He set me free

Heb 10:1 For the law having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect.

Perfect from what? Sin, (Hebrews 10:10,11,12,14)

Heb 10:2 For then they would have ceased to be offered? because that the worshippers once purged should have had no more conscience of sins.

The sacrifices of the law could not take away sin or make the worshiper perfect from a rememberance of sin.

Heb 10:3 But in those sacrifices there is a remembrance again made of sins every year.
Heb 10:4 For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins.

1Jo 3:5 And ye know that he (Jesus) was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin.

Joh 1:29 The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.

Rom 11:27 For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins.

 

[regibassman57]

If we as believers do not have a conscience of sins, we don't have a rememberance of sin. GOD has prophised to us that He will not remember our sins, because Jesus would come and take them away.

Isa 43:25 I, even I, am he that blotteth out thy transgressions for mine own sake, and will not remember thy sins.

This is past, present and future.

 

[Ivar]

Mhmm?
When I personally do something wrong I do not learn if I do not remember or am conscious of it. Perhaps that not remembering our sins is in the context of forgiving us from our sins

 

[Ivar]

Ok. Once he has blotted them out there is no need for him to remember.
When it comes to us I believe we should learn from our sins and draw closer to him. That being the case I am not aware of learning from mistakes of our sins if we forget our sins entirely. Not to mention we are still in flesh and still corruptibe. A falling away could be possible

 

[regibassman57]

GOD is not remembering our sins, because He took away the sin (singular) of the world. The nature of sin in GOD's eyes has been done away with. The prince of this world has been condemned (John 12:31). GOD calls those things which be not as though they were. If GOD said sin has been condemned, taken away, removed, put away, we are healed from sin and many other ways He expresses it to us, we believe Him.

Sin comes from the heart of man:
Mat 15:19 For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies:

It is impossible for sin to abide or even develop in the new heart that GOD has given us. This is not because we do not do anything wrong, its just that GOD is not imputing sin to us, He is not concluding us to have sinned. He is however concluding us to commit dead works or unfruitful works which causes us not to develop His character in ourselves. If we do not develop fruit of GOD, we truly did not believe His word.

 

[regibassman57]

Only GOD defined what sin was through the law.
1Jo 3:4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.

Rom 7:7 What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid. Nay, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet.

Rom 3:19 Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God.
Rom 3:20 Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.

GOD defined sin as transgression of the law, the strength of sin was the law (1Cor.15:56), but if a man is not justified by the law, sin is not imputed.

Rom 4:15 Because the law worketh wrath: for where no law is, there is no transgression.

I know if i've done something wrong by the law, but because GOD is not concluding me to have sinned, and the law cannot conclude me to have sinned because I am not justified by the law and Jesus crucified the law and sin on the cross, I know what is wrong by the law, but the law cannot tell me i've sinned. Thhis is why If I know i've done something wrong based on the 10 commandments of love, I know i'm not loving. I must change my way if I intend to love as GOD has told me. If I am unfruitful, my character cannot put on Christ, therefore, my character will continue to be as satans character. I will give account unfavourably.

BELIEVERS ARE NOT UNDER THE LAW...

 

[Ivar]

BELIEVERS ARE NOT UNDER THE LAW...

Believers are not under the law of the wages of sin because Christ became atonement so death not required.
Believers are not under the law because; They should be doing the things contained in the law thru walking in the spirit or the fruits of the spirit; Which is a law upon themselves because by nature; They are doing things contained in the law.
Lukewarm believers and those that fall away will be under the law of the wages of sin

 

[regibassman57]

No believer is under the law of sin, the law of sin is only by the Judicial law.

People that committed sin under the law, were guilty by the law; the judicial law. The judicial law told them, because they did not do a certain action, they have sinned. Not the Ten Commandments, not the Sacrificial Laws, not the Ceremonial Laws but only the Judicial Laws. This is because they did not conduct themselves according to what GOD told them through the law. The character of the Ten Commandments presented the image and likeness of GOD’s character. If a person walks contrary to this, GOD imputed sin unto them, because the law pointed it out. If they were not justified by the law, GOD would not have imputed sin (Rom. 5:13). The law was their schoolmaster to discipline them, getting them ready for Christ. But once Christ has come we are no longer under the schoolmaster, this is another reason why GOD is not imputing sin unto new covenant believers.

New Covenant believers that walk contrary to the righteousness of Jesus Christ, is not committing sin in the sight of GOD, because they are not justified by a law. GOD imputed sin where there was a law that judged a person. Because there is no judicial law to condemn a man of sin, and make him feel condemned or guilty not being not justified by the law, GOD is not concluding a man have sinned under the new covenant. It is called unfruitful works which brings forth a character that has not been renewed. A man will give account of his wrongful actions which he’s committed contrary to the righteousness of GOD’s character.

Rom 4:8 Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin.


Tit 3:14 And let ours also learn to maintain good works for necessary uses, that they be not unfruitful.

 

[regibassman57]

It is only by the Grace of GOD that He is not imputing sin. The law entered that sin might abound, but where sin abound, Grace did much more abound. Sin is darkness, Grace is light. You cannot see the darkness for the light because the darkness cannot comprehend the light. Every believer is in the body of light, where there is no darkness at all. This is another reason why Jesus is not imputing sin. A believer cannot sin in Christ, in the light. We have been bought with a price and your body is the Temple of the Holy Ghost where sin cannot be. Sin had to be removed before the Holy Ghost could own your temple.

I guess if you would like to understand it that way.
Gal 3:23 But before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed.
Gal 3:24 Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.
Gal 3:25 But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster.

@regibassman57
my response would be

2 Peter 3:16 King James Version (KJV)
16 Paul also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.

1 Corinthians 9:21-23 King James Version (KJV)
21 To them that are without law, as without law, (being not without law to God, but under the law to Christ,) that I might gain them that are without law.
22 To the weak became I as weak, that I might gain the weak: I am made all things to all men, that I might by all means save some.
23 And this I do for the gospel's sake, that I might be partaker thereof with you.

 

[regibassman57]

The differnce is Israel was under/justification by the law. We as believers are not neither is any other man,

Gal 3:11 But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith.

A person that does not believe in Jesus Christ by faith is condemned already because they have not believed the report GOD gave of His son.

Rom 8:2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.

Notice it does not say a believer is free from death only, which is the penalty, but we are free from the sin which cause of the penalty, which is sin. We are free from sin and death equally.not just the penalty as many people believe. If we are no longer dead spiritually, we can no longer sin spirually. What we see by faith is who and what we mind.

Rom 8:5 For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.
Rom 8:6 For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.

The just shall live by faith

[regibassman57]

I believe that many people understand what it means to be free or liberated from something, but they fear to believe Jesus has made them free and liberated them from sin because they see themselves committing an act that is contrary to the law (they don't know what to call it). In ignorance they are justifying themselves by the law. Only under the law was sin applied. Only under the law was a person judged, condemned and told the reason why; which was because of sinful actions. Jesus is not concluding, judging or condemning us for sin, nor is He remembering sin because He condemned the nature of sin itself. Through our sin (the sin of the world) being put upon the body of Jesus Christ as the atonement once for all time, He condemned sin forever, not until the next time a person sins and a believer must ask for forgiveness like the children of Israel, but Jesus took sin and condemned it forever.

 

[regibassman57]

Question for you Ivar, where does the Ten Commandment judge me or condemn me for not doing what it says?

 

[Ivar]

Is it ok if anyone breaks the last five commandments and it affects you? For example your wife commits adultery with your best friend. Or someone testifies in court accusing you of robbing a bank. Or someone steals the deed to your land. Do you not expect those that wrong you to be judged unless they make amends ?

Now in regards to your question; the short version answer is "in the first commandment itself which encompasses all the commandments" You condemn yourself.

You condemn yourself when you have other gods before the creator just as your cells in your body condemn themselves when they go against their directive because they are labeled as cancer cells at that point and are no longer known and judged or dealt with by the immune system.

That long explanation with example might not be the best way to convey it though.

Unless you repent or by nature do the things that are in the law. You will not be covered under the Passover lamb.

To my knowledge at least

 

[regibassman57]

Just because sin is not imputed to a believer does not mean that he or she cannot be chastened for their wrong actions. GOD chastens those whom He loves (Heb 12:6). If a believer does not treat one another in the character of love, they cannot develop in love. If a believer does not develop in love, they cannot please GOD.

1Jo 5:3 For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.

2Jo 1:6 And this is love, that we walk after his commandments. This is the commandment, That, as ye have heard from the beginning, ye should walk in it.

Joh 14:15 If ye love me, keep my commandments.

Joh 14:15 If ye love me, keep my commandments.

James teaches us if we do not love, we will not obtain the crown of life, nor will we obtain His manifested Kingdom.

Jam 1:12 Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.

Jam 2:5 Hearken, my beloved brethren, Hath not God chosen the poor of this world rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he hath promised to them that love him?

It's obvious there are consequenses in the day of judgement; but GOD does not tell us that we will judge believers for their sin, but for their works.

Rev 22:12 And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.

I fail to see the correlation between the question you asked me and my response. In any case it is possible to condemn yourself thru your actions or works. Also believing should be equivalent to acknowledging and following examples. A living or perfect faith so to speak. Believing biblically encompasses more than just it's standard modern day definition.

My current thoughts and I do intend to do a post about it in the future. Once I am still a member.
