The Word:
Meaning In Life: the study of Ecclesiastes
part 22
Ecclesiastes 7:20
For there is not a just man upon Earth,
that does good, and does not sin!
God's Word answers the question for the self-righteous of this world who claim to be without sin - the truth is all of us can and often will sin - I don't say this with a smile on my face -but with tears in my eyes- its sad that we choice sin over Jesus time and time again - while His Spirit now resides in us - many times we ignore His pleadings and go on and sin just as if we didn't know Him at all -its possible to know Christ and still sin - Ive seen many who claim they no longer sin - if this were true -then they should have died for our sins - for it was only the Sinless Savior who died or could die for our sins - He lived a perfect life - and died for our sin - He even became sin for us - that's like no other love there is anywhere else! Sin is a fact of life in this world - I do agree somewhat with those who say we don't have to sin - we really don't - but so often we choice to sin - Paul says that we should not just go on sinning so grace may abound more and more -that's just grace abuse - if we would do whatever the Lord commands us to do - and always do that -then yes -we can live without sin - but as I have always said -given the right circumstances or set things up a certain way - all of us can sin -
with our human nature sticking around - we can sin - we have the ability to sin - its the hope of CHRIST in us that we sin less and less - and while whatever sin we do commit is forgiven - we still must live a righteous life for the world to see His light shine in us - its hard to minister if you are falling into one sin after another - let Christ make you righteous - apart from Him its true - no one is righteous - but because HE paid down HIS Life for us - we can live righteously in and through Him - He in us - we in Him - this is what it means to be in fellowship with GOD!
The Final Word:
Sin is boiled down to - our way over HIS way!
CHRIST came to take our sin away!

Are you a slave to sin or to righteousness?
