I know that it has been forever since the last post, I have been awful at quiet times lately. It only takes a day of forgetting to get out of the habit, why is that?
Anyway...
Chapter 6 was good, Charles talk about the slavery of sin and the fact that our slave master (Satan) wants us to live in that sin and think that it is freedom. It's true, so many people do.
I do not really think that I am living in this falsehood. I certainly sin sometimes, but I don't feel that I "continue to sin that grace may abound," as it says in Romans 6.
I need to study through Romans again someday, but it is so deep and I find it hard to follow, but it was good to walk through Romans 6 with Charles. He said that you need to KNOW that you are free. Our Identity has been changed since we accepted Christ. We are like a fabric dipped in red die, changed forever, one with Christ.
He also said that you need to CONSIDER ourselves to be dead to sin.
And lastly, to PRESENT ourselves to God as free.
p. 112: Not only must there be intelligent calculation (consider) based on true information (know), there also has to be a presentation of ourselves to God.
