH. (carnal mind), to believe this way.
See that?....and that means that those people who are under that curse are trying to be good enough for God to accept and keep.
This is why they are sinning and confessing and can't stop.
Reader, you can't be good enough for God to take you to begin with, or keep you... As He can only accept you and keep you, based on Jesus, and the finished work Jesus did for you, on the Cross.
Jesus did it, and we get it. " The GIFT of Salvation".
You take Christ and GOD TAKES YOU. = forever. "ETERNAL LIFE"... "eternal Forgiveness".
The Religious but lost....or believers who are deceived.....both have in their own heart and mind a LAW, many, and they are trying to keep them to "keep fellowship with God" and "Stay saved".
And that is why the curse of the law, their own, keeps them out of the revelation knowledge of God's Grace, and in bondage to their self righteousness.
See, until you place all your Trust in Christ to get you to heaven and keep you CLEAN, forgiven, .. then you are trying to do it, and that is Bondage to Self RIGHTEOUSNESS, = you are in bondage to your own SELF Righteousness......
"self Righteousness"..= Trying to make SELF....RIGHT with God.
