Listening to Tim Keller again and the passage was Romans 8:1-4. Here are 1-2:

[1] There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. [2] For the law of the Spirit of life has set you free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death.

His comments struck me- when we sin we are not condemned for it as believers because He has already taken the condemnation away. Instead of having to rely on His mercy to forgive us when we fall we depend upon His justice to accept what Jesus has already done for us!

I am no longer condemn-able! I am truly free!

As He (the Father)  asked me "what is righteousness" Then asked me "how do you get righteousness."

God is faithful and righteous to forgive us 1 John. Because the sins were paid for by the blood of Jesus. He showed us mercy by calling us by the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Hebrews 10

26 For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,

27 But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.

Are you accusing mije of these things or are you saying that while we are alive we can, and will, sin?

It all can happen to us to do sinful things as we have not reached the finish line.

Thank you for clarifying what you meant with your statement.  It was reported as a personal attack.  Please. in the future, reread your post before posting it to ensure what you say is clearly what you meant.  Nobody can read your mind, only your words.
