Those questions weren't this hard for you to see one that fit your experience more than the other. If you are resting in Christ but not keeping the commandments of Jesus, then you are NOT resting in Christ as you think. 1 John 3:24 Now he who keeps His commandments abides in Him, and He in him...

P2 - 10 Scripture already says in John 17:12 While I was with them in the world, I kept them in Your name. Those whom You gave Me I have kept; and none of them is lost except the son of perdition, that the Scripture might be fulfilled.

So how does what you believe work? Do you believe you are righteous as you willfully commit sins you desire to according to your sin nature? Or do you have no desire to commit sins and naturally don't? I'm trying to see how Jesus works in your life.

I already said this once, but don't you know that without holiness you won't see God?

Do you still willfully sin? Or has Jesus freed you from committing sin? 1 John 1:8 is not a Christian. Read 1 John 2:4 to see that person is in darkness and a sinner. Christians are not sinners. 1 John 1:6 and 10 are also in darkness. From verse 5 to 10 is written in the Hebrew style of...

I remember decades ago hearing that justification means "Just as if I had never sinned." And that is what Jesus does in us. He makes us literally sinless by taking the DESIRE to sin out of our nature, thus destroying the works of the devil that were in us. Jesus also puts His Spirit inside us...

I had gone to church for 30 years without ever receiving the Holy Spirit, nor ever receiving an answer to prayer. I was taught that the gifts of the Spirit had ceased, and they really didn't emphasize the work of the Holy Spirit in our lives. All we heard was to not sin, and to keep the Ten...

Thanks.

If you read the OP and following posts, can you make a synopsis of what his point is? I'm not going to read the book.

Then where did David get the idea? I bet there was.

Where did they sing all of King David's songs?

Psalms 47 Oh, clap your hands, all you peoples! Shout to God with the voice of triumph! 2 For the Lord Most High is awesome; He is a great King over all the earth. This psalms was made into a song we used to sing at church. And, yes, we clapped our hands.

What are you saying? It sounds like you are saying Jesus' sacrifice was for His own sins to be saved first, then for ours.

That was first written to the Jews under the law who had to keep the law with their sin nature. They couldn't do it. That is WHY Jesus came to take sin out of our nature so that we can be righteous and children of God, not sinners. 1 John 3:5-9 Paul is using that verse as part of his teaching on...

The desire to sin is the effect that Satan puts on mankind ever since Adam sinned, and the dominion God gave Adam over the earth, Adam inadvertently gave to Satan. That is why according to Romans 3, all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. It is for THIS reason Jesus came to earth to...

Romans 8:23 isn't about sin. It is about a dying body. Even a sinless born again of the Spirit before coming to Christ was a sinner. 1 John 1:8

Our body doesn't control our nature, our nature controls our body. It was our nature that sin was taken out of, and our body will be obedient to new impulses that are righteous. Remember. the devil wants you to talk yourself into the opposite of what Jesus did in you. Jesus took away your sin...

The laws of God are not something you just memorize; they must be written on your heart by God supernaturally when you repent, are cleansed, and the Holy Spirit then can indwell you. Instead of having a sin nature in opposition to God's laws, you now have been given a new nature and the laws are...

Proverbs 23:7 "For as a man thinks in his heart, so is he. There are many false teachers in the world, mostly those who follow the "T" in TULIP who almost wear "SINNER" as a badge of honor, quoting, for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and 1 John 1:8 if you say you are...

Most of the Church has taken the path that scratches their itching ears. We must be a Philadelphian Christian to be a true Christian, but few have found it. 13 “Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. 14...
