The sin that dwells in us....

[Not me]

Romans 7:20 (NKJV)
Now if I do what I will not [to do,] it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells in me.

Getting rid of the sin that dwells in us is the purpose of our salvation, that we might walk worthy onto God. This is the newness of life that is for all Christians to walk in in this life. No amount of self will or strength of will will be able to overcome that sin that dwells in us. But thanks be to God He has made another way, righteousness apart from the law has been brought in. Where the works of the law will be fulfilled in us, but not by us. Faith in God, and a ever present desire to overcome this sin is now what is required. A ever present desire towards being made free from sin. This desire added with faith is now what is required to overcome the sin that dwells in us. For the just shall live by faith is now the directive we as Christians are to live by. This faith in the operation of God in us, a moment by moment causing us to walk in His statutes. A moment by moment walking in newness of life. It is recognizing and realizing what our salvation in Christ consists of that is that that will free one from the sin that dwells in them. 

Which is the answer to this question;

How could one be guaranteed to never ever sin again, from now to all eternity? 

There is but one way and that is, if right now you were to die. Death is that that frees one from the sin that dwells in them.....Christ tasted death for every man. This is how He fulfilled the law, by taking us to death with Him thereby freeing us from the law and the requirements of the law. Henceforth scripture says; 

Romans 6:1-2(NKJV)
What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound?Certainly not! How shall we who died to sin live any longer in it?

“we who have died to sin”

This is the reckoning that the scripture speaks of, that is the one thing that is necessary to be made free from sin. To reckon this truth to be true in our lives moment by moment as we go through the day. This is the way of righteousness by faith apart from the law that Christ’s death and resurrection has opened up to man. The heart that desires to be freed from the sin that dwells in them, can be freed from that sin by the faith of the heart reckoning themselves dead to sin and alive unto God by a moment by moment reckoning of this truth to be true. The truth of truths, “that when Christ died we died”, the strength of that death frees us from the sin that dwells in us. Faith in one being joined with Him in His death opens up that walking in newness of life that is the desire of the new creation in us. To walk pleasing to God in all things. 

May God continue to open  up and work these truths in us, so we might walk in newness of life and be pleasing to God in all things, as we live the rest of our time in the body.

a) Salvation is a free gift to all who BELIEVE and are LOYAL to the Lord God thru Christ Yeshua/Jesus.

b) Sanctification is God's process of making you less sinful in your daily life.

c) If anyone wants to add a yolk to your salvation by telling you to do thus and such... refer to 'a' above.

“Loyal” such a lovely way to say;

 “being a do’er of the word.”

Be blessed as you work out your own salvation with fear and trembling...

Right on brother, ...we have the Holy Spirit living inside of us to guide and direct our lives and if we "submit" to Him, ...He will not "lead" us into temptation or sin.

Lord bless

Yes, so true, the Spirit of Truth has come to dwell in us to teach us all things. With but with one requirement, and that is that we stay willing.... Oh to increase this willingness of our hearts before God....

Amen!

I haven't always been willing (mental illness is fickle) but the Lord is faithful to continue the work He started because I'm in Him now. How easy it is to forget that Jesus Christ loved us first... 

… to lose sight of the fact that the Lord chose us before we chose Him.
… to overlook how the Son of God was moved for our sake before we believed in Him. I was an atheist when Almighty God spared me!

I'm reminded of these every day. Whenever I find myself lost in that twisted version of the world provided by depression --- and I'm afraid for my soul, the Lord hears and leads me out of delusion. Every time Christ does this something changes and I become stronger... more confident in the Lord... and my faith grows just a little larger.

This is my reward in these dark times: instead of withering away to the curse the Lord saw fit to raise me up from the dust and breathe upon me, sending His Spirit to dwell with me always. God's Spirit is faithful to conform me to the image of the Son in whom we have eternal life even when I'm to weak to stand... or believe that all is lost.  

Such a blessing to read and see the fruit of God working in a life! 
 

Be so blessed, for we do have His promise to perfect that which concerns us and to learn and know this is so by experience......Oh that He would make a quick work of it.

In the Beloved, Not me

The only way a human will not sin is to be in heaven.

Hello,

If you are talking about absolute perfection as seen by God,  you are correct.

But, scripture does teach that the path to that perfection is through being joined with Christ in  His death.

“he that has died is free from sin”

Which is accessed by first knowing it is true, than by the faith of the heart turned towards it. 

(Having said that.)

What is the foundation that teaches all things?

It is having and feeding one’s personal relationship with Christ. Which relationship is with the promise, to conform one to Christ and perfect that which concerns the heart that is His. 

So to the heart that is His, I wish you all good things in Christ. Not me

I have been seeking the Lord for a breakthrough from this sin that dwells in me. I know that only the Law of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus can set me free from the Law of sin and death which is in me.

This is the answer I 've got : You can't get a breakthrough without prayer and fasting. Prayer and fasting helps you connect with the power of God and brings you into your destiny. This kind does not come out except by prayer and fasting. Jesus was saying, this power comes from living a lifestyle of prayer and fasting.

The early church fasted every week. John Westly fasted 2 days every week as a lifestyle. Daniel because of his commitment to living a lifestyle of prayer and fasting, the anoiting on his life was 10 times greater than his peers.

Mathew 6-giving praying and fasting. These principles have been these for centuries. You can't get any breakthrough from the sin that dwelleth in me without living a lifestyle of prayer and fasting every week and also corporate fasting as a church for an extended season.

Amen, great post, For we walk by Faith and not by sight/2 Corinthians 5:7 

I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.
