Being made free from sin, means we who believe in Christ are no longer bound to committing sin, if we so choose. Prior to believing in Christ, I was bound to continue in my carnal sins, despite my hating my sins and wishing to leave them. We therefore need to choose to not sin, thus overcoming...

To be a servant of righteousness and have faith in the cross, you have to believe in the Spirit, with acts of the Spirit. If, however, you believe in the flesh with acts of the flesh, you then are not a servant of righteousness with faith in enduring unjustness upon yourself for your faith in...

The ones whom the Lord loves today and forever, though they may still sin today, are they who do eventually repent and overcome their sins. They who do not overcome their carnal sins in effect choose the flesh over the Spirit, and are therefore not pleasing to God, nor can they be (Romans...

The ones to whom David refers in Romans 11:8-10 are the unjust who covet fields and take them by violence (Micah 2:1-2). Those who believe in truth and justice are they of Jacob, of whom not the least grain shall fall when the land is surrounded and desolated (Amos 9:9). Micah 2:1 Woe to them...

1 Peter 4:8 And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves: for charity shall cover the multitude of sins. I think the definition of charity in 1 Peter 4:8 may actually be love covers a multitude of sins. Something like how the Samaritan loved his neighbor in Luke 10, and thus...

Yes, with prayer, but also with repenting from my carnal inclinations which are of the devil, will I then be acceptable before the Lord, and the Holy Spirit will then provide me true illumination in understanding that which is spiritual.

For some it is a fruitless waste of time to repent of their carnal inclinations, as they willfully continue to choose the flesh over the Spirit. God, however, has commenced shaking the earth, and those things that can be shaken will soon fall away (Hebrews 12:26-27). So what are those things...

Could you provide some Biblical reference to "dipped in THE BLOOD".

Yes, it means to trust and believe in only Christ for salvation, and that means to believe in Christs teachings, His Way.

If Sin constitutes bad works, then how does repenting and leaving our sins (bad works) behind us constitute any work at all. As far as I can see it only ceases from doing something wrong, and not doing any good work at all. It's a first step, in order to be acceptable to God, so that His grace...

1 Corinthians 15:1-4 is the basic first step in believing in/on Christ and His gospel, so that we can leave our sins and not be subject to them. The gospel of Christ includes all that Christ taught and preached.

Correct, we are to give up all that we are aware of being SIN, and be not conformed to this world and its lusts. Those of us who do are then acceptable to God (Romans 12:1-2), through which God's grace will then lead us towards Salvation. Romans 12:1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the...

Yes, it pleases God when a person believes in what Jesus believes and is the Gospel of truth.

Good morning bud62, The Antichrist will take the place of God in many individual's hearts. That, however, does not describe the faith in/on Christ, nor does it describe what the opposite of faith in/on Christ represents. When someone says they believe in a certain politician, it is understood...

We are all aware of the scriptures that to believe in/on Christ leads to salvation through Gods grace, so maybe we should have some views of what faith in Christ actually means. Once we attain an understanding of what faith in Christ truly represents, we will then also be able to ascertain a...

Demons believe in the flesh and not in the Spirit, and therefore are not saved. People who believe in their flesh do not believe in the Spirit, and therefore are not saved away from their carnal choices.

While currently there may not be a heavy consequence to our willful continuing to sin; the Lord prunes every tree (of their errors) that continues to abide in Him. I imagine this means, that if we continue to abide in Christ, we will then wilfully choose the Spirit over the flesh, which the Lord...

Psalm 2:4 He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision. 5 Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure. Revelation 11:18 And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be...

I agree with you that we can be unaware of some more subtle sin motives. However, there are those sins which we are aware of being in the wrong direction, which we willfully continue to choose to do. We all will have to overcome our obvious sins at some point, or at the end we will have...

I agree with you that the true in Christ cannot be taken out of the way from their faith. But there are those whose faith is just made; whose claims in faith are superficial. As such, to differentiate from those who truly believe in Christ and what Christ stands for, the Almighty will shake the...
