SINFREENESS IS A GIFT FROM GOD

1. Sinfreeness is the real reason for which Christ came on the earth, He came to make man sinless. Matt. 1:21; Tit. 2:14; 1 Jn. 3:5.
2. What does Sinfreeness mean? It means having no sin in the mind, emotions, and the works. 
a. Idols are removed from the mind thus it is devoid of sin. (Eze. 14:5,6,11; Eze. 36:25). 
b. Perverted emotions are inactivated or stopped, thus no feelings of sin are in the body. Rom. 6:6; Gal. 5:24; Rom. 8:3,4.

c. No evil works are done, thus they are all stopped. Ps. 119:3; Ps. 1:1. 3. Sinfreeness also means that God is in the mind and thus motivates obedience to the works of God’s Law.
a. God dwells in the man and that stops him from sinning. 1 Jn. 4:4,12,16,17. 
b. The sinless Holy Spirit is in the mind and this makes the person sinless. 1 Jn. 3:24. c. The Faith of Jesus Christ is in the mind and this causes the person to be sinless. (1 Jn. 5:4; Heb. 10:23).

d. The thoughts are the thoughts of the Gospel of Christ so the thoughts are indeed sinless. (2 Cor. 10:4,5; Pr. 12:5). e. Faith in the heart causes obedience to the Law of God, so that the person is sinless. (Rom. 3:28,30,31; 1 Jn. 5:2,3). f. The seed or the word of God precludes any sin transgression of the Law. (Lk. 8:11; 1 Jn. 3:9). g. The word of God in the mind causes no iniquity ti be done at all. Ps. 119:3-11. 4. We are command to sin not. 1 Cor. 15:34; Jn. 8:11; 1 Pet. 4:1,2. 5. Even though we are command not to sin after we have been made sinless, this does not mean that we can never sin, yes we can still sin if we choose to. 1 Jn. 2:1; Jam. 5:19. 6. However, if we sin, it is not God that makes us fall back into sin, we make ourselves sin. Gal. 
2:17,18. 
7. Sinless is a gift from God. This is seen in the following proof. a. When we are born again, this is being born of the Spirit. We are given the Holy Spirit. (Jn. 3:5-8; Gal. 3:7-9,14; Gal. 4:6). b. This Spirit liberates us from sin, thus Sinfreeness is a gift. (2 Cor. 3:17; 1 Jn. 3:24). c. Since the new birth is a gift of God and it makes us sinless, then Sinfreeness is a gift of God. 1 Jn. 3:9; 1 Jn. 5:18. d. When we are justified by the Faith of Jesus, this Jesus Christ who is sinless lives within our hearts, thus we are sinless as a gift by being given sinless Christ. (Gal. 2:16, 20; 1 Pet. 2:21,22). e. Justification is in fact sanctification or separation from sin, thus the person must be sinless as a gift of God. 1 Cor. 6:9-11; Heb. 10:2. 8. Thus Sinfreeness is not something we struggle for to achieve at the future at some undefined time; Sinfreeness is the real purpose for the gift of salvation, because, as salvation is from sin, the gift really makes the person sinless. (Tit. 3:5-7; Rev. 1:5). 9. When God regenerates the penitent, He wants the person to recognize that they are indeed sinless, and must count themselves so. Rom. 6:11. 10. Since the struggle is not to make us sinless, what is it then for? The struggle is meant to keep us from falling back into sin. (1 Jn. 3:3,6,18, 1 Jn. 4:7; 1 Jn. 2:28,29); Jude. 20,21; Heb. 2:18; Heb. 3:6,12-14; Heb. 5:7,8. a. Our struggle is really against infirmities leading us into sin, this is proper struggle. b. There is another struggle which is improper in the sense that we are double minded as to if we want the gratification of sin or not, this struggle is to convince the mind to give up sin and not go back into it; this struggle happens when the mind is not make up entirely for Righteousness only. 11. We are to resist the devil so that he shall flee from us making us not subject to his temptations, thus maintaining our state of Sinfreeness. (Jam. 4:7; 1 Jn. 3:8). 12. If the sinless person keeps himself from the devil, he shall not be able to touch him, so the person remains sinless. (1 Jn. 5:18; 1 Jn. 4:4). 
Fin.

Disproving the So-called Forensic Gospel

Disproving the So-called Forensic Gospel INTRODUCTION 1. The Bible tells us that any false gospel is a thing cursed by God. Galatians 1:6-9. 2. The false gospel makes us say Lord, Lord, but do not His Will, such people are lost.  Matthew 7:21-23. 3. The false gospel is described as untempered mortar that cannot help. Ezekiel 13:9-16. 4. It also tells a person peace, peace, (which is given by Justification) when there is no peace.  Romans 5:1; Jeremiah 8:10, 11. 5. However, the real Gospel is described as the power or science of God unto salvation  because it makes the believer, live by Faith. Romans 1:16, 17. 6. The Bible clearly explains that the Gospel of God’s Grace teaches denying ungodliness, it  teaches living righteously, it teaches that the purpose of the sacrifice of Christ was to  redeem us from all iniquities, (not in them), and to purify a people who are preoccupied  with performing good works. This is what ...

WHAT OUR INQUIRY ABOUT OURSELVES SHOULD BE?

WHAT OUR INQUIRY ABOUT OURSELVES  SHOULD BE? We are in the very last days, we are told that the last controversy will be very short. “We are standing on the threshold of great and solemn events. Prophecies are fulfilling. The last great conflict will be short, but terrible. Old controversies will be revived. New controversies will arise. We have a great work to do. Our ministerial work must not cease. The last warning must be given to the world. There is a special power in the presentation of the truth at the present time. How long will it last? Only a little while.” Ellen G. White, Selected Messages bk. 3, pg. 419. And in view of the lateness of time, what should be the inquiry of everyone? We are told: “The inquiry of everyone should be ‘whose am I? To whom do I owe allegiance? Is my heart renewed? Is my soul reformed? Are my sins forgiven? Will they be blotted out when the time of refreshing shall come?” Ibid, pg. 419. We must needs examine ourselves to see if we...
