[MurphsLaw]

You stopped being a servant when you said .. Yes.
Although Christ speaks to all of us - not all listen.
You are set aside because you TRUST in his Word, to do his Will. He calls you friend now. Many of us are still yet asleep.

+++"I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master's business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you."+++

>>You are set aside because you TRUST in his Word, to do his Will. He calls you friend now<<

Scripture tells us that our sins are no longer imputed to us. Put away as far as the East is to the West.

In the book of Romans, sin is referenced 46 or 47 out of 49 times as a noun, not a verb. Hamartia.

In other words, not what you do but who you are. You were born into a nature of sin. You did not choose it, nor did you do anything to cause it. You were born into a nature of sin through Adam. Jesus is the 2nd Adam. By one man sin entered into the world, by one man (Jesus) we have been reconciled to the Father.

Jesus came not only to forgive what we have done, but to transform our sinful nature into a righteous nature as it was before the fall in the garden.

God set forth a plan to bring His creation back into right standing with Him. He wants a family to fellowship with Him through eternity. It is through Jesus we are transformed.

Do we struggle with sin...yes, but those who’ve accepted God’s saving grace through the shed blood of the Lamb have been rescued from the curse of the law, sin and death.
