Faithful to the End

Unfaithful

 

It has been a long time since I have faithfully, or otherwise updated this blog and there is really no excuse. This morning as I was musing about my Christian walk I realized that I certainly wasn’t being faithful, and making the best use of my God given abilities. In fact, I could easily and rightly say that by not being faithful to God in this endeavor and not consistently posting and sharing my thoughts on Christianity with others I was in fact making another being very happy.

I’m not going to name this being here, but Christian or not, you probably have a good idea of who. I’ll be honest I’m really tired of doing things that make this being happy. I don’t want him to be happy I want him to be upset. So this year I’m going to do more things that’ll make him take notice and I can guarantee that will bring spiritual warfare.

Freedom to Sin…or From Sin?

Hey Folks!

We’ve talked about the Original nature of things before the fall from Grace. We’ve also talked about how Sin despite our own efforts is not something we can overcome by ourselves and that even if we accept we accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior we will still sin. We will never be sinless until we go to be with Christ.

Today I want to address a accusation that can arise from different religious groups when you might be sharing how through Salvation in Jesus He has given you freedom from the Law.

These people might say: “So I suppose that means that you can murder, and steal and lie and whatever else!”

Since we’ll be looking at Epistles of Paul in this post I’ll let him answer that from Romans 6:1-2:

 What should we say then? Should we continue in sin so that grace may multiply? ² Absolutely not! How can we who died to sin still live in it?

We’ll return to that later but first some words about Paul.

Now Paul before his conversion was a zealous Jewish man who followed the law and was therefore defending his Traditions and Jewish faith. He went out everywhere and persecuted members of The Way, the 1st century church, trying to tear it apart and down because it was offensive to him. He was heading to Damascus to take on the Christians there when He was radically transformed and saved by Jesus Christ.
