Sinless in Christ

When do many professing Christians sin? As often as they are tempted, of course. Unless they already have sin that remains because they regard it as a familiar spirit. I have not heard them ever confess: I am clean. Holy. Righteous. These words abhorrent to them. They have no problem confessing they sin and that so does everybody else. They comfort one another in their afflictions caused by besetting sins. These are the sins they love and refuse to depart from. Many are living in fornication. Others indulge in adultery. But it is the sin of rebellion that slays unwary souls into depths of perdition. These are they who are sensual, earthly and devilish. Progressing into deeper darkness where there is no light. Only certain condemnation and a fearful looking for of judgement.

Blessed is the man that endures temptation for when he is purged he shall come forth as gold tried in the fire. Arm yourself with the same mind of Christ who when he was reviled, reviled not again. And though he were a Son yet learned he obedience by the things that he suffered. Obedience is better than sacrifice. Endure hardness as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. If the holy seed of God dwells in you as the incorruptible word of God by the renewing of the Holy Spirit, than you are holy even as your Father in heaven is holy. True believers confess they are clean and the Prince of the world has nothing in them. They have found the well of salvation that brings forth living waters of eternal peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.
