Then you do not understand Romans 7:25. “I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.”
The Holy Spirit steers me. I know the devil wants us to fall. We may have a thought in the flesh, but the Holy Spirit is there and we do not entertain when Satan speaks to us. I usually say, I rebuke you Satan. Jesus is my Lord and Savior.
"Darkest time to be a Christian?" Kinda forget about the colosseum? The Burning stakes? The inquisitions? The reason the "Christians" do not feel saved is because they have based their salvation on their feeling, not the truth of Eph. 2:8-9, and the assurances spoken of in James and Galatians.
i disagree somewhat.......many times most people who are saved do not wanna read or pray or do things that they should is due to the fact they they are basing their relationship on their performance and when they fall short they think they have fallen out of Gods favor and such......a works type salvation which is wrong.....
No one knows who are truly saved, only God does. Reborn Christians will manifest a new life and seek the things of God, because the Holy Spirit lives in them. If there is no evidence, then, there just unredeemed people professing to being saved
Realize this truth. “I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.” (Rom. 7:25)
Isaiah 8:16 KJV Bind up the testimony, seal the law among my disciples. Revelation 14:11-12 KJV And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name. [12] Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus. Revelation 11:19 KJV And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and there was seen in his temple the ark of his testament: and there were lightnings, and voices, and thunderings, and an earthquake, and great hail. The vast majority of Christians are lead astray by the man of sin; 1 John 3:4 sin is the transgression of the law. The Antichrist the Papacy Dan 7:25 thinking to change God's law! Therefore follow his commandments to keep Sunday will result in 7 last plagues when deadly wound is healed by Apostate Protestant America; secret rapture false prophets Rev 13:11-17.
Godly or fleshy. We concentrate on the superficial and debate almost nonsensible topics which over and over again are regurgitated when they should be solidly understood. The entire Christian religion has to be overhauled. Two thousand years of silence has left humankind with the milk of the gospel becoming not enough, as we should have solid food promised to us. A form of irresponsibility and even a dead-beat overtone persists on God's part. Perfection is not indicated at the least. Let God answer for himself. He hasn't yet.
All my works are as filthy rags. ALL MY WORKS. When saved i died and Christ now lives in me. When God looks at me he sees Jesus. The only good that comes out of me is what Christ does through me. All my fleshly works are garbage. Eph 4:30 is not about my sin it is about how Jesus has sealed me forever. Not me but Jesus sealed me. I AM washed white as snow i AM Covered by his blood. Rom 8 NOTHING can separate me from the love of God in Jesus. Period. Done. Forever. No more guilt. Jesus did it all once and for all eternity for me. The flesh will always sin but the new man never sins. So if you want to feel guilty go for it. I choose to believe Jesus. Thank him and trust him. Not trust my flesh. Grace thru faith.
