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

    to me, the knowledge that to be absent from the body is to be present with the lord is the treasure Having the promise I will never perish, but I will live forever is the treasure Being adopted as Gods child is the treasure Being spared from Gods wrath is the treasure Knowing I will be...

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

    So saved is a mind set? Do you mean if I think I am saved I am saved? I understand not being afraid of death. But is this really what we are saved from? or there more to this?

    Understanding the Law vs. Grace

    Paul in Romans 7 shows how the flesh remains, That he struggled to do what he wanted. and could not stop to do things he did nto want to do. the war in the body between the flesh and spirit. We all suffer this war within.. I always tell myself. If paul. and all he experienced could not find...

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

    I am not sure where you get this blindness from, this confuses me also. The veil was the curtain between the most holy place. where the presence of God was. and the Holy Place. where only the priests were. No one could have access to God except once a year when the high priest on the day of...

    Understanding the Law vs. Grace

    Grace is nothing bu Gods riches at Christs expense.. It is also unmerited favor. It can not be earned.. I am not sure what you mean by a system, Grace is not a system, it is a means..

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

    The veil was removed when Christ died. Christ removed the barrier that stood between the father and all mankind. With his death. The barrier was sin, And through becoming sin for us removed that barrier once and for all.. The only barrier left is unbelief. He who does not believe is condemned...

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

    I am trying to understand this, Are you saying that in order to saved from fire we have to lose all things? I am still confused on that part. And what is the treasure you speak of that is hidden?

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

    2 Timothy 1:7 For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind. Romans 8:15 For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, “Abba, Father.” Hebrews 4:16 Let us therefore come boldly...

    Grace has been around since adam first sin. Abraham received grace when he believed. Salvation by grace through faith has been the gospel from the beginning..

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

    being dead to sin means you have been baptized into Christ. and hence sin has no more rule over you. The power of the cross is justification. Which is why as Paul said. Romans 5: 5 Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, 2 through whom...

    What does "until the fullness of the Gentiles comes in" mean?

    it speaks about when the fullness of the gentile kingdoms spoken of by Daniel is complete.. When Christ returns. At that point. All Israel will be saved

    The Great White Throne Judgment (GWT)

    Jesus loves them He died for them, We should too. You should hope for their salvation. Not think you can help torture them.. Especially when you deserve that torture yourself

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

    Mock Much? I don’t get my doctrines from commentaries. I believe what I believe based on deep study. And looking at every side. Some of my beliefs I have changed based on what I have seen people in here say. Because we need to be open.. We will be held accountable for what we believe. Not for...

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

    The veil being torn means you can go face to face with God. Right here and right now. Based on that justification based On he cross. The veil represented what seperated us from God. We could not approach him, if we did, we would die. so I would not use it the way you are using it here as a...

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

    Yes, As paul said 9 Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him. It is peace knowing we will be spared from Gods eternal wrath. What does justified by his blood mean to you?
