Romans Part 4 Sanctification: Chapter 6 - Chapter 8 

1

This can’t be realistically true

I spent many years defeated and miserable as a Christian, but now I'm finally beginning to learn to trust in the Lord and walk in the spirit. It is indeed very possible to live a joy-filled life in spite of any circumstances.

I m encouraging all my friends to listen to all d teachings of David Pawson. He s one of d very very very best. He ll b sorely missed

Do you know any other preachers that teach the truth that I can learn from? Thank you.

@@jilltilghman3027 Hope you well, you can try Alistair Begg and Sinclair Ferguson. Let me know what you think thereafter. Stay blessed.

Amen and Amen 🙏

He means that the process doesn’t end with a mere confession but along the journey after Justification you are being sanctified through obedience and dying to self daily and when you Die in the lord you will be glorified. (Justification)Now you have been saved from Sin , (Sanctification ) You are being saved from the power of sin daily and in the future you will be saved from the presence of sin(Glorification)

Salvation is not a process brother. Pawson's teachings are dubious. Salvation comes to those who do believe Jesus Christ is the Saviour. My cousin died right after he received Jesus Christ without a chance to do anymore after his salvation. Salvation is instantaneous.

He who endures to the end... Will be saved ..... The end of what? And also what does it mean to endure?

@@astrialindah2773 Jesus was preparing his disciples of His second coming. He was telling them of the signs of His coming. So He said "But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved." You have to read the preceding passages which talks about the tribulation where persecution is rampant. The enduring to the end refers to the persecution of the FLESH. During this time, Christians will be charged and chased after to be killed. But if you endure physically, you will be saved. Meaning, many indeed will be killed in tribulation time.

@@evaadams4243 yes I'll give you that. But enduring and overcoming have the same connotations. And when you read in the Book of Revelation the letters to the seven churches, at the end of each churches letter they were told he who overcomes will . be given power over the nation's, will be given the Crown of Life, will be given to eat from the Tree of Life etcetera etc etc...

Confirming to the image of Christ is an ongoing process up until you are glorified and you can still decide to not conform as you have free will.

The “those” in verse 29 could mean the people in the past (those who loved God). Because these people loved God, God predestined (prepare a destiny) them to be conformed to the image of Christ. You must have faith to love God, thus only those who have faith (continues in faith) are predestined. When you lose your faith, you lose the destiny God prepare for you.

He has done , Jesus has done what it takes to make it possible for everyone to receive eternal life - however we also have a responsibility to keep his commandments - we have a part to play 1 John 2:3-4: “And we know that we have come to know him if we keep his commands, whoever says I know him and does not keep his commands is a liar and the truth is not in that person but if anyone obeys his word love for God is truly made complete in that person Hebrews 10:26 If we deliberately carry on sinning after we have received knowledge of the truth - no sacrifice for sin is left ...and that includes the sacrifice Jesus paid on the cross

Hi Karen this is Steve - David recorded a series of talks on the Key Steps to becoming a Christian ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-AL9QupnJ_tw.html Let me know if I misunderstood your question

@@DavidPawsonMinistry my question is about the list he gave and he only listed 3 in his presentation

@@karenwarner7688 Hi Karen if you are referring to the section @5 mins 20 sec - the words David says are :- '' The 4 steps of ......repenting towards God, Believing in Jesus, being baptised in Water and receiving the Holy Spirit .........are the 1st four Steps in the horizontal Journey ....'' .I do accept that unless you listen carefully, it does sounds like David is saying ...... ''the 1st for steps towards repentance towards God are'' .... What David was meaning to say is : The 1st for steps of ......... 1. Repenting 2. Believing 3. Being Baptised 4. Receiving. ...are the first 4 steps ..... Thank you for questioning this '' Repentance'' as the 1st step and is very important, as without repentance,......... there is no forgiveness

@@DavidPawsonMinistry thank you.

@@DavidPawsonMinistry I expected believing to be the first step then repenting. 😊

You are reading John 10 out of context. Here Jesus was responding to the unbelieving Jews/Pharisees saying that no one (i.e. no others) can snatch Jesus' sheep out of His or the Father's hand. However, Jesus never said that the sheep can't themselves be sinning unrepentant and lose salvation themselves. This is consistent with the rest of the Scriptures where Jesus consistently and sternly warn believers to not lose one's own salvation. This same principle applies not just to individual believers but also to churches. There are no outside forces or people that can destroy a church, outside persecutions only make the church stronger. Churches can only be corrupted and destroyed from the inside, by its members living in unrepentant sins and no proper church disciplines in place.

@@CP-zb3ky please pray for me. I believe what you and Pastor Pawson said. I am terrified I am not overcoming my sins quick enough. I love Jesus and He is so merciful to me. I am also terrified of him and his chastisement when I continue to confess the same sin over and over like vaping cigs which I went to when I quit cigarettes. I am not overcoming sin quick enough. I just want to please God and an filled with guilt an shame. Please pray for better self control and that I please Him who has blessed me more than I could ever imagine. I feel like crying. I want to obey everything and hear " enter in good and faithful servant. I keep falling back into gossip and am guilt ridden and not getting a grip. I am sooo very sorry. David Pawson is right and I am terrified of God and disobedience plus not measuring up like not using my time and money correctly. Thank you for all who read this and have mercy on me and prat for God's mercy. I am afraid I am not pleasing to Him and He deserves so much more. I want to learn to please Him and never upset Him. God bless you all. I have listened to every sermon I can find in the past 3 months by Dr. Pawson. Does anyone know how to get more? Are there any other preachers preaching truth besides David Pawson, David Wilkerson, Derek Prince, Oswald Chambets and Zac Poonen that you can recommend?

@@jilltilghman3027 My previous reply to you got deleted, I hope you got to see it before it was censored. RU-vid doesn't like Lord's truths and facts being told, it's a spiritual warfare indeed. Praying for you ✝️🙏 The devils are controlling this world, but we true Christians have true hope, this life and eternally. Repent to God sincerely and persistently, the Lord will help you. All glory to the Lord, the devil is desperate as he knows his end is near.

@@jilltilghman3027 Some preachers preach that guilt and shame are no longer our portion in Christ. I understand what they mean but personally I think the last 30-40 years of mainly focusing on God's love and acceptance has given a skewered picture. Some Christians no longer fear the wrath of God and especially in the UK where I live, Christians seem to merrily break the rules, live in sin and think God will just keep forgiving so it's okay. In summary I think the point you're at now, when you feel guilt and shame over your sins is far better than the smug comfort of living comfortable with sin and thinking it's okay. So keep repenting, keep asking for God's help to break free and He will give you the strength to resist. One day this sin will be broken and no longer have a hold on you. As long as you never stop putting in the effort... I speak from experience..... And it's the same for all....else Paul wouldn't say "That which I want, I don't do and that which I would not, I do. Oh wretched man am I"....He must have known the pain of repeatedly falling into same sins......when you've gone without committing those sins for a while and start to feel good about yourself and then Bam! You slip up and you're right back to square one. We all been there. Keep fighting......

Nancy Baumgartner That's because the criminal truly REPENTED right then and there on the cross! No repentance, no salvation. And yes, one can lose his/her salvation (get cut off, get name deleted from the book of life, etc...) by deliberately and intentionally living in sin without repentance. This is taught very clearly throughout the Scriptures.

The bible teaches that one can willfully walk away from grace. There's several scriptures that prove that. The problem with OSAS is choice

I CHALLENGE YOU TO READ ALL THE New Testament says on the subject of baptism without denominational dogma affecting your view. I think you will change your mind. the thief lived prior to the ratification of the New Testament.

d

The issue is that when people think about baptism as a part of salvation it is assumed that it justifies us. As pawson says, salvation is a process, sanctification is a part of that process, and baptism is a part of salvation. It is not saying that you can't be found in Christ on the last day without it, rather that it is much harder to run a race if you do it unequipped. It's there to help us run the race not a prerequusite to it.

Don't take this anywhere near fact, but you could say that the thief was technically baptized in his own blood. Plus, he literally confessed to Jesus in person and literally died on the cross to his sins after he confessed. I don't think you can get any more real than that baptism. That's just me playing the devil's advocate tho. I personally think baptism by water isnt necessary, but it is important

@@TasX interesting hypothesis! And I agree, baptism isn’t not required, but good if we can ;). On a side note, paradise is a beautiful and peaceful staging place until Christ raises his people, not the final judgment or heaven. It’s wild that the Bible says in a few places that no one ascend into heaven but the Son. Christ will eventually present his jewels to the Father, but that is at least 1,000 years away ;)

I understand what you are saying but think of Balam. A spirit medium blessing Israel when he worked for the devil and used witchcraft.

And the medium girl who told the people in Ephesus that peter and the apostles were servants of the most high was operating with the spirit of God? My dear, go and read ur bible. Demons cried out that Jesus was the son of God. So, what is so amiss. You err because you know not the scriptures

That may be your interpretation of a few verses but that is taking a few verses out of context The context of Ephesians 4:5 is all about "unity" not a verse about the meaning of Baptism, There were many factions in the early church, between Jewish believers and Gentiles , many at that time saying they were baptised by John the Baptist , others that they were baptised by Peter or Paul Acts 19:3 ..... this verse in Ephesians states there is but one baptism and that is not the baptism of John, Peter, Paul ..... it is the Baptism of Jesus, going through the waters, dying to ones old self Romans 6:3 Take the whole of scripture not a few verses and you will see a different teaching about baptism. The book of Acts tells us there are 4 steps to becoming a Christian - repent, believe baptism in water and receive the Holy Spirit, Some examples in Acts the writer focusses on one or two of these stages to emphasis something but consistently throughout Acts you will find all 4 steps mentioned. Acts 10:47 highlights that a few had received the Holy Spirit but had not been baptised in water ..... "Can any man forbid water that these should not be baptised .......then he commanded them to be baptised in the name of the Lord " To dismiss water baptism dismisses a key teaching of the Gospel Jesus himself insisted John the Baptist baptised him in water as an example to us all ....and after he was baptised teh Holy Spirit came down upon him Acts 2:38 Repent, and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. Repentance and Baptism in water are for the forgiveness of sins and yes there is now one baptism - not the Baptism of John and the Baptism of Jesus - just the Baptism of Jesus - Repent, and be baptised, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit To say Water baptism is no longer required is misquoting the teaching of the Gospels and the discipling of the Apostles

Im sure you will have no objections to me quoting this verse of scripture.... in full .......and in the context in which is it was written Romans 10 - where Paul is quoting the Old Testament Joel 2:32 "Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved "........."How then can they call on the one they have not believed in, and how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard "......... and a few verses later " NOT all the Israelites accepted the good news" ..... So ........whilst everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved ..........this verse, quoted in full, indicates there is a condition Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved ..condition ... providing they "believe" in Him ....and not everyone accepts the good news ............. ....which is consistent with the most well known verse in the Bible John 3:16 "God so loved the World, that He gave His one and only Son ......."that whoever believes in Him will be saved " ....... or more accurately quoting the greek "whoever carries on believing in Him "....will be saved Do you agree with this ? Or Does it not fit the message you wish others to hear ? Then comes the real question - ...If you believe in Jesus and you call on His name you will be saved........ but what does it mean to believe in Jesus ?......." because not everyone accepts the good news Did Jesus not say "If you Love me, you will keep His commandments"....... and did Jesus also not say "If any one desires to follow me, let him renounce self and take up his cross" The good news is that "Everyone who believes in him, renounces self, and keeps His commandments .........WILL be saved ..........it is guaranteed ....so yes "All who call on the lord shall be saved" if they believe, and keep his commandments .......because the bible is also clear regarding what happens to those who deliberately carry on sinning after knowing the Truth - Hebrews 10

I believe works should come from the heart after salvation not as something that is required before salvation please consider Ephesians 2:8-9 : For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves; It is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast. (and not of yourselves, I think, should show there are no other pre requisites, also consider who in this condition don't want to serve ?) @@DavidPawsonMinistry

We agree - we are not saved by works! We are not saved by works t save you, there is nothing we as individuals can do to win Gods grace Again with Ephesians 2:8-9 - We are saved by Grace through Faith - or more accurately the greek word for faith and faithfulness is one and the same - we are saved by Gods Grace ........through remaining faithful....there is a prerequisite - and that is "remaining faithful: It has nothing to do with works however James 2:17 "So you see, faith by itself isn’t enough. unless (faith) produces good deeds, it is dead and useless" And finally Matthew 10 :22. "the one who stands firm to the end .........will be saved"

HI Pilgrims progress is not scripture - its just a story but it was written by a Christian to explain life's journey

@@DavidPawsonMinistry thank you

Its an interesting point but the Bible talks about a New heaven and a New earth when Satan will be cast into the eternal fire The Bible teaches that life in theNew Heaven and New Earth will be "eternal"

@@DavidPawsonMinistry Does this mean that in Heaven , “Free Will” wherein one may no longer be rebellious or totally committed, is history.?Therefore, irresistible Grace or force is applied. Therefore, love or hate is predetermined. One cannot truly love or freely love if it is forced.

@@EvangelistDonClark where there is an abscence of any evil Influences and temptation and where everyone will be in the presence of God - we will all be overwhelmed with a peace that passes any understanding and fullness of joy Undescribable joy ….

You may be correct but do listen to Davids teaching on ''How to become a Christian'' where David does cover the Thief on the Cross ...............then make your statement ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-r_-FFX0CI0o.html and specifically ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-IzagE7DQpLA.html Its about preaching the whole gospel of Salvation not just part

@@DavidPawsonMinistry I think David is sound and I understand what you're saying but Baptism is just to show satan and the world that you belong to Christ now symbolizing you dying to self going down to death and being raised in His likeness. It's a mere testimony nothing more. It doesn't save you anymore or less. It's action of your option. Baptism doesn't save anyone. One could be professing Christ but not possess Christ and just get wet. It doesn't do anything but testify that you're now saved

@@aservant2287 consider this - if it’s purely a symbolism Why is it OK if a Muslim professes to become a Christian but if someone born a Muslim is baptised they will b disowned by their family and a death sentence put on their heads Baptism is far more than a nice public ceremony and David once explained to me - baptism is not about what we do in going through the water - it’s what God does to us when we go through the water If it’s just a profession of our faith why do get baptised? “…… for the forgiveness of sin” ?

@@DavidPawsonMinistry the Muslims are getting threatened because they are showing to the world that they've made a choice to serve Christ and that they belong to Christ. You've proved my point by your question. We are not forgiven because we've gotten baptized, we're forgiven because we've repented and believe that Christ paid our price by faith. Baptism is considered a work and we're not saved by works lest any man should boast ephesians 2:8-9. If Baptism saves or does anything then Catholics would going to heaven because they got baptized. Like I said, Baptism is encouraged but not a requirement. What about people who in the desert or in a place that wouldn't allow them to be baptized? They don't make it? Salvation is a gift by grace through faith Period. Baptism not required.

​@@aservant2287Colossians 2:12 is much more than symbolic.

daniel dunkley the key word for me is the LIKENESS of sinful flesh. Jesus was tempted but never sinned, so He had the likeness (weakness) of a human body, but it wasn’t sinful flesh because He never sinned. I believe David Pawson believes this as well and it is a wording issue.

Paul in Roman's and Galations makes it quite clear that our mortal bodies are sinful and will remain so. Our flesh is what we have to overcome in order to live according to the directives of the Holy Spirit. God wants to save our souls. Jesus was born with the same mortal sinful body all humans are born with. The difference is that Jesus was conceived through the Holy Spirit in the womb of Mary. So that he was born with a Godly nature and was from birth controlled by the Spirit. Jesus NEVER gave in to the sinful flesh dictates. So Jesus never sinned. We are not conceived by the Holy Spirit until we make the decision to give our lives to God and to become disciples of Jesus the Christ. So we have already built sinful structures into our very thought processes. That is why we need to be transformed by the renewing of our mind so that the sin, which is endemic in our very being, can be slowly eradicated from our lives.

@@keithkriel5204 Dear Keith I agree with so much that you have articulated very well. Nonetheless it’s the terms that are greatly troubling. One cannot be sinFUL and sinLESS. If it was sinful at birth who washed away his sin seeing that without the shedding of blood there is NO remission of sin Lev. If the Life of the flesh is in the blood as Leviticus describes then the sinfulness was in his blood. Who washed it away. Surely he was one or the other but cannot be both. If his body was sinful at birth then surely it was sinful at death obsoleting the sacrifice. This is why it’s a terrible error. If he became sinless through obedience as perhaps you are suggesting but was at one point sinFul namely at birth this is also an imperfect sacrifice. As the term sinful implies he had sin in him. As in Adam all die as in Christ all will be made alive Rom 6. He was virgin born and was not in Adam. If he had Adams sin nature then he also was in Adam. Obsoleting Paul’s whole argument. A terrible error my friend I wish no contention at all but all scripture rises to this climactic point that his perfection is what makes our salvation possible to tamper as an otherwise excellent Mr Pawson does here is astonishing for someone of his standing in the community of believers. it has no scriptural grounds at all. Learning obedience through the things he suffered in know way implies his body was sinful. I do hope you can see that it is in honour of his blood I reply not to create an argument. I would tremble for the soul of someone who think God perfect sacrifice was sinful at any stage. Romans 8 he came in the LIKENESS of sinful flesh and for sin condemned sin in the flesh. To be like something is not to BE something but represents it. His body was LIKE sinful flesh it was not sinful. If you got through that thank you for listening even if you can’t agree. I wish you a good night

​@@danieldunkley6671You rightly warn us not to fall into heresy of denying that Jesus is fully divine. Please be wary of the heresy of denying that Jesus is fully human. Jesus is both fully divine and fully human.

There are so many scriptures that support Dr. Pawson's position. He used to believe like you do now but, by diligently searching the Scriptures, he found the Truth, and I pray you will too.

Lee Bee what of the COVETOUSNESS he talks about, which he didn't know was SIN???

Provide inf

Paul says that Jesus came to save sinners of whom he us foremost. Just because we do not commit the action of sin does not mean that we are sinless. Paul understood this so he could say "no good lives in me" and yes he was talking about himself. In Jesus and only in Him, are we righteous. God imputes righteousness to us through Jesus alone, there is no righteousness in us.

So why did Jesus say in Matthew 10 - He who endures to the end will be saved ? 1Cor 15:2. Paul writes to the Corinthians, “Now I would remind you, brothers, of the gospel I preached to you, which you received, in which you stand, and by which you are being saved , if you hold fast to the word I preached to you- unless you believed in vain”. .....being saved You are saved, you are being saved and you will be saved - providing you keep the faith to the end

@@DavidPawsonaufDeutschOffiziell Endures to the end of what? The time of Jacobs trouble, which is what the book of Revelation is about, is believing Jews who have to endure to the end. We the Body of Christ are not appointed to wrath, Rom 5:9 ...we shall be saved from wrath through him(Christ) 1 Thess 1:10...delivered us from the wrath to come 1Th 5:9 For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,

@@DavidPawsonaufDeutschOffiziell What version is that, of 1 Corinthians 15:1-4

@@DavidPawsonaufDeutschOffiziell In Matthew 10 and 24 Christ is not speaking directly to the church the body of Christ, the body of Christ was still a mystery at that time, the only time the body of Christ is mentioned is in Paul's epistles. The body of Christ is made up of Jew and Gentile. 5 These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded them, saying, Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the Samaritans enter ye not: 6 But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel Matthew 10:5-6 Matthew chapter 10 is about Christ sending out his disciples to the cities of Israel, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of heaven, and not the gospel that Paul preached which he received by revelation of Jesus Christ. Galatians 1:11-12 Paul's gospel was the gospel of the uncircumcision. Galatians 2:7 Peter was committed unto him the gospel of the circumcision. Who are the circumcision? The Jews/Hebrews/Israel, according to the flesh. Galatians 2:7-9 7 But contrariwise, when they saw that the gospel of the uncircumcision was committed unto me, as the gospel of the circumcision was unto Peter; 8 (For he that wrought effectually in Peter to the apostleship of the circumcision, the same was mighty in me toward the Gentiles:) 9 And when James, Cephas, and John, who seemed to be pillars, perceived the grace that was given unto me, they gave to me and Barnabas the right hands of fellowship; that we should go unto the heathen, and they unto the circumcision. At that time there were two gospels, the gospel of the uncircumcision,(heathen/Gentiles) which was committed to the apostle Paul, and the gospel of the circumcision,(Jews/Israel)which was committed to the apostle Peter. The gospel today that saves both Jew and Gentile is the gospel that Paul preached. 25 For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in. Romans 11:25 God for the last 2000 years has been calling both Jew and Gentile with the gospel which Paul preached, creating the body of Christ, a new creature, baptizing them by one Spirit into the body. 12 For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ. 13 For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit. 14 For the body is not one member, but many 1 Corinthians 12:12-14 26 For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. 27 For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. 28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. 29 And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.

@@tiny72 will not spend time debating this with you - but In Matthew 10 Jesus was speaking to believers informing them that he was sending them out like sheep amongst wolves ..you will be hated by everyone because of me .... but he who ensures will be saved ..the consistent message throughout the Book of revelation is "to him who overcomes .....his name will be written in the book of life"

Bible doesn't say Jesus was born without a sin nature. I know that is often preached, but it is not in the Scripture. Bible says that "He was tempted in all points like as we, yet without sin." (Heb 4:15). If Jesus could not have sinned, then He could not have become our Savior.

​@@jilltilghman3027 Hi. And thanks for your question. Not many teach that, but there are a few of us who do. Personally, my understanding comes from such passages as this in Hebrews - "Inasmuch then as the children have partaken of flesh and blood, He Himself likewise shared in the same, that through death He might destroy him who had the power of death, that is, the devil, 15 and release those who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage. 16 For indeed He does not give aid to angels, but He does give aid to the seed of Abraham. 17 Therefore, in all things He had to be made like His brethren, that He might be a merciful and faithful High Priest in things pertaining to God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people. 18 For in that He Himself has suffered, being tempted, He is able to aid those who are tempted." - Heb 2;14-18 NKJV Verse 17 in the Jewish Bible reads like this - "this is why He had to become like His brothers in every respect." If Jesus could not have sinned, then how can He "aid us who are tempted?" What the Bible does say is that He never sinned, not that He couldn't sin. "Seeing then that we have a great High Priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. 15 For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin. 16 Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need." - Heb 4;14-16 Both these passages tell us that the Man Jesus was "tempted." Now, "temptation" itself is not sin, but rather, if we fall to temptation then we sin. Jesus never fell to the temptations He faced throughout His earthly ministry, and because He didn't fall, even suffering because of the internal battles He faced, He was "perfected" on this earth, having been proven "worthy." "though He was a Son, yet He learned obedience by the things which He suffered. 9 And having been perfected, He became the author of eternal salvation to all who obey Him," - Heb 5;8-9 (There is so much in this passage!) What few seem to understand today is that the Man Jesus did not exist before the baby in Bethlehem. It seems most teach that Jesus came down from heaven, became a baby, then grew to be a man again and went to the Cross. However, Jesus, Himself, told Nicodemus that that is not possible in John 3;4-7 Now, the Word (Logos) existed from the beginning with God in the spirit realm, and that "Word became flesh" (John 1:14), having been "born of a woman when the fullness of time had come." (Gal 4;4). But nowhere does the Scripture say that this human baby, born of Mary, was born without the ability to choose right from wrong. In Truth, the Man Jesus needed to be tested and proven before He could indwell, at the Resurrection, the "fullness of Deity in bodily form" (Col 1;19, Col 2;9) But until that day of His Resurrection, we read that Jesus was in the "form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. 8 And being found in human form, He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. 9 Therefore God has highly exalted Him and bestowed on Him the Name that is above every name." - Phil 2;7-9 Sorry to go on like this, but I truly get excited talking about the mysteries of the Kingdom of God. If you're interested in investigating any of this further, I suggest to you this teaching I presented a couple years ago in teaching at our church. to-him-who-overcomes.com/greatest-gift Here I go a little deeper into what I have found in God's Word, to hopefully enlighten and encourage the saints. All glory and honor to our Lord Jesus Christ! Bless you, sister, as you walk in the Way.

A-MEN its hard enough as it is and i believe you see Romans as it is. God bless. Thanks Jesus

Well who or what inspired it?
