BIBLE VERSES CHRISTIANS SEEM TO IGNORE!

BELIEVERS ARE NOT SINLESS!

Romans 7:14-15, 24-25 (in my words) - For we know that God's Law is spiritual:  but we prisoners of our bodies which love sin.  For that which we preach against, we find ourselves doing. . . . O WRETCHED HYPOCRITES THAT WE ARE; WHO SHALL DELIVER US FROM THESE BODIES OF SIN AND DEATH?  I thank God, we are going to be delivered through Jesus Christ!  So, until then, we will determine to live according to God's will, but realize that Christ's likeness has yet to be formed in us!   

Philippians 1:3-6; 2:13 (in my words) - I thank my God upon every remembrance of you, always in every prayer of mine for you all, making requests for you with joy, thanking God for your fellowship in the Gospel from the first day until now; and being confident of this very thing:  HE WHO HAS BEGUN A GOOD WORK IN YOU, WILL CONTINUE WORKING IN YOU UNTIL THE DAY JESUS CHRIST IS COMPLETELY FORMED IN YOU. . . . For it is God Who works in you both to will and to do of His good pleasure.

1 John 1:8-10; 3:2 (in my words) - If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.  If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.  If we say that we have not sinned, we are calling God a liar, and His Word is not in us. . . . Beloved, now are we the children of God, and although it does not yet appear what we shall be:  but we know that, WHEN HE SHALL APPEAR, WE SHALL BE LIKE HIM, FOR WE SHALL SEE HIM AS HE IS!

BUT BELIEVERS ARE TO SIN LESS!

John 5:14 (in my words) - Afterward, Jesus found him in the temple, and said unto him, Behold, you are made whole: SIN NO MORE, unless a worse thing should come upon you.

John 8:10-11 (in my words) - When Jesus had lifted Himself up, and saw no one but the woman, He said unto her, Woman, where are your accusers?  Has no one condemned you?  She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn you:  GO AND SIN NO MORE!

1 Corinthians 15:33-34 (in my words) - Be not deceived:  evil communications corrupt good manners.  AWAKE TO RIGHTEOUSNESS, AND DO NOT CONTINUE SINNING; for some lack a true knowledge of God:  I speak this to your shame.

2 Timothy 2:19 (in my words) - Nevertheless, the foundation of God stands sure, having this seal, The Lord knows those who are His.  And, LET EVERYONE WHO NAMES THE NAME OF CHRIST DEPART FROM INIQUITY! 

BELIEVERS ARE FAR FROM PERFECT,

BUT WE DO NOT HAVE LONG TO WAIT!

COME LORD JESUS!
