THE TRUE NATURE OF SINFREENESS

Forgiveness offers us another chance for sinfreeness not a way to sin freely without fear of condemnation or damnation.
Truly asking God to forgive you of your sins involves Holy Spirit motivated repentance, a repentance that acknowledges the sinful values you had that caused you to sin are really empty to bring satisfaction, purpose, meaning and pleasure. Asking forgiveness also involves accepting Christ's divine character to replace your sinful idol values. If a person believes they have to sin then they cannot take responsibility for their choices and thus cannot be sorry for wrong done or appreciate the Divine Nature that is being offered by God to replace their carnal mind that caused them to sin.
1Corinthians 10:13
"There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it."

If you sin (not when you sin) you have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the Righteous. 1John 2:1. The earlier part of the verse says "My little children, these things I write to unto you, that he sin not". So please don't use God's available mercy as an excuse to transgress His law.
P.S. When we are forgiven which is conversion we obtain the Spiritual mind in place of the carnal mind. The carnal mind must be replaced in forgiveness because it is void of the Spirit of Christ and is not subject to the law of God (See Rom.8:6-10). It must be replaced because it is impossible to live sinfree with the carnal mind. When we sin we build back the carnal mind which which was destroyed (Gal.2:17-18) in conversion/forgiveness. Thus forgiveness in giving us the Spiritual mind in Christ cleanses us of all unrighteousness and gives us another chance to live sinfree.

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...

DID ELLEN G. WHITE EVER CALL THE S.D.A. CHURCH BABYLON IN ANY WAY? BY NYRON MEDINA

In the Bible is brought to view the following statement: “And after these things I  saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was  lightened with his glory. And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying,  Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird. For all  nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the  earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are  waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies. And I heard another voice  from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her  sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.” Revelation 18:1-4. Of this Scripture  we are told that it speaks about the Church, fallen because of sins. “In amazement  they [the people...

IMPUTED AND IMPARTED RIGHTEOUSNESS EXPLAINED By Nyron Medina

IMPUTED AND IMPARTED RIGHTEOUSNESS  EXPLAINED By Nyron Medina Statement of the case 1. Imputed and imparted righteousness are usually seen as different things in apostate  theology; they are presented as happening either successively or at the very same time,  but they are presented as two different salvific functions.  “In this most illuminating paragraph, the writer traces two distinct phases in the process  of our salvation—two complementary aspects of the plan of redemption—which are in a  certain sense successive, but at the same time simultaneous; two different operations of  the same righteousness of Christ, which alone can satisfy the demands of divine justice  and make saints of us. Let us analyze in outline form these two phases:  A. THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF CHRIST BY WHICH WE ARE JUSTIFIED.  1. It is imputed to us, which is, credited, granted freely without our earning it.  2. It provides our r...
