"BY KNOW MEANS" ALSO USED IS "CERTAINLY NOT"

Can't you hear Paul asking.... "what are you doing??????

STOP SINNING!!!!!!

I CAN DO WHAT I WANT TO DO!!!!

I AM SAVED SO GOD WILL FORGIVE ME

DO YOUR ACTIONS SHOW YOU ARE A CHILD OF GOD?????

ONCE WE HAVE REPENTED WE ARE TO TURN OUR LIVES OVER TO GOD AND LIVE FOR HIM!!!!!

NO LONGER TO LIVE IN SIN!!!!

WE ARE NO LONGER BOUND UNDER SINS CONTROL!!!!

(ESV) 1 There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. 2 For the law of the Spirit of life has set you free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death.

OUR LIVES ARE NOW CHANGED.... WE ARE A NEW CREATURE

(KJV) 17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. 18 And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation;

we have become united with Christ through baptism

Christ has NO sin in Him,,,,, HE has ERASED OUR SIN SO STOOP FOLLOWING THE WORLD!!!!!

WHY IVE IN THE WORLD WHEN YOU HAVE BEEN SET FREE FROM IT????

(KJV) 20 I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.

YOU HAVE A CHOICE TO SIN OR NOT!!!!

(KJV) 26 For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,

THE DEVIL NO LONGER HAS CONTROL OVER YOU!!!!!

(ESV) 12 Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, to make you obey its passions. 13 Do not present your members to sin as instruments for unrighteousness, but present yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life, and your members to God as instruments for righteousness. 14 For sin will have no dominion over you, since you are not under law but under grace.

Paul even asks them AGAIN about sinning....

(ESV) 15 What then? Are we to sin because we are not under law but under grace? By no means! 16 Do you not know that if you present yourselves to anyone as obedient slaves, you are slaves of the one whom you obey, either of sin, which leads to death, or of obedience, which leads to righteousness? 17 But thanks be to God, that you who were once slaves of sin have become obedient from the heart to the standard of teaching to which you were committed, 18 and, having been set free from sin, have become slaves of righteousness.

TURN YOUR LIVES AROUND AND FOLLOW GODS PLAN FOR YOU!!!!

TAKE UP YOUR CROSS DAILY AND FOLLOW HIM!!!

LIVE TO RIGHTEOUSNESS AND ABHOR SIN.....

FOLLOW THE LORD TO GALGOTHA!!!!

LIVE TO CHRIST

(ESV) 21 For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain. 22 If I am to live in the flesh, that means fruitful labor for me. Yet which I shall choose I cannot tell. 23 I am hard pressed between the two. My desire is to depart and be with Christ, for that is far better. 24 But to remain in the flesh is more necessary on your account.

LIVE TO SHOW CHRIST TO A LOVED ONE!!!!
