Sin ....is a genetic predisposition.
“sin” is what we do.
SIN , is inherited from The First Adam , and ends in death.
Eternal Life , is inherited through The Second (Last) Adam.
Jesus did not come to save us from our “sins”.
Jesus sacrificed Himself to Redeem Humans from SIN/Death.
The object is not to live “purposefully” but to
Live Born Again as Redeemed Saints in the Body of Christ.
A drug dealer lives purposefully yet is lost as a Ball In High Weeds.
Great post.
Yes, we are bought back from the sin we sold ourselves to.
Catholics tend to focus so much on avoiding sin as if avoiding sin makes us right with God.
Avoiding sin does not make us right with God.
What makes us right with God is the forgiveness we are given through the shed blood of Jesus and the righteous nature of Jesus credited to our account.
It doesn’t matter if we sin, what we sin, or how much we sin. The entire sin debt that stood against us is cancelled out at the cross and God can now give us HIS righteousness and after giving us HIS righteousness, relate to us as if we had the sinless perfection of Jesus, IN SPITE OF our sin and continued sinfulness.
