    How are we to reckon ourselves as being dead to sin?

    I don’t understand where it comes from. I have never seen people fight the need to be rescued, born again in my like than I have seen here these past few months..

    white knuckling? If I am dead I am dead. You seek God for his righteousness. because you are not righteous.. You can;t to God on your own righteousness. Thats called being born again. the issue is people think that penal substitution is a false doctrin. These people are wrong.. They are...

    If you’re born again, Your worry about this is done away with. You spend your life trying to produce fruit for the one who saved you

    How are we to reckon ourselves as being dead to sin?

    again If Paul was not born again, Non of this would have mattered We must be made alive first or non of this is meaningful You seem to want to worry about what happens after we are saved, but skipping the getting saved part. Thats worrysome

    How are we to reckon ourselves as being dead to sin?

    Yes, that is how we obey the law But that is not how we are born again, saved. made alive, have the penalty of sin removed. The most important decision you will make in your life is this one decision. Your eternity depends on it. You trying to be good. and loving people will not save you..

    How are we to reckon ourselves as being dead to sin?

    again, what does this have to do with us being saved? I can seek joy of others all day long. it will not relieve me from the penalty of sin. and make me alive in Christ. Salvation is a gift. It can not be earned by what we do or do not do. Let get our salvation first. then we can worry about...

    How are we to reckon ourselves as being dead to sin?

    what does this have to do with being saved? What does this have to do with making sure when Jesus comes, You will be resurrected and not left in the grave to be delivered to him at the great white throne judgment?

    How are we to reckon ourselves as being dead to sin?

    true, But we also need to make sure we will be raised by him when he appears.. I believe many will think they are saved, but will not be, and will be scrambling when they meet him to show why they think they deserve to be in heaven in desperation because they missed the ressurection..

    true, But God does not promise to deliver us from our enemies in this lifetime If he does. great, If he does not Great..

    How are we to reckon ourselves as being dead to sin?

    or maybe if you got out of thinking you are right, and stop trying to determine why other people think they way you do. you would see the truth Faith is an assurance of something or in someone. It comes by hearing, and hearing by the word. it is based on the hope of things not seen. yes there...

    1 Corinthians 3:13 each one’s work will become clear; for the Day will declare it, because it will be revealed by fire; and the fire will test each one’s work, of what sort it is.

    How are we to reckon ourselves as being dead to sin?

    Not sure where you are going here. You asked about the person who had little or no faith after they were supposedly saved. what would happen. gold silver precious stone wood hay straw is the answer. He would suffer loss of reward as it would be burned in the fire. but if he was saved, he...

    How are we to reckon ourselves as being dead to sin?

    2 levels of faith. who comes up with this stuff? You either TRUST God or you do not.. there are no levels.. If you trust him, even in the faith of a mustard seed, he is faithful. Like the man said, I believe lord. help me with my unbelief

    How are we to reckon ourselves as being dead to sin?

    Fruit of the spirit is given to those who receive the spirit.. It is one of the gifts God gives to his children. A non child of God does not have the spirit. so no, saving faith would not be a fruit of the spirit in that sense.. it is the work of God we believe (john 6) in that God draws us...
