Because of sin (Adam and the fall) man was separated from God, but Jesus is our intercessor and we are now reconciled to God because of Him. Here is a nice quote:
"We think we have problems in this world, but ultimately, we have a greater problem. The problem of our sin! Because of our sin we...
So you agree that He redeems you from sin...you past, present and future sins. We will still continue to sin because we live in sinful bodies...but we are Redeemed because Christ atoned for our sins at the cross.
"extra nos (EX-tra nohs), which means “outside ourselves.” The Gospel, the forgiveness of sins for Jesus’ sake, is outside of us. It doesn’t depend on us. It’s there and it’s true, whether we believe it or not, whether we can feel it or not, or whether we like it or not. Extra nos means that...
You are correct that God does not keep a record...but it's for those who believe in the Messiah since He died for the forgiveness of our sins. And we, as believers bear more fruit because of that forgiveness. It's that sweet Gospel truth that has reconciled us to God, redeeming us from sin and...
God's Holy Law is still LAW. The Law cannot bring you to redemption, only the Redeemer (Jesus the Christ) can reconcile you with God. I know you believe that you can work your way to eternity instead of trusting in Jesus as the path (because you've said so repeatedly on here) but that's not the...

If Jesus doesn't redeem you from sin and subsequently eternal hell, then what does He redeem you from?
I've seen members here say Jesus is their Savior and then say that they still don't believe they'll have eternal life. But why do they say that? What exactly do you think Jesus has redeemed...
Law & Gospel. Learn the proper distinction of each and then you'll understand how Jesus is the great Redeemer and not yourself. We've derailed this thread enough. If you want to start a new thread on why you think Jesus can't redeem you then please do.
My opinion is that I don't buy YOUR version of what you call a gospel. I am fed upon God's Word and I feel that your videos are not leading people toward Jesus who died for the forgiveness of our sins, which is what Christianity is about.
I don't attend at the church I'm at now and that's because I have a very long travel time there and back. At my old church I was only a few minutes away so I was there all the time for many studies and church happenings.
The burden of the Law bears down on us daily because we still live in these sinful bodies. If we say we have no sin we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us.
Thanks be to God we are redeemed by the Christ who died for us.
Lots of appointments this week...can't wait until they're done. Eating breakfast now and trying to get laundry done and other stuff as well before I head out.
The Law won't save us because it puts a burden on us. It's the Gospel, the good news that the Messiah died for the forgiveness of our sins that relieves us of that burden and gives us peace. That's what creates new life in us and we bear fruit.
