How are we to reckon ourselves as being dead to sin?

[Michiah-Imla]

don't count yourself out.

Just post scripture and count yourself out.

Easy.

 

[Eternally Grateful]

Ephesians 1:7

In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace

Colossians 1:14
in whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins.

People want to talk about a walk. they do not want to talk about the means and power behind the walk. nor do they want to talk about the dire situation mankind is in. We are dead in sin, and unless we are made alive. we can walk all we want. we will recieve the judgment we all deserve.

 

[Johann]

Ephesians 1:7

In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace

Colossians 1:14

I have noticed many are just play acting on a platform, with placards--almost as if it a rally--or a voting station, guess anything goes on social media.

That parable warns and exhorts, that's what it does. Nothing more, nothing less.

Lazarus is Greek for eliezer.

 

[Waiting on him]

Genesis 15:2-4 KJV
[2] And Abram said, Lord God, what wilt thou give me, seeing I go childless, and the steward of my house is this Eliezer of Damascus? [3] And Abram said, Behold, to me thou hast given no seed: and, lo, one born in my house is mine heir. [4] And, behold, the word of the Lord came unto him, saying, This shall not be thine heir; but he that shall come forth out of thine own bowels shall be thine heir.

and a far greater seed would indeed spring forth . God took abraham up to that moutain to show him something .
To test and to prove him and to show Him . That GOD would indeed PROVIDE a LAMB .
Abraham actually believed and thus he did .
GOD had told abraham that in ISSAC would THY SEED be called . THY SEED be called .
Thus as the author of hebrews wrote , ACCOUNTING THAT GOD would even raise HIM from the dead .
Abraham believed GOD with such faith HE actually believed GOD would have to raise his own son back up
to fullfill HIS OWN PROMISE that IN ISSAC thy seed would be called . THAT IS FAITH .
and thy seed . THY SEED WHICH IS CHRIST . THAT IS THE SEED . To abraham too was the gospel preached .
Paul was right about that too my friend .
Many men can and do try and teach things JESUS taught , and yet they never POINT TO HE ALONE .
Did you know that in every false religion , like buddism , and others they still teach
good works . YET they false .
The POINT of this message is this . Teaching folks to love and to do certain things , without HAVING FAITH IN CHRIST
is like a man who went into his bathroom and figured out how to turn on the water
then CALLS HIMSELF A PLUMBER and tells all LET ME TEACH THEE on how to be a plumber .
ITS VAIN . The man only knew a wee bit of truth , he could turn the water on , BUT THAT IS ABOUT IT . HE AINT no plumber
nor is any man a PROPHET , if said PROPHET REFUSES to BELIEVE and TO TEACH the DIRE NECESSITY of FAITH IN CHRIST .

It's not easy growing old. She doesn't like being spoken to as if she is a child, by her child. And it is for her child's sake that she still tries to maintain her "motherhood" because we will always feel our children need us to be their mother. Lord bless her.

This is so true I have worked with the elderly on a daily basis since 2015. I'm in the Senior Assisted Living industry. Respect and Dignity are key principles. I see this with families all of the time which is why its difficult to be a caregiver with your parents. They are still your parents and they take things like that as being disrespectful even if they do not verbalize it with their children. When they move into a senior living community most often their relationships with the children improve.

When we read in the torah we see that in their days
many false prophets had arisen and were teaching and seducing the very peoples .
And just as their were false prophets among them , SO TOO shall there be false teachers among you . WROTE PETER .
Bringing in damanable heresays , denying even the LORD , as the social gosple does , who brought them
and they shall bring upon themselves SWIFT DESTRUCTION .
And MANY shall follow their pernescious ways by reason of whom the TRUTH shall be evil spoken of .
SOUNDS LIKE TODAY . They are all over places and DENY the DIRE NEED of CHRIST
they speak evil of the truth and many are following their all inclusive pernecious sin accepting ways .

Go to and examine well what the days and times looked like in Israel , jerusalem
RIGHT before GOD JUDGED and destroyed his own people . those who lipped his name but their hearts were far from him .

Lazarus is Greek for eliezer.

Yes...are you implying that Lazarus was a Gentile? Not so. The gospels were written in Greek. And Greek was commonly spoken by the Jews in Israel at that time....Greek was the dominant culture back then from what I understand.

God bless you for that good work.

I have been really blessed this year as I found a job working for a place that has a program to help those who are living on SSI and MediCare who have no assets, even the homeless can qualify to live there. The previous places I worked were all private pay that would cost anywhere from 4k to 12k per month.

 

[amigo de christo]

God bless you for that good work.

Yes . more christains are needed in it . My dear sisters mother was in a home .
She was not treated good . Some of them working in that place
supported certain sins , and her dear mother was a God loving and fearing woman . She wasnt always
treated so well by those folks . In some of those places they are so about the money
that they hire as little people as they can and thus everyone is so worn out and tired
and the poor eldery dont have great care either . Its sad .
But i do have good news . Her mother is in a far better place now . a place that all the lambs do look forward too .
PRAISE be to the glorious LORD . FOR IN JESUS CHRIST ALONE , those who believe in HIM
have a wonderful home awaiting them . SOLEY SAVED by grace through faith in CHRIST . Let that get said till the last and
final breath . SOLEY SAVED by GRACE through FAITH IN CHRIST . A GIFT . Come one and come all
to the ONLY ONE WHO CAN SAVE , CHRIST JESUS the GLORIOUS RISEN KING and SAVOIR .

That is wonderful news.
Thank God for places like this....... there should be no shortage of them.

Let bibles and true christains be placed in said places too . May they become CHRIST CENTERED places .

I do see your point. Thank you for reminding me. Nurses come in often to assist when she falls and has to do physical therapy to get back to where she was. They do talk about how hard it is to lose your independence. Good news is mom uses her walker now without us telling her to. But I could tell for the longest time she would rather do anything other than need it.

 

[Behold]

Let bibles and true christains be placed in said places too . May they become CHRIST CENTERED places .

Amen, and, Amen.

as pertaining to the flesh my friend . We know JESUS had no earthly father . TRUTH IS
HE was before creation even was . But as far as the flesh , that was the line of the lineage .
Ps . Dont be one who might know truths , YET WONT POINT to the DIRE NECESSITY of CHRIST .
cause , that wont bode well on the day of CHRIST . Rather , preach n teach , n speak , n say
to all that has breath , BELIEVE YE IN CHRIST JESUS , and then teach the good works .
We basically have two groups at work . ONE is far , far , far larger in number .
They teach being saved , not through faith but through our own merits .
There is a very small group , IT teaches being saved through faith in CHRIST and reminds all who beleive to doers .
One group is Right the other one is dead wrong .
PS dont go by numbers cause you gonna be dead wrong . ITS the smaller group who puts their faith in CHRIST
and reminds all to do the same , THAT is correct . Budda and all the good works aint gonna save them
hindu , atheism , whateverism is not gonna save them . FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST is what will save one .
