A Sin? |

Rom 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Php 3:14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. Jas 2:10 For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all. Ro 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Heb 4:15 For we have not an high priest which cannot * be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. 1Jo 3:9 Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot * sin, because he is born of God. I have seen a lot of finger pointing down thru the years from one christian to another about sin, as if they were still under the law and they could pin point sin for and from one individual to the next. Most don’t have a vision or a goal given them of God for their lives, but they still know what sin is. We go to church, and tithe and sing in the chior and fellowship and yet no one from the pastor to the 5 year old will ever take the time to develop a relationship with their 1st love, Jesus….not just know His presence, but the ultimate discipline, to know his voice and obey. Paul talks about the ‘mark’ as making the resurrection from the dead. But the ‘dead’ isn’t physical death, but spiritual death. The preportory steps to make the mark or the grade or the goal is different from one person to the next. These steps, as it were, are to be gotten by private or personal revelation. One can discern anothers obedience thru discerning of Spirits which is also used to rightly divide the word; sort of knocks out the cookie cutter seminary approach; and lets not forget discerning between the soul and the spirit. We all want the easy way without paying our dues or picking up our cross, and then follow him… Sure, if you know his voice and obey, things are possibly easy and simple, but not shallow. The individual plan God has for each of us is our mark. Jesus’s mark was to not sell out to Satan and to die on the Cross. Its really absurd to take a certain action in a persons life and then say this is sin or this is wrong, so long as that person is on the path to get to his goal, just about anything goes. Paul alludes to this, ‘all things are legal for me, but not always expediante.’ The ultimate example is Jacob’s wrestling with the Angel. Its all a matter or attitude and everything is negoitiable. This notion that those of you who are not spiritual, are going to come along in the flesh and make a flesh judgment about a spiritual matter going on right before them is insanity. The natural man cannot not know, for it is impossible. |
