Bless you. It may not be an "enslavement" and it hopefully is not that same sin over and over... NEVERTHELESS, you and I NEED him - all the time. Our "goodness" quite simply is not enough! Our lack of sin falls far short.

Re: Changes in the UPC over the past 30 years
8:1: There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
2: For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.
3: For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:
4: That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
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. 6: For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.
7: Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.
8: So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.
9: But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.
10: And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of (a knowledge of) sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.
11: But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.
12: Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh.
13: For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.
14: For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God

Re: Changes in the UPC over the past 30 years
Joelel, What are you trying to convey with these passages?

What about the scripture that says we are "more than overcomers"?
Speak sir! I want to hear what you have to say about this.
Please.  |
I think the Christian life is one of realizing what it is to be a slave to Christ and one of conforming to His will and commands. Making Him Lord over ALL of our life and any lack there of or want of conformity is sin. It requires study, prayer, discipline, and the power of the Holy Spirit and will never be completely done till our death.

Re: Changes in the UPC over the past 30 years
All I am saying is you and I fall short.
Sometimes we don't walk after the Spirit.
We aren't perfect, and our hope is in our confession to Christ.
