But remember, your definitions still allow sins, as you call them sins not unto death. In saying we are completely free from sin, you mean only certain sins, those "sins unto death", while I don't divide sins into groups, I assert we have been made free from all sin, not just some, because we've equally been set free from our flesh, the source of sins.
Anything that falls short of God's glory, anything that does not specifically find it's origin in our faith in Jesus, Anything other than these is sin.
Yes, I agree, it is horrible to think about all those who feel so defeated that the feel like they will never be free! When they are free!
What about those who teach that even One sin shows that they don't even know Jesus! What does that communicate to those who do, and are in the way of sanctifiction?
A correct understanding of the flesh and the new creation, what these words mean that "it is No Longer I that sin, but the sin that lives in me", the correct understanding encompasses what we experience in life, and teaches us our freedom from the power of sin and the ravages of sin.
Much love!
