"I've never tasted alcohol." "I've never smoked." "I've been sexually pure." "I love my neighbors." You've been deceived if your righteousness is based on these. Christ is our Righteousness.
@Chidiotamiri Amen!
And ones' Jesus has made us righteous and purified us from our past sins, He gives us His grace to live a holy life according to his will. But now it's all glory to Him, because I know in me, that's in my flesh, dwell nothing good (Rom.7:18). He helps me to die to my self and to walk in the Spirit. (Rom. 6:13).We are not slaves to sin anymore, although it will be stuck to us as long as we live in this body. (Rom. 7:25). But we have a new Master now! 🙌 (Rom. 6:6-7,14)
@Chidiotamiri Thank you!
And you put it very well in your previous post: "But though the ability to sin is still in us, the grace of God has appeared to us and it enables us to say "NO" to sin."
Be blessed!
