Whatever is not of faith is sin
Every person born into this world is born a sinner[separated
from God and already condemned].
The moment you are born-again you become a totally new creation.
You are a son[spirit offspring] of God, you have been reconciled and made the
righteousness of God in Christ [by being joined to Christ].
Your new spirit is joined to Jesus, therefore your spirit has
all the same qualities of Jesus... which includes it can not sin.
Your soul[mind, will, emotions] on the other hand... was not
born again and has not changed... your will is still rebellious, your emotions
are still immature and your mind will be exactly the same as before you were
born-again.
However, the God part of you is your spirit... it cannot sin
however, you will still struggle with sinful behaviour because of
programming[subconscious thinking]
So the dilemna for every christian is that the bible tells you
that he that is born again cannot sin but you find yourself demonstrating
sinful thoughts and behaviour everyday...
The bible is talking about your spirit cannot sin but your soul
continues in sin.
What is God's remedy for changing sinful behaviour?
The answer is found in Rom 12:2
Transformed behaviour is the result of changing the way you
think because the proverb says, as a man thinks so is he [his behaviour].
Now the slave does not understand this principle. He believes
that if we repent hard enough and obey enough and speak in tongues and fast and
tithe and attend every meeting, etc, etc... then all our problems will go away.
Therefore he erroneously focused upon the problem of sin
believing the more he understands sin the more victorious he will become.
The opposite is actually true. The more you focus upon the fact
that you are the righteousness of God, the more you will believe it, and your
behaviour is a reflection of what you think and believe
You dress indecently but want a
decent patner. You are ungodly but you want to marry a godly life. You are
unfaithful and prostitute around but pray for a faithful patner to marry.you are a drunkARD,a smoker but
looking for a patner without a bad habits. You steal and cheat but wants a
person that will not search your pocket. You spend in frivolities and riotously
but seek for one who is economic.you are an unbeliever but wants to be yoked
together with a believer. Remember DEEP CALLETH DEEP unless otherwise stated. I
see some young men saying they are looking for a virgin lady to marry and my
question is who will marry all those people they have DISVIRGINED? some ask and
quarrel with their wives over delay in pregnancy whereas during your courtship
with her you terminated the babies in her womb through abortion.whose baby do
you want her to give to you?you blame her whereas all the diseases you
contacted in your single days have made you impotent.some occult landlords are
lookin for good tenants whereas some evil masters are looking for good
servants.everybody wants something good and the question is whom do you want to
paY the price?THE BEST WAY TO MULTIPLY THE GOOD IS BY YOU DOING YOUR BEST TO BE
GOOD.buy this truth and sell it not.
