DO CHRISTIANS SIN? YES.

"By the grace of GOD I am what I am, and HIS grace toward me did not prove vain." 1Corinthians 15:10

"He delivered us from the domain of darkness, and transferred us to the kingdom of HIS beloved Son. " Colossians 1:13

GOD did deliver all of  us  from the domain of darkness and transferred us to HIS kingdom, so , can we still be in both kingdoms? When GOD declares that we are not in the flesh but in the spirit as in Romans 8:9 can we be both at the same time?When GOD said we were in darkness and now light can we be both? If GOD says that if we are in Christ and we are a new creation , all of the old passed away and now all things are new in us , can we be both?
Can a Christian sin? we all know that answer, it is a big YES! If any one says differently they do not speak the truth!
Having sin and 'being' sin are two different  issues as a Christian. When we choose to live as our body -flesh- Adam's nature, dictates we will sin, but the fact of the matter is that we DO NOT HAVE TO SIN if we chose not to. 1 John 2:1 reminds us that we do not have to sin. It is no longer in our Nature to sin as it was before we Called Upon Christ to Save our  Souls.
If we, as Christ followers believe that we are part light and part darkness, part sinner and saint we WILL live a mediocre life, with very little to distinguish us from non believers.We may confess that we are prone to sin and that we are striving to do better, but that only leads to a defeated life, why? Because our perception  of ourselves is what guides our actions, and to continue to believe that you ARE a sinner saved by grace then we will live our lives no different than before we were saved and so we will  just be hanging on until we die or Christ Returns. If we believe we are no different from the rest of the world who are non believers then we are in fact no different.The problem in most of our lives who claim to be Christian is that we are IGNORANT of our true identities in Christ Jesus , Yeshua the Messiah. Our inner change from being in Adam to being in Christ happened already in all Christians  (well the fact of the matter it happened for all people of all time, they just do not know it),but for the Believer it happened at our new birth when we  first believed and called on the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, this is called Justification and that is a done deal in the life of a Believer. We have been justified ALREADY and nothing more can be done by us to change what GOD had already done In us by our salvation in Christ redemption.The difference between the believer and non believer is that we know this happened and they do not. But the Progressive work of sanctification will continue through out the rest of our life on earth as believers.But the radical , inner transformation of the justification that happened when we first believed is only fully effective when  it is realized and appropriated by faith in Christ who is doing the work in us. It is as if we came into alot of money , lets say ,an inheritance but if we do not know this, we can not make use of what we already have and so it lays dormant and we live in poverty until we become aware of our inheritance , once we know we have it we then start can start using it.
So if you continue to claim and perceive that you ARE a sinner,what will be the consequence? You will believe that sin is at the core our your identity, which is contrary to what the Bible teaches. Lets believe GOD , that Jesus is at the core of our being and then we will begin to live like it by HIS Spirit , AMEN.

What do these words really mean , that we as Christians use all the time. SALVATION,JUSTIFICATION, REDEMPTION,SANCTIFICATION, ATONEMENT? This will be my next topic of discussion.

Oh Holy ONE of Blessing,YOUR Presence fills the creation and us, thank YOU Father, that we are complete in YOUR Son JESUS/YESHUA and that our identity is rooted in HIM and not in our sin.Thank YOU for waking us up to the fact of YOUR SALVATION AND YOUR GIFT OF ETERNAL LIFE WHICH IS KNOWING YOU AND OUR LORD JESUS/YESHUA THE MESSIAH ! amen.
