Honestly, we all willfully sin. You, Me...everyone. We take our sins to Christ, confess them and He is sure to forgive them.
HE COVERS THEM WITH HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS.
It is all about what God has done for us.
WE can offer nothing to God. It is Christ and Him crucified!
How great is the love and mercy God has for man. Praise God, magnify God.
In Christ

Not at all, we have two natures. As men we do fail. This is why Christ is our covering. We place our trust in Him. He has done it all for us. We as Christians consider the flesh as dead already, We live in Christ.How can we willfully sin if we are walking in the Spirit. Does the Spirit lead us to sin, especially willfully?

Jason, you do understand Paul is talking to Israel here. If you return to the Law, Christ's sacrifice is for naught. It is ineffective.Well, actually, the Bible gives us the answer in Hebrews 10:26.
Anyways, I am taking a break for a bit today.
I might be back later.
May the Lord's love shine upon you all.

When you come to Christ and believe the Gospel. Christ has died for our sins according to scripture, He was buried and on the third day He rose from the grave according to scripture.What do you mean we "consider" the flesh as dead already? Isn't is really?
Carry each others burdens and so fulfill the law if Christ gal6:2Jesus says if you will enter into life, keep the commandments (Matthew 19:17).
This is not in conflict with God's grace but it is in harmony with it.
When you say I am under the law of righteousness, I assume you mean that that the keeping of the commandments is entering into life that Jesus is talking about, right?
However, not all 1,050 + New Testament commands they list deal with the second death (Lake of Fire) if they are disobeyed and or not repented of.
There are sins that lead to death and sins that do not lead to death (1 John 5:16-17).
...
Rom 1-7 is talking about applicable NC law. Or do you believe the Christian is entitled to covet/ lust?Yes, Romans 1 through 7 is talking about OT law. But 6 begins to show us that even though the law made us aware of SIN, we are DEAD TO SIN. Why, because of NT SPIRIT. Now instead of law on stone, we follow after the Spirit who wrote the law on our conscience and also gives us the power to keep by our new lack of desire to sin.
In Matthew 7:23, we learn that those who did many wonderful works and also worked iniquity (sin) were told by Christ to depart from Him.
Matthew 7:26-27 says he that does not do what Jesus says is like a fool who built his house upon the sand when a storm came, great was the fall of that house.
So I do not see any OSAS here in Matthew 7.
Actually, I see Matthew 7 as teaching against it.

When you come to Christ and believe the Gospel. Christ has died for our sins according to scripture, He was buried and on the third day He rose from the grave according to scripture.
You are truly born again, if you truly believe the Gospel. This is why we Baptize one another.
First, because Christ commanded us to do so.
Second, because it is a public declaration that Christ has redeemed you.
Third, It represents our own death and resurrection.
We died, we are resurrected with Christ. It is no longer us, but Christ that lives in us. We are now born of the Grace of God, not under the Law.
In Christ

Actually I do, I am at peace. I am rested as I rest in Christ. I know exactly when the Holy Spirit takes control, gives me the words to say. I am humbled by Him. My anger is gone. I could never put to words the peace God has given me.But do you feel any different?

Have a read of rom 7:4-11. It's all linked togetherHuh? You know me better than that.
Again I have two natures fighting within me. My flesh does want to sin. My spirit hates it. O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death?Do you still desire to sin?
My friend, you are so close. Until you get to the but than...
You said:From this point on you are born again, Born under the Grace of God. This is where God no longer imputes sin to the Believer. For Blessed is the man whom the Lord does not impute sin. Being born under Grace, you are no longer under the Law. Christ is your covering. The Holy Spirit begins to work in your life.
You said:The problem is Jason, you think you are good. Man is not good, only God. The great message is, God's mercy is upon us!
You said:Btw, The sin unto death is unbelief. Christ has cleansed us from all other sin. The sins not unto death are the sins Christ has washed away.
You said:For the wages of sin are death. But the gift of God is eternal life through Christ our Lord. see how those fit together?
You said:In Christ
