The dividing line.
There is a dividing line between sin and righteousness, it does exist….
And the knowing of where that line would be and how to tell where that line is, would be of great value to those that would go on with God….
Scripture says; ‘whatever is not of faith is sin’, making the two opposing camps faith and sin… Whereby that in itself would be the dividing line…
But what is meant by this statement, faith or sin?
We all know what sin is, so that is self explanatory and we all know what faith is, so that also would be self explanatory, therefore, so the dividing line itself would be self explanatory….
But it’s not…
That is because until one sees that all it can do to stop sinning, is to look away from oneself to God to cause them to stop sinning… One will continue to try to stop themselves from sinning which will produce sin… Looking away from oneself to God by faith is the only thing that will produce this ceasing from sin that is promised in scripture…
Therefore does scripture put faith against sin as the two camps… One is either in one or the other at all times.. One can and will vacillate between the two till one is convinced in the heart of the truth of this scripture… But once one is, glory, freedom and rest from one’s own doings will be the hallmark of one’s life… A stopping of sinning? Yes… But only to the degree of one’s looking away from oneself to Him that can stop one from sinning, and to the degree this looking away from oneself will be constant, so will that consistency produce a growing in the doing of righteousness that will not be done by the power of self, but by the power of the endless life that has been brought to birth in one…
The dividing line will be known by experience and that line will produce fruit in it’s time and that fruit will abide….
