As a Born Again Beleiver I am SINLESS
1. By Practice:
Helping someone feel better doesn't make me a physician.
Putting out a fire doesn't make me a fireman.
Playing a sport doesn't make me an athlete.
Stopping a crime doesn't make me a police officer.
Doing something wrong doesn't make me a sinner.
(1John 3:8-10)
2. By Position:
I was once under the law of sin and death. I was bound and obligated to fulfill my debt to the law, for the wages of sin is death... But Jesus came and paid my debt to the law and when he (God in the flesh) died he fulfilled my obligation to the law of God.
NOW I AM FREE TO SERVE HIM WITHOUT FEAR OF CONDEMNATION.
(Romans 7:2; 8:1,2)
"All things are lawful unto me..."
(1Corinthians 6:12; 10:23)
3. By Pardon:
I am what God says I am. If any man be in Christ he is a new creature old things are passed away; all things are become new.
(2Corinthians 5:17)
But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people that you should show forth the praise of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.
(1Peter 2:9)
