We're not sinners because we sin.

Posted by SoulSecure - April 13th, 2016


I was watching Through The Bible with Les Feldick this morning and he said something that I think I tend to forget myself, "We're not sinners because we sin. We sin because we're sinners."

Ephesians 2:3 "Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others."

Guys, we're born sinners and we sin, because that's our nature.
We can try to fight it and try to be a better person and try to stop doing this or that and try to go to church and try reading the Bible, but we need to stop TRYING and we need to start TRUSTING in Jesus' finished work on the cross.

Ephesians 2:4-7 continues "But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;) And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus."

We are sinners and we can't save ourselves from our inherent sin nature, but Jesus Christ, the Son of God who was made flesh to die on the cross and pay our sin-debt and rose out from among the dead into life can forgive you of your sins and change you from 'Condemned Sinner' into a 'Friend of God'. Trust in Him.
