61 THINGS THAT WERE TRUE OF ME BEFORE I CAME TO CHRIST
IFB ^ | 1/12/19

Posted on 01/12/2019 8:39:12 PM PST by The Ignorant Fisherman

I was on the broad way (road) leading to destruction (Matthew 7:13). I was lost (Luke 19:10; 2 Corinthians 4:3). I was condemned already because of my unbelief (John 3:18; compare 1 Corinthians 11:32). I was a lover of darkness (John 3:19). I was under God's abiding wrath (John 3:36) awaiting God's coming wrath (Luke 3:7; Ephesians 5:6; Colossians 3:6). I was an ignorant worshipper (John 4:22). I was an evildoer deserving judgment (John 5:29; compare 3 John 11). I was of the world and from below or beneath (John 8:23). I was yet in my sins (John 8:21,24; compare John 20:23). I was a child of the devil (John 8:44). I was a Christ-rejecter (John 12:48). I was a Christ-hater (John 15:18) and a hater of those belonging to Christ (John 17:14). I was under the power of Satan (Acts 26:18; 1 John 5:19). I was unthankful, not giving honor to God (Romans 1:21). I was unrighteous (Romans 1:29-31; 3:10; 1 Corinthians 6:9-10). I was under sin (Romans 3:9) and sin-sick (Luke 5:31-32). I was unprofitable (Romans 3:12; compare Philemon 11). I was without the fear of God (Romans 3:18). I was guilty before God (Romans 3:19). I was a sinner (Romans 3:23; 5:8). I was without strength (Romans 5:6). I was ungodly (Romans 5:6; 4:5). I was God's enemy (Romans 5:10; Colossians 1:21). I was a servant (slave) of sin (Romans 6:17,20; John 8:34). I was deserving of death (Romans 6:23; compare 2 Thessalonians 1:8-9). I was in the flesh (Romans 7:5; 8:8). I was in danger of perishing (1 Corinthians 1:18; 2 Corinthians 2:15; Luke 13:3,5). I was a natural man who considered the things of God as foolishness (1 Corinthians 1:18; 2:14).

You needed all that to know that you lived a sinful life?
