How did you get free?

Through faith in Christ who washed away past sins and brought us out of our former enslavement to sin.

How did he do that for you? What are you believing in Him for?

Walter, Deb, 

Today, if you faced your imminent  death. Could you kneel at the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ. Knowing you have sinned against God and his judgment against sin is rightouess and true? 

For the wages of sin are death.

And say, yes amen, I am guilty, I accept Gods Judgement?

And will you give me 2 or 3 scriptures (clearly stated with no narrative) that encourage you and give you the knowing that excepting Gods judgment and accepting your death is the path to a new life.

Well! Miss or Mrs. Reinitin, from the above statement, I would say, if I had sin in my life, I would repent of that sinful nature, I mean just because of what I must do before death comes to me.

Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death. James 1:15

what sin is, but the transgression of Gods law: The apostle John tells us that "sin is the transgression of the law" (I John 3:4). In Romans 3:20, Paul instructs us that "by the law is the knowledge of sin." In Romans 7:7, he reflects that he "would not have known sin except through the law." So we must know God's law in order to identify sin 

Now! to answer your question, yes, I'm guilty, I accept Gods judgement. But if I continue in Sin, then I know what is my wages.

[Walter and Deborah]

Amen

He died in my place, paying the penalty for my sins.  Through faith in Christ, past sins are forgiven and I am no longer a slave to keep sinning.

God was very angry at me once. He took His Wrath for me and put it on His Son at the Cross.He took my sin and I took His Righteousness..What A deal! What a God! What a Savior! It makes me want to live for Him.Legalists never get it. TRUE CHRISTIANITY 101......

Every Christian will be judged. They will enter the Judgement Seat of Christ/ Bema Seat Judgement. They will gain rewards or have rewards taken away. There will be more rewards than just crowns.

This is true....but there will also be loss... I don't think many consider that. Saved as by fire means that we are naked and shamed. There are dire consequences for having lived according to the flesh while yet proclaiming to be in Christ.

 

In a great house there are vessels of honour AND dishonour.

Yeah, the Bible is pretty clear on that. The parable of the talents (among elsewhere) tells me our duties and responsibilities in Heaven will be commensurable with what we did in our lives for Christ. That's also a reward.
