I remember as a child, receiving countless warnings from my parents not to dabble in something that was dangerous because the consequences would be dire. I do recall one particular event that caused me to remember to heed to their warnings and always to be on the look out.
I was at the park one day with a bunch of my friends and near by was a lake filled with a huge family of ducks. One of the moms gave us permission to go and feed them. I kept insisting that I was not leaning that close and well sure enough, I leaned a little too close and fell head first into the lake. My problem was that I thought I could get as close to the edge as possible without falling in.
My rebellious nature as a child kept dictating that I can ignore the warning signs and that I was not going to fall in. The more I thought I was invincible to danger, the more I let my guard drop. I was reminded that day that with each warning comes a chance to properly equip myself against something that can bring me harm. Peter could not have predicted that he was going to sin, he really wanted to live out what he declared that day. However, like Peter we too fall when we think we can handle sins snares.
He guides, protects and provides for each step of the way and will gives the tools and means we need to stand firm against sins snares. Moments before Peter denied Christ, he had publicly tried to defend Jesus from getting arrested.
He had taken a sword and cut off the right ear of the servant of the high priest when they came to arrest Jesus. In that moment. However, there is someone in the crowd who promises to take your punishment of death, and you will be given their clean slate. And that is what Jesus did for you. One more song for you today. As the song says:. Pleasant day everyone,Very interesting view on grace but im afraid that its not a biblical one.
Although there are many false claims in this article i only have time to point out one. Although confession of our sins to yahweh is apart of it all we must understand that we are not saved just by believing for even the devils believe but they saved? We must also understand what sin is,according to 1John Sin is the transgression of the law.
What law? The 10 commandments. So inorder for us to sin no more we must keep the 10 commandments. This is the reason Jesus died,to restore man to his original purpose which is to Glorify God How?
JESUS righteousness Does not take the place of our sins ,because of his death we have the opportunity to be made righteous by God through justification by faith. You cannot live in sin and think if I believe in Jesus im going to heaven. You had a sin nature in Adam, but you're not in Adam any more. You are in Christ, and you are a saint saved by grace! You may sin, but that doesn't make you a sinner. You have a new nature in Jesus that is righteous and truly holy, but if you're not renewed to who you are in Christ by the Spirit, you will think the condition you used to have in Adam is still stronger than your new condition in Christ.
And you won't trust God to be dominated by life but rather, by default, be dominated still by death from which you've already been delivered. Sickness came from being in Adam, and healing comes from being in Christ.
The Power of Sin and 3. The Presence of Sin. Romans , Titus , and Acts Then our perfection comes when we are taken to Heaven and no more sin exists. Revelation So Salvation is instant, but our progress to perfection in our earthly state is ongoing till we are Raptured or pass from this earth to Heaven.
Scott Conaway Because I do not wish to steal the work of a fellow brother, I wish to refer you to a web page that thoroughly covers this discussion. I loved it. We are now children of God that may stumble. And when it is made known to us that we have stumbled by the conviction of the Holy Spirit, we must immediately repent. If we fail to do so, Satan will get ahold of it and bring condemnation, shame and guilt. He will try to convince us that we are too lost to be saved. We must walk in the light and stay in the light to have the freedom that Christ has paid the ultimate price for.
We are called to 'put on the mind of Christ' and to 'walk as Christ walked'. We would not be called to do the impossible.
