| Amen. Too many christians think they are still sinners. If you don't know your identity, you can't fulfill your destiny. It's like an eagle that thinks he is a turkey. It's like the Israelites thinking they are like grasshoppers in their own eyes when they really were children of the promised land. Keep writing about who we are and what we can do, and what is ours through Christ. |

| Wahoo! Thanks for reminding me! I can get so focused on my screw ups I forget who I am--the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus. |

Someone asked me recently if I think of myself as I was or as I will be... |
|
|
Amen, I hear people say "I'm a sinner saved by grace" among other things, but knowledge begins with who you are and you heavenly identidy.
Good question Grant, but I would have to say who I am now (with eternal life abiding in me 1 John 5:11) Our work is here, our rewards are there (will be)... |

Hi Victorius Just being curious. 1. How did you count the numbers? 2.If saved people become sinners, they are called as 'back sliders' |

| But I am one who was a sinner, but now a 'saint' by His abundant Grace, who want to be a 'saint' until I meet Him. |

If you have a bible on your computer you can hit Ctrl+F and type the word save (& unsaved) and count, reading the pertaining verse to the search. Some bible versions differ, but are very close.
Hope that helps you Saint Ragland...

As you read and listen to the Word, it washes you and purifies you. God finishes what He started. As we grow in grace and faith and overcome the resistance form the enemy, our frustrations decrease. Time is on your (our) side. The problems from the enemy are temporary. You will last longer than any problem or obstacle. 10:17 So then faith [cometh] by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
3:20 Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,
Our faith that goes beyond what we see, feel or experience. If your faith isn't beyond what you are experiencing, it isn't faith. God will gives us more than we ask.
5:26 That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,
1:6 Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform [it] until the day of Jesus Christ:
