Susan 22 books view quotes. Apr 30, AM. God desires to unite us in love. But He loves righteousness supremely and no unrighteousness can come into His presence. It is then always we who separate ourselves from Him.
Therefore, a sinner is someone who chooses to abide in sin. He rejects the way of righteousness and consequently rejects God. A saint is one who has received the truth of the gospel and repented from his sin.
He considers himself dead to sin, and alive to God in Christ Jesus Rom He does not let sin reign in his mortal body Rom and does not go on presenting the members of his body to sin as instruments of unrighteousness, but presents himself to God as being alive from the dead, and uses his members as instruments of righteousness to God Rom A saint is not one who has lost the possibility to sin, but through loving obedience by faith in the very real presence of Christ, he has lost the propensity to it.
But for now, I will share a little story to demonstrate that we cannot take a scripture out of context to support our selfishness. I was talking with a pastor of a large church about the grace of God not covering perpetual sin. He, arguing for it, quickly pointed me to Romans that seemed to indicate the more we sinned the more grace God applied.
Now reading Romans for what it says, instead of what we might want it to say, would have ruled this thought out completely in all the previous chapters. However, the secret to quenching false doctrine, or even to explain a scriptural verse is simply to read on to enable you to put the verse into context. Are we to continue in sin so that grace may increase? How shall we who died to sin still live in it?
Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? Scripture warns us not to use insult the grace of God to cover our sins because in doing so incurs His judgement Read Heb in context. Let us rather use the grace of God to come to our senses, turn from our former way of life and learn to walk in communion with Him. By doing so we will perceive the greatness of His nature and obtain the peace which surpasses all understanding.
If we are to be free from sin who can free us? For if we could have freed ourselves would we not already have done so? The whole purpose for Jesus coming to earth including His atoning sacrifice was not to save us from hell primarily, but to save us from our sins Matt The name Jesus means Savior, i. He saves us not only from the penalty of sin through His atonement, but also saves us from the power of continued sin in our lives through His indwelling Spirit.
See Dr. Albert Barns commentary on Mat It is our indulgence of sin that separates us from God. If we could be freed of our sins then there would be nothing to separate us from God.
