homwardbound, I don't really understand what do you mean by Will anything any response make this void?......
You've mentioned Abraham. God looked at Abraham's faith and took Abraham's mistakes/sins with a loving heart and worked with it and turned it into a beautiful thing that taught Abraham a lesson.
As human beings we cannot be perfect. But we have to constantly grow in our faith, grow in our relationship with God, be more mature spiritually by God's help of course. We cannot do this by ourselves either.
All through the first Testament has it not been shown that we can not be perfect and had to sacrifice an animal and shed its blood to be freed from sin and had to do that year after year as to be reminded of our sins year to year and that there is no remission of sin without the shedding of blood ever and Christ is the last sacrifice and shedding of blood for forgiveness.
Either this is true or it is not. For this world to have taken on Christ and ask for more forgiveness without anymore sacrifice and the shedding of anymore blood is not forgiveness is it? At least not from God, from man to man yes and it makes the flesh feel so good does it not?
Yet one never quits sin, never has their conscious purged from sin and therefore are convixted in sin beacuse one does not believe God through Christ took it away once and for all, in order to give one new life in the Spirit
· Hebrews 10:1
[
Christ’s Sacrifice Once for All ] The law is only a shadow of the good things that are coming—not the realities themselves.
For this reason it can never, by the same sacrifices repeated endlessly year after year, make perfect those who draw near to worship.
· Hebrews 10:2
Otherwise, would they not have stopped being offered?
For the worshipers would have been cleansed
once for all, and would no longer have felt guilty
for their sins.
· Hebrews 10:10
And by that will, we have been made holy through the sacrifice of the body of Jesus Christ
once for all.
So all I am saying is Christ did do it all for us to bring us to new life in Father, by the resurrected Christ, we are to now walk in the Spirit only and the old flesh can do nothing but follow, but if I keep focused on the flesh, whether I want to doi waht is right or not, I just manifest the flesh and reap corruption and continue in sin. Where as I rest in the finished of Christ I walk in dependency as Christ walked
[h=3]Galatians 6:8[/h]Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV)
[SUP]8 [/SUP]For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting
May God reveal this truth to you as Paul has tried so many times in the scriptures as he even explained in Romans 7 as well the difference of walking in flesh and the Spirit of God. Teaching us to be dead to flesh by the death of Christ and alive to God by the resurrected Christ given to us from God Romans 6 real clear on this Sister
The fight is between our flesh and the Spirit of God. And our flesh is unredeemed so it makes since then to see it, the flesh as dead with Christ at the cross does it not? so that I might see the new life given in the Spirit of God, given not earned ever.
[h=3]Philippians 3:10-11[/h]Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV)
[SUP]10 [/SUP]that I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death; [SUP]11 [/SUP]if by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead.
Praying this helps and God reveals this to you
