The only cooperation required is faith; through which we abide in Jesus (John 15:1-8, 1 John 3:6, 1 John 2:17).

Neither the OT law nor the NT law will justify a man (Galatians 2:16). We are obedient because we are saved; we are not saved over being obedient. You have the cart before the horse. False, salvation produces obedience to the word of the Lord; but obedience is not the requirement in order to...

Have you ever spoken a word only to have it heard differently by someone else? There is a song on the radio where the singer says, "Faith is rising tonight" But I keep hearing it as "Satan is rising tonight." Eerie how the prince of the power of the air exerts his influence.

I will say that the apostle Paul quotes out of Habakkuk 2:4 in at least three places in the NT.

Heb 13:12, Wherefore Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people with his own blood, suffered without the gate. Heb 13:13, Let us go forth therefore unto him without the camp, bearing his reproach.

In Romans 10:3, God's righteousness that is to be submitted to is the righteousness of faith (see Philippians 3:9); not the righteousness of the law. However, Romans 4:6 tells us that we can be saved and justified by faith "apart from works". How about Aaron the saint of the LORD (Psalms...

That scripture does not exactly say that we are all sinners; but that we all "have sin". Sin can be rendered dead so that we do not sin; thus we would not be sinners in the sense of being people who generally sin. By impartation also. 1 John 3:7 speaks of a righteousness that we do, that is...

To say it more clearly, Romans 3:10-18 is what the law says to those who are under it (Romans 3:19). But Christians are not under it (Romans 6:14). Therefore Romans 3:10-18 does not apply to the believer in Christ. Instead, it applies to the world of unregenerated people.

It is nevertheless biblical doctrine. Martin Luther found freedom in Christ through the doctrine of justification by faith. The Bible is very clear on the issue: salvation is not of works. See Romans 4:1-8 Ephesians 2:8-9 Romans 11:5-6 (kjv) Titus 3:4-7.

Eph 2:8, For by grace are ye saved (?) through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Eph 2:9, Not of works, lest any man should boast.

There is a general example of the man that worketh not but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, in Romans 4:5. And this indicates that the Lord justifies the ungodly (declares and reckons them as righteous) I beg to differ. Are Christians of the devil? See 1 John 3:8. And the word...

Actually, Christ shed His blood so that we might be sanctified...which means that we will not sin. See Hebrews 13:12, Hebrews 10:29. Right...and we all have sin dwelling within us. It does not have to be alive within us so that it affects our behaviour. It can be put to death (Galatians...

Not necessarily; for it is possible to abide in Him consistently and therefore walk in consistent victory over and freedom from the power of sin (1 John 3:6; compare 1 John 2:17) That is a good way of dealing with it; see also 1 John 1:7. The word "all" is most important.

It is not false doctrine, but faithful Bible doctrine. The order is as follows: faith --> obedience -- > righteousness. Be sure not to leave out faith next time: it is a most essential factor in the equation.

Actually, He gives His power to His people in the new covenant (John 7:37-39, Acts of the Apostles 1:8).

Lawlessness. Not necessarily; for the one who abideth in him sinneth not (1 John 3:6); and he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever (1 John 2:17). God imputes righteousness without works (Romans 4:6); that is, He declares a man righteous through his faith. It is impossible for God to...

Not to be confused with BoL (Bread of Life).

Then by proxy, we know that we are not born of Him.

However, it does say this elsewhere, in Hebrews 10:2 (kjv) (compare Hebrews 1:3 (kjv)). All of us have done wrong and know that it is so, if the truth be in us (1 John 1:10). However, our conscience can be clear over the fact that Jesus' blood cleanses us from all sin (1 John 1:7).

If anyone is truly born of God, they cannot sin (1 John 3:9).
