The Doctrine of Being Saved From Sin

Biblical doctrine about sin goes like this:

Mk: 16:15-18: And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. 16: He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. 17: And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; 18: They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.

Rom: 6:3-14: Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death? 4: Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. 5: For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection: 6: Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin. 7: For he that is dead is freed from sin. 8: Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him: 9: Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him. 10: For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God. 11: Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord. 12: Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof. 13: Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God. 14: For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.

Rom: 8:3-5: For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh: 4: That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. 5: For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.

How could it be put any plainer? This is what God did for us. This knowledge was why Christians used to stand out from the rest. They used to be the cream of the crop. Now an attitude of “we are human” has reigned in its stead and we (Christians) have been reduced from being children of the living God sitting in high places back to the human condition again.

The mind-set above is from God. It is biblical and it is the truth that will set you free. The strength to walk in righteousness comes from God’s precept in these scriptures, not from cutting everyone a break by says, “We are only human.”

There Will Be Trials

To those who assume the Christians who are looking to be blessed of God according to the many promises in the Bible are looking for heaven on earth, I would say, “We are not looking for heaven on earth. We are looking for what has been promised.”

2Cor: 1:20: 20: For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us.

This means Christians are to ask for and expect help, healing, guidance, protection, deliverance and victory.

2Pet: 1:3-4: According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue: 4: Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.

It’s believing the promises that helps Christians escape the high pressures in life that cause people to make wrong choices.

1Pet: 1:3-7: Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 4: To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you, 5: Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. 6: Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations: 7: That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:

There are trials, problems, long suffering to endure. As Christians, our job is to believe what God has revealed and what He has promised and do what He has said to do. His job is to prepare us for eternal life--conforming us into the image of His Son.

We must not expect to be exempt from suffering and trials for they are growing pains. But we must believe God and expect to receive what He has promised. Many trials are because we are believing and the devil wants us to give up believing.

Jas: 1:2-4: My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations; 3: Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. 4: But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.

The good news is that our trials and sufferings are all well worth it, because they will be used to our good--if we love the Lord and are called according to His purpose.

Rom: 8:26-29: Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. 27: And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God. 28: And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. 29: For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.

1Pet: 4:1-2: Forasmuch then as Christ hath suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind: for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin; 2: That he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will of God.

And He meets our needs in the midst of the test, trials, and temptations. He administers, strength, comfort, joy, and encouragement. Remember He has not left us orphans, He has sent His Spirit.

Jn: 14:16-18: And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; 17: Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. 18: I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.

Instead of I will not leave you comfortless in Vs 18, the Amplified Bible says; I will not leave you orphans [comfortless, desolate, bereaved, forlorn, helpless] and it spells out what the comforter does. He is the Christian’s advocate, intercessor, standby, helper, counselor, and strengthener.

Praise the Lord, you will find that God has all bases covered.

You Are Soooo Valuable

A farmer found an egg in the bush around his house and placed it among other eggs. After some weeks, the egg hatched into an eaglet and grew among many chicks. The eaglet jumped highest, flew longer distance and was the champion of village competitions. Then one day, an older eagle looked down from the sky. He made the dive, picked up the young eagle by its claws, soared high in the air and let it go. The young eagle realized it was time to fly or die!

Friend, there are so many people who are scratching the dust like chicken when their place is in the sky soaring with the eagles. You are a very special, valuable and worthy person. It doesn’t matter what others have said you are. And even the self-imposed shackles around your life can never remove your worth.

Whose report about yourself will you believe?

Here are four reasons that undoubtedly make you special:

Reason # 1: God Knows Every Detail About You

Even before you were born, God knew you.1 He knows your name, desires, dreams. He even knows the number of hairs on your head.2 Every day of your life was recorded in his book.3 “I say this because I know what I am planning for you," says the Lord. "I have good plans for you, not plans to hurt you. I will give you hope and a good future.”4 The fact that God knows you make you very special.

Reason # 2: You Are Unique

None in the billions of people in the world has your fingerprint or DNA. None has your exact talents, gifts and abilities. None has gone through the same experiences you have. Your uniqueness makes you special, needed and valuable. You do not have to act, speak, dress or live like anyone else. Never compare yourself with others. Be the better you, not a copy of another.

Reason # 3: Only You Can Make The Contribution You Can Make

You were not an accident. You were born in a time such as this for a purpose. There is a contribution that God wants you to make in your family, community, nation and world.5 Unless you rise up to complete your mission, something will be a miss in the world. A drop in the ocean, makes part of the ocean.

Reason # 4: You Have The Freedom To Chose

You are not a robot to do as programmed. God has given you the freedom to choose the kind of life you want to lead. He has done his best to show the best way to live your life. He made you and knows how best you can become all you can be. That’s why he gave you the Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth. The Bible is God’s manual for knowing yourself, so you can accomplish his will for your life.

Starting today, say to yourself what God says about you. Seek Him to know more about yourself. Read His Word to know what he says about you. And your life will be tremendously changed.

And after you have known how valuable you are, help another person know how valuable they are.
