Does not sinning saves you ?

I like what you said, but dont forget that you can lose the ticket you had for the cinema or someone else through circumstances can mistakenly take your place. Only by taking steps you making sure you keep the ticket safe is what will really guarantee your seat.

There is nothing that any of us can do to reach the righteous requirement of God. If we could manage this, than there would have been no need for God to come to earth as Jesus Christ and suffer and die in our place and while doing so, to be that substitute who could live a perfect sinless righteous life.

In doing so, the Father imputes to the Old Adam, the very Righteousness of Christ. And this as a Gift through Grace by Faith...and so much more.

We--the Old Adam--were included 'In Christ' on the cross. We died 'In and with Him' and were then raised in and with Him as a New Creation and then ascended in and with Him to heaven--where our Life is now hidden with Christ in God.

This miracle is a matter of history and we had no means whatsoever to manage this...God did it Himself.

All of this and more is a Gift to the Old Adam race--who had no hope but an assurance of eternal death.

We --via this New Birth from above--were relocated from the old corporate Adam--into the New Corporate Adam--the family of Almighty God.

What's in your wallet?

Your righteousness, or His?

If we could stop sinning completely then we would be proving the bible wrong and making god to be a liar if we were sinless. Only Jesus is sinless and perfect. However it is required that we be more righteous than the scribes and pharisees to enter.  Daily repentance and renewal is the only way. If we wilfully sin then we will not be saved.

So we have the righteousness of christ but we have to add our own ? We dont. Jesus was talking about the fruit of being a child of God. Works that are righteous.  The pharisees did not have works of righteousness because they were not children of God. So Jesus said your works needed to be real to show you are Gods children. But in no way do they merit anything towards salvation.  We are saved by grace alone.

Now people will say I am saying it's ok to sin. Not ! We have died with jesus through faith. And now live for him. Only we are already justified by his blood.

Praise our Lord!

Yes, stop trying to be saved by works!
Repent, believe and start trying to be holy, as our Savior is Holy.

Only Jesus is sinless.

As Christians we must strive not to practice sin.

Well this is a thread I should not be in.. haha.

Nor more does sinning send one to (forgive me Father) hell. Christ is the door.. and He looks in HIS books.. book of life, Lambs book and other books.. is our name in there? YES MINE IS!

Did Jesus Sin?

If you were without sin would you be saved?

The answer is yes.

So not sinning can save you.

The answer is Yes not sinning can save you.

Have you sinned? is a different question.

Not sinning will diffidently save you.

This is very misleading. In the first place, we are saved strictly by grace through faith. Salvation is a Gift.

Secondly, sin is not the only issue. There is the problem of the 'sinner'. That sinner is the entire race of the first Adam. Jesus came to be a substitution for the judgement of Adam and thus ushered the 'born from above' individual 'into Christ', the New Man and Second Adam.

Salvation is relocation. When God looks on a son of God, He does not see the sin. He sees the blood of Christ and the Righteousness of Christ.
