I just keep praying that I might be counted among the harvest, as I have not yet put away all my sin.
Thankfully, there’s grace, but it is not my desire to make grace greater.. (Rom 6:2)
AmateurExpert, none of us can put away our sin because the Bible teaches us that we are still sinners until the day we die. But because of God's grace, through Jesus Christ, anyone can be saved from an eternal death, separated from God. Anyone can know for certain that they are part of the harvest, as you said. Ephesians 2:8-9 "For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith-- and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God-- not by works, so that no one can boast." Romans 10:9- says, "That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you belive and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved...... verse 13 "for ' Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.'"
Can't agree more, we all sin. People always will sin, myself included. The only time we will be sin free is other the other side of this life. And only if we are washed in the blood of Jesus Christ.
The difference is, do we repent, hand it to God, and get back on track with the mission Christ gave us in (Matthew 4:19 follow me and I will make you fishers of men.)
Follow Christ's teachings (follow me)
Be changed by Christ (I will make you)
And on mission to make disciples who make disciples. (Fishers of men)
Doesn't mean we won't slip into old ways of the flesh but that we know to look up and crawl out. Or avoid the hole when possible. If that makes since.
I prefer to live and motivate myself as though it was possible and trying to help the refiner hammer out the dross impurities, while praying that grace is sufficient for my astrayances. Lord knows I’ll need plenty.
Matthew 7:21-23
Those people cast out devils and did many wonderful works greater than these, and they did not enter!!
Psalm 111:10
There’s no harm in fearing Elohim.
The only acceptable fear is fear of the Lord. Any other fear is, inherently, blasphemy. For anything else involving sin, I highly recommend listening to this, or reading the transcript. Someone linked it earlier today, and man, it was exactly what I needed to hear today, regarding the nature of sin and forgiveness: https://stone-choir.com/all-sins-are-not-equal/
