Don "Doc" Pagala, Th. DG/TTP says: July 24, 2013 at 12:19 am CMP, this is a really good post. It strikes at the heart of the post-modern dilemma. The front of living in denial and transversely the prejudice of projecting a concept of a Christian who is a holier than thou, when often it is not the case. Christians are not perfect, just forgiven. This may have become cliche, but it IS what a real Christian disciple is. Just like everybody born of a woman, we all have sin issues going on. To project a Christian walk as if one does not, is hypocritical. The salvinic work of Jesus Christ is what allows a Christian disciple to be a sinner, and sin boldly. No not with a licence to sin, rather the boldness of the imputed righteousness of Christ upon us, yesterday, today and forever! Once saved, always saved with many assurances written in Scripture. That is the boldness that the Christian has, sin issues and all, knowing that like the thief on the cross, pardon is immediate, without recourse, just for the asking and believing in Him. That pardon to the thief extends to all who believe on Jesus Christ, and in the hour of our death, we who believe will be with Him in Paradise. This is the blessed hope of the Christian believer. Being holier than thou really has nothing to do with it. None of us are all that, so don’t trip, it’s all good. reclaimingthemind.org/blog/2013/07/how-to-sin-more-boldly/
