Romans 7:20 (NKJV)
Now if I do what I will not [to do,] it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells in me.
Getting rid of the sin that dwells in us is the purpose of our salvation, that we might walk worthy onto God. This is the newness of life that is for all Christians to walk in in this life. No amount of self will or strength of will will be able to overcome that sin that dwells in us. But thanks be to God He has made another way, righteousness apart from the law has been brought in. Where the works of the law will be fulfilled in us, but not by us. Faith in God, and a ever present desire to overcome this sin is now what is required. A ever present desire towards being made free from sin. This desire added with faith is now what is required to overcome the sin that dwells in us. For the just shall live by faith is now the directive we as Christians are to live by. This faith in the operation of God in us, a moment by moment causing us to walk in His statutes. A moment by moment walking in newness of life. It is recognizing and realizing what our salvation in Christ consists of that is that that will free one from the sin that dwells in them.
Which is the answer to this question;
How could one be guaranteed to never ever sin again, from now to all eternity?
There is but one way and that is, if right now you were to die. Death is that that frees one from the sin that dwells in them.....Christ tasted death for every man. This is how He fulfilled the law, by taking us to death with Him thereby freeing us from the law and the requirements of the law. Henceforth scripture says;
Romans 6:1-2(NKJV)
What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound?Certainly not! How shall we who died to sin live any longer in it?
“we who have died to sin”
This is the reckoning that the scripture speaks of, that is the one thing that is necessary to be made free from sin. To reckon this truth to be true in our lives moment by moment as we go through the day. This is the way of righteousness by faith apart from the law that Christ’s death and resurrection has opened up to man. The heart that desires to be freed from the sin that dwells in them, can be freed from that sin by the faith of the heart reckoning themselves dead to sin and alive unto God by a moment by moment reckoning of this truth to be true. The truth of truths, “that when Christ died we died”, the strength of that death frees us from the sin that dwells in us. Faith in one being joined with Him in His death opens up that walking in newness of life that is the desire of the new creation in us. To walk pleasing to God in all things.
May God continue to open up and work these truths in us, so we might walk in newness of life and be pleasing to God in all things, as we live the rest of our time in the body.
