" Donna, Are you still sinning? Have you you reached perfection yet?"
Donna writes:
I am perfect in this way: All of my past sins --and present sins of
ignorance have been forgiven.
" Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is
in Christ Jesus: Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through
faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of
SINS THAT ARE PAST, through the forbearance of God;" Rom 3:24-25
I DO NOT KNOWINGLY DISOBEY GOD. So, my present sins are sins of
ignorance that are forgiven by the blood of Jesus.
(The scriptures teach that even sins of ignorance require forgiveness,
through the atonement.) See Numbers 15:27-29)
I have made a committment that I will never knowingly disobey God. I
have faith in God that He will never allow me to be tempted beyond
what I am able to bear. And, I depend upon the enabling power of the
Holy Spirit to make victory over sin possible in my times of
temptation.
Because of my love of God, I always choose to obey Him. Through the
enabling power of the Holy Spirit, I put to death the sinful deeds of
the body.
GOD SAYS:
1 John 3:6 Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not:
1 John 3:8 He that committeth sin is of the devil;
1 John 3:9 Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin;
1 John 5:18 We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not;
Donna Kupp
I am not a Seventh Day Adventist (and never have been), a natural
Jew, or a Catholic. I am simply the least of Christ's brethren who
love Him and keep His Commandments.
