TimiRume: You said a lot. Let me answer bit by bit
Truly a christian's true joy is in his renewed spirit now and no more in his flesh. However the issue of comfort is a different thing. A christian may in his spirit not delight in sin but still find comfort or pleasure in what is familiar to him, which is sin.
Let's look at the explanation in Romans 7: 18-25
18 For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not.
19 For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do.
20 Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.
21 I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me.
22 For I delight in the law of God after the inward man:
23 But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members.
24 O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death?
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.
When we read this passage, we often think Paul is saying sin is an unejoyable pull and because we are christians now nothing in us is comfortable with sin. But that's not true, as we still have the flesh in our members that love sinning. We are redeemed from sin and we are no longer in the flesh but only our Spirits are presently new, every other part needs to be brought under subjection and their deeds mortified that's why there are admonitions to forsake the flesh and walk in the Spirit. Positionally, we are in the spirit but in our everyday walk, we have to choose between the flesh and the spirit. Galatians 5:16, Romans 8:13
Nobody would counsel you to walk in the Spirit if your will is to walk in the spirit. You love God and want to serve him, but only in your Spirit is this true, your will needs to be released from the bondage of sin so you can walk in the spirit else the default mode of your will in this world is to sin. From all this, your will is distinct from your spirit. They are not the same thing. So if your will is still bound to sin, your inner man would protest and God would chastise, but that would not take away the pleasure of sin in your members that keep you in sin.
Yes you are right, righteousness is by faith only. Even the believers who are keeping their garments pure acknowledge Jesus as their only righteousness. He is our wisdom, righteousness, sanctification and redemption. 1 Corinthians 1:30-31
May I say that the reason believers keep sinning is because they don't know Jesus is their holiness. And they live in guilt because they don't know that he is their righteousness. Many know it only in their heads and they think they are good to go but their lives prove that though they have the right doctrine they are lacking in light. Does God grant you light to see these things or are they things you merely read from here and there?
Yea I know what you are saying. I'm not talking about cultural christians. I'm talking about real believers living in sin.
Truly, all our troubles and sins are due to ignorance. That's why we must always seek for illumination from God and stop being mere theologians without power. And because of our ignorance we fall into different lusts that attracts sin curses to our lives. God allows these afflictions descend on us as his sword of discipline. Hebrews 12:6-7
For whom the LORD loves He chastens, And scourges every son whom He receives.” If you endure chastening, God deals with you as with sons; for what son is there whom a father does not chasten?
Our everyday victory over sin depends on our everyday seeing of the victory of the cross by faith.
Maybe some other time I'll give instances of why God judges not just our position in Chist but also our walk.
I never said fasting is a requirement for salvation. Prayer isn't too but we pray right? Studying the word isn't a requirement but we do it right? Because in the light of Romans 12:1-2, these are sacrifices we make to subject our bodies to God's word. And fasting isn't excluded. Inshort fasting humbles our flesh faster than most things we engage in our faith walk. Acts 13:2. Right from the old to the new, believers prayed and fasted
I don't mean physical seeing. I mean seeing by faith! I understand exactly what you are saying 😇 And I can still explain all what I said further with Bible verse to buttress what I have said. But Thing is 🙂 There are different types of Faith The Centurion's faith was different from Martha's faith. They all put their Faith on Jesus but they exhibited different types. Something that someone achieves by days and months of prayers and works, someone else can achieve by a simple 2minutes of prayer and Faith Overcoming sin is very easy It does not even require works It only requires faith of the truth |

TimiRume: Will that shock you?
Well I would be shocked too if I am either an unbeliever or a christian comfortable in sin. A true Christian would not be comfortable in sin.
I would be so terrified in the presence of God and see myself as unworthy to be before him. Even if you were totally away from sin,you can never be worthy to be before him by that.We can only be free to approach him because of the price Jesus paid which was the last price to ever be paid and NOT! because of our righteousness. We can't even be righteous by our works!!! For we through the Spirit by faith are waiting for the hope of righteousness. (Gal 5: 5) I do not make the grace of God of no effect: because if righteousness is through the law, then Christ was put to death for nothing. (Gal 2: 21) RIGHTEOUSNESS IS ONLY BY FAITH IN JESUS
Except God is mercifully granting an unbeliever a vision or visions to cause him/her to repent, the final end of every unbeliever is not heaven but hell… where the worms don't die and the fire never go out. No unbeliever after death and judgement is going to be with the Lord. God would have loved to have them with him but then he is holy and cannot go against his word He has said that whoever does not believe in his son, Jesus Christ is condemned already.And through his ministers on earth, he has been reaching out to men and calling them to repent from every lie they believe and trust in this one way that God has provided. God would not, cannot even, as he is bound by his word, accept anyone outside of Christ. Let no one deceive you friend, Jesus Christ is the only way to God. Man fell from God, Man has been redeemed back to God by Christ only. Truth!
As for carnal christians who are saved but are living in sin, God is already judging them through chastening so they won't be condemned like the world. God isn't judging the world yet but he is judging his children presently. That's why so many christians are poor, sick, mentally imbalanced, depressed, trapped and suffer many setbacks. We are being disciplined now as Sons of God so we don't perish with the world. And if we insist on walking against God's will we would suffer great loss in the future at Christ's return. It is not very clear yet what this loss would look like but its serious and very costly. LIE Do you think everyone who calls themselves Christians or go to church are actually Christians? Most of them are not Known by God at all. A TRUE SON OF GOD OR CHRISTIAN IS NOT SUFFERING BECAUSE OF THEIR SINS. TRUE CHRISTIANS CAN ONLY SUFFER BECAUSE THEY DONT KNOW WHO THEY ARE IN CHRIST! NOW WHO ARE THE TRUE SONS OF GOD?,READ LUKE 6:27-49 then in verse 35,you would see the criteria to be called SONS OF GOD.
Therefore, I call on you the unsaved to know that there is a perfect God who will reward every man what he duly deserves. The justice system in our countries are just a reflection of a greater and pure Judgement throne. Your sense of morality proves his laws of good and evil are real and effective. Don't think you will meet a love feast once you pass on without Christ. That's a realm unknown to most of the world but sure believe that it supersedes what you have here on earth. Remember, Christ has been punished for your sins on the cross. Only accept him as Lord and what he has done.
To the carnal believer, please repent from living in sin. I challenge you to read the book of Romans especially from chapter 3-9 carefully. God didn't save us to continue being slaves to sin. He solved the issue of sin completely on the cross. Not only was Christ our substitute, we co-died with him on the cross.
Totally makes sense
Pray 🙏 and fast (not needed,knowing the word of God and believing the truth about you is enough.
Faith comes by hearing."You shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free"
Not "You shall fast and the fasting shall set you free")
to God to open your eyes to see that you died when Christ died
Mentally knowing this would not bring the power to overcome sin, it is only by revelation. When you see it, the victory manifests.
NO! "YOU SHALL KNOW THE TRUTH AND IT SHALL SET YOU FREE" NOT! " YOU SHALL SEE IT AND IT SHALL SET YOU FREE" TRULY MENTALLY KNOWING IT IS NOT ENOUGH,YOU ALSO HAVE TO BELIEVE IT AND IN GOD,SEEING IS NOT BELIEVING, BELIEVING IS SEEING. and there is even a blessing for those who believe even when they have not seen Jesus said to him, Because you have seen me you have belief: a blessing will be on those who have belief though they have not seen me! (Joh 20: 29)
In conclusion God loves mankind and has chosen us to be his house where he dwells. No wonder he thoroughly redeemed us through Christ. Today when we hear his word, let us not turn away cos there is no more sacrifice apart from Christ. Come to him and know he is the reason for the season
True!
