Another look at the man in Romans 7 When considering the topic of sin, the passage most often used to defend its pervasiveness in the Church is that of Romans 7:14-25. Is Paul speaking of a believer, an unbeliever, or something else entirely?
Is all our righteousness as filthy rags? - (with audio) The Bible makes an often overlooked distintion between self-righteousness and true righteousness. God does not view our righteous acts as filthy rags, but as costly apparel purchased with the blood of Christ.
Is the Christian a Saint, a Sinner, or both? - (with audio) We find the term “sinner” used exclusively in Scripture of those who walk in rebelliousness to God. It is never used in reference to a believer but of those who habitually practice sin, are impious, ungodly, without reverence for God, not merely irreligious, but acting in contravention of God's demands.
