Rom 6:2 By no means! How can we who died to sin still live in it?
oh wait... I can't stop sinning isthe foundation of this theology and the ABOVE clearly shows Paul was showing power over such. Paul was not talking about postionally righteous but PRACTICAL righteousness that is brought about by the empowering grace we realize by coming INTO and ABIDING in him and HIM through US. |
AMEN!!!
It seems practical righteousness is absent from those who propose any aberrant teaching apart from the truth of the cross the bible is really trying to relate. Things practical make all the world of a difference. LORD, teach me Your Way!
So, the work of the cross saves and continues to work in victory over sin. First, victory FROM SINS, and then victory OVER SIN.
Someone once pointed out that SINS (the acts) are the issues from
Romans 1 up to the middle of chapter 5, and then it switches to speak about SIN (the principle).
