Forrest Gump's mom was right when he gave us the wise saying, "Stupid is as stupid does." The things we believe to be our behavior. That is why we believe it is so important. Here is one of the many believers believe stupid things. "I'm just a sinner saved by grace!" Listening on any Sunday or religious television any day of the week is a mantra Christian and biblical truth. Songs contain the phrase, Christian books are full of the same, and providers of testimony of love to quote as Scripture (which is not). This statement is an outright lie without a seed of truth, but twisted enough to cause Christian believers to live in a state of self-fulfilling prophecy. Sunday school or from the pulpit, is an audio turn by Spin Master, Doctor, our enemy the devil. Satan knows he can not change their citizenship in heaven or in our relationship with Christ (Ephesians 2:1-7), but can make us feel second-class citizens. What is this outrageous statement of heresy? "I'm just a sinner saved by grace." The grace of God saved him, but you are a "sinner" no more. That is a lie of the enemy to keep it in a defeat. Before starting the beating of your Bible, listen to this: Nowhere in the New Testament writers do call those who have a relationship with Jesus Christ - "sinners." Not what you are. They are the living God within and Paul and other New Testament writers called believers "saints." Just think about the implications of that statement: "I'm just a sinner saved by grace." If you think of yourself as a sinner, how act? The diminished expectations do you act as you think. If you think you are a "sinner", then you will act as a sinner. "Stupid is as stupid does." Do not take my word for it. Enjoy God for him: Meet the Romans 7:15-16 TruthRead and mark the word "I". Count how many times is "I" used in these verses? ______ Paul can not understand why he does things he does - says he hates the things he does. The article explores the question, "Why do the saints sometimes sin?" Read Romans 7:17-21 to discover the answer. How many players are in these passages? Behalf. (This is a trick question carefully) In these passages, sin and "me" are not the same. Paul says in Romans 7:17, "Hey! I did not! It is the guilt of sin. "He is saying that this is bad" sin "is not really in me or I'm not the sin. This sin in me from doing what I really want. Fill in the blanks with Romans 7:24: "Which one am Who _________man -------- ------------- of this body of death" Notice what Romans 7:24 says no. It says: "What man a sinner!" He said it was a "miserable" I am. Being miserable is to be miserable. If we give into sin, we will be miserable. It is against our new nature of sin. A Christian is a saint who sometimes sin. The sin of a believer is not a "lifestyle." We have, through the blood of Jesus, the power not to sin - we are not slaves to sin. So who will save us from this body of death? In his lifetime, making it more miserable? Probably you, but why? Read Romans 8:1-17. Sarx The Greek word is translated as "sinful nature" in the New International Version, but in the New American Standard version is the same word "flesh." It can be confusing, so read slowly. If you are reading an NIV Bible, then whenever the words "sinful nature" is noted in the table below. If you are reading from a Bible NAS each time the word "meat", mark down. Whenever you see these words in the text, please note that you found and what it says the exact words. Similarly, look for the "Spirit" and then make a list like this: In Romans 8:1-17, compare the "meat" or "sinful nature" with the Spirit: The meat or meat THIS IS AN EXAMPLE:? V. Spirit 4 do not walk according to the flesh v. 4 Walking in the Spirit How does Paul encourage us in Romans 8:1-4 When you are born again, received a completely new nature - the old nature is gone .* However, when we are born again with a new nature, even with content of a body of flesh. Programmed from birth to live according to our sinful nature, we are all born "sinners little." When God saves us from our sins, no one pressed the delete key. We spent the rest of our Christian life on earth to learn to walk in the Spirit and not in the flesh. Our first attempts to "walk" are staggering at best. With practice, learn to walk steadily Spirit. Over time, you can even "run and not grow weary." (Isaiah 40:31) [* Remember sarx Greek word translated "sinful nature" in the New International Version, but in the New American Standard Version, the same word is "meat." It can be confusing, so read slowly] Ora Truth:. Father, I do not understand! I do not understand why sin - I try not to sin. I just keep doing what I enjoy doing. Accepting that is the sin in me is doing and not me in Christ. I can not live this life without your grace and help. I want to live a saint who made me. I ask all this through the blood of Jesus, Amen. [List below an area of the sin of those who need freedom]. Know who you are you can not feel like today, but you're a saint. Think about it all day, "I am a saint" (I know it feels strange - does not seem to fit, but it's true.) You are a saint, now I think I will start acting like it.
