"Today's lesson is a continuing explanation of what is and is not sin so far as one's eternal soul is concerned.
As was explained in yesterday's lesson, the sin that condemns one's eternal soul to hell, is a sin that consumes both body and spirit. That kind of sin is inherent in every one of us because of the disobedience of Adam and the condemnation to death that God placed upon him. Therefore, Unless we accept, by faith, the sacrifice of the virgin borne, only begotten son of God, and are reborn in the Spirit, we are damned to an eternity in hell. "Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God." (1 John 3-9)
However, once we have accepted that perfect sacrifice and have placed our souls in the hands of Jesus Christ, we are forever immune to ANY sin in the spirit. "Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God." (1 John 3-9)
"That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is Spirit is spirit". We definitely continue to sin in the flesh because our flesh is conceived and born in sin.
We will always be sinners in the flesh and if we don't repent those sins and ask forgiveness, those sins will go with us until we sit at the "judgment seat of Christ" to receive our just rewards for the good we have done as well as the punishment we will receive for the bad we have done; "For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad." (2 Corinthians 5-10) ~
