Do God through the "fingers" of sin unrepented sin?!
Rom. 11. 9 And David says, Let their table become them to a knit and a snare and a trap, and a retribution for them! 10 let their eyes be darkened, that they see, and submit their back always! 11 I say then, Did they stumble to fall? Far from that! but by their fall salvation has come to the Gentiles, that this will stir them to jealousy; 12 but their fall riches for the world, and the loss of those riches for the Gentiles, how much more then their fullness! 13 For unto you I speak, I heathens! As long as I am an apostle of Gentiles, I praise my office, 14 if I could only arouse my fleshly kinsmen to jealousy and have saved some of them. 15 For the world has been reconciled to God by their rejection, what else will their acceptance be but life from the dead? 16 But the firstfruits is holy, so is the dough too, and if the root be holy, so are the branches. 17 If all the same some of the branches were canceled, and you were like a wild olive tree, were grafted among them and got some of them in oil tree roots and obesity, 18 I praise you, not against the branches! but if you praise thee, it is however not you who support the root, but the root supports you. 19 Thou wilt say then, The branches were canceled that I might be grafted. 20 Well! by their unbelief they were interrupted, but you stand by your faith, do not be haughty, but fear! 21 for God spared not the natural branches, he will not spare you. 22 Then watch as God's goodness and severity: Strictness against those who have fallen, but the dig is God's kindness, if you hold thee to his kindness, otherwise you too will be cut off. 23 But hine should also be instilled, if they abide not still in unbelief, for God is able to graff them in again. 24 For you were cut off from the olive tree which is wild by nature, and against nature grafted into a good olive tree: how much more shall then be grafted into their own olive tree, those that by nature it belongs to.
Evangelist Jimmy Swaggart made serious mistakes in his life, sin. But he repented and had to start over again, wonderful! But the pain and humiliation he must carry the rest of your life, sin has consequences even if God forgives and go up again. But it was a forgiving wife who was "secret", here we all learn something.

Israel - a model for us for better or worse!
The statement here is sourced in Romans where the Apostle Paul depth through three chapters, chapter 9-11 goes through Israel's election, fall and subsequent redress. But this is also written us many lessons and examples for us.
1 Cor. 10. 6 Now these things occurred as exemplary for us, lest we should not lust after evil things, as if they wanted to.
Israel was cut off so that we as Gentile Christians should partake of grace. The nation of Israel was disobedient had consequences, but God's grace and mercy has been and remains forever. But for believers today, it is not once saved always saved! We must be preserved and live in salvation, or we lose what we have gained. So it was with Israel, so it is with us.
God was not pleased with most of those who went out of Egypt by Israel when they were disobedient and unbelieving, THE SAME APPLIES TODAY FOR ALL GOD'S CHILDREN!
1 Cor. 10. 1. For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the cloud and all passed through the sea 2 and were all baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea, 3 and all ate the same spiritual food 4 and drank all the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ; 5 anyway, God had no pleasure in most of them, for they were overthrown in the wilderness.
We read in verse 5: "Nevertheless it HAD God was not pleased MOST OF THEM!
We think that it was maybe 2.5 Mill. people who went out of Egypt, half of the population. But we read that there were only two pieces that went into the promised land, it was Joshua and Caleb.
4 Genesis 26:65 For the LORD had said that they would die in the desert. And there was no return of them except Caleb son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun.
This is written us many lessons, and guidance. Anyone who thinks he stands, take heed lest he fall not scripture speaks of. But where are the limits? This is where we need to be aware of, as unfortunately all believers will eventually fall as well as sin, but it is when the "normal" state of being to live in sin that salvation is at stake, this is where the line is. If we do sin and confess it, then cleans and removes blood of Jesus that "promptly" for us when we as believers live in an increasingly purification.
1 Jn. b 1 7 but if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and Jesus, His Son's blood cleanses us from all sin. 9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
There is also a spokesperson we Father within its going good for us, always!
1 Jn. b 2 1. My children! I write this to you, that ye may not sin: and if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous, 2b, and he is the propitiation for our sins;
Five important aspects of pity that we have to take itu with and not allow ourselves to be dominated by the order to be preserved in salvation and now the New Jerusalem one and get the part in the final salvation!
1) Do not live in unsettled sins. Rom. 2.17b Puts on the law and boast in God 18 and know his will and approve the things, being instructed out of the law, 19 and confident that you yourself are a guide for the blind, a light to those in darkness , 20 a corrector of the foolish, a teacher of babes, then you have the right kind of knowledge and truth in the law 21 you therefore which teachest another, teachest thou not thyself? You who preach that a man should not steal, do you steal? 22 You who say that one should not commit adultery, do you whore? You who abhor idols, do you rob temples idols? 23 You who boast in the law, do you dishonor God by breaking the law!
There is something, perhaps more than anything else that horror with both of the Christians and non-Christians in Norway today. That is, nothing longer called sin, but it does not speak the word of God about. We read in the Old Testament about the cowards in Israel. 2Sam 3:33 And the king sang this lament over Abner, Should Abner die as a coward dies? No, but we all are in danger here. Eg. is a re-married as believers help the head nothing to confess this as sin, not God. Then one must go out of that relationship and either live single or be reconciled to her first and true wife, this teaches writing. 1 Cor. 7. 10 The married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, that a wife should not separate herself from her husband; 11 but she is separated from him when she vedbli being unmarried or reconciled with her husband - and that a man to separate himself from his wife.
2) Do not live in hidden sins. 1. Tim. 5. 24 Some people's sins are clearly visible, and they are going before them to judgment. But other people's sins follow.
I think of many things here, eg. monetary evasion, tax evasion etc. and especially sexual sins as adultery, pornography etc. this is all hidden sins that believers could easily end up in than if not taking care of themselves and have proven their actions.
3) Do not believe that our justice is deserved. Rom. 3. 22 that is, the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ to all and on all who believe. For there is no difference; 23 all have sinned and fall short of God, 24 and are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus,
When the Bible says that we humans have "justified", it means two things: we are not righteous basically, and we can not even make us righteous. In other words, as someone must arrange this righteousness for us. We take first things first: The Bible mentions several times that no man is justified before God (eg Rom. 3: 19). The word "fair" means "in accordance with the law" (just look for the Bokmålsordboka) and we live unfortunately by no means in accordance with God's commandments; none of us will for example be able to live entirely by the ten commandments in the 2nd Genesis 20, or for that matter the "double commandment of love" in Matthew 22: 36-40 ("You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind" and "You shall love your neighbor as yourself"). Although we try ever so much to make good works to "reach" the standard God has set, so can we just not. It is simply no substance in humans to that kind (a term the Bible uses the right this, that no one can be justified by works of the law do, Romans 3: 20). So no man can in itself to live up to the demands God makes. Or as The Bible says no man can keep the law. That is to say: There was one man who managed to live a life that was fully consistent with the requirements of God does, and that man was Jesus. He lived a life that was free of sin, all the 33 years he lived on earth, and he could be fair to God. And here is the justification comes in: Jesus ordained that he chose to die for our sin, and thus he took the punishment we deserved, wearing (for sin and transgression require punishment). When Jesus did this, we got all that God requires of us to accept us: We imputed righteousness and derecognised our sin. And then we can stand righteous before God. Thus we can say that we have something that we in no way deserved to (namely grace and eternal life) by Jesus gets what he deserves (our sins). Colossians 2 (Verse 14) says: "Debt letter to us he deleted, what was written testimonies, and took it away from us when he nailed it to the cross. "
4) Never believe the sacraments, church, church or good works saves. Efes. 2. 8 For by grace are ye saved through faith, and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God, 9 not of works, lest any man should boast.
From my commentaries Ephesians 2:08 For by grace you have been saved through faith. It is not their own work, but God's gift. Grace means "pleasant surprise" and "unmerited favor." Because salvation is a gift, it is free. You do not pay for a gift! A gift can be pricey, but it is the giver who paid for it. Our salvation was so expensive that it cost Jesus his life, but for us, it's free. The only thing we must do is accept the gift! The tragedy is that people perish although pity the bill is paid. Someone needs to tell them about the gift of salvation so they can handle! While all sin is expiated, man must be born again to enter heaven. Why is it so great: "All those who received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, those who believe in His name. And these were born .... of God "(John 1:12-13) The gift is free, salvation is finished and sins are atoned. But when you accept this gift, a miracle called being born again! It happens by grace. "They are born, not of blood, nor of the flesh, nor the will of man, but of God." (John 1:13) The new birth is not of ourselves, it is of God! But this new birth makes us partakers of the divine nature and the start of a whole new life. "The old has gone, the new has come!" 9 Salvation is not of works, lest any man should boast. Scripture clearly teaches that we are saved (justified) by faith in Christ and what he has done on the cross. Faith alone can save us. But we can not stop here without addressing us what James says in James 2:24, "You see that a man is justified by works and not by faith alone." There is no contradiction in that. All you need to do is to look at the context. James 2 has 26 verses: Verses 1-7 instruct us not to favor. Verses 8-13 are comments on the Law. Verses 14-26 are about the relationship between works and faith. James begins this section by using the example of someone who says he has faith but no deeds. "My brothers! What good is it if someone says he has faith but has not works? Can faith save him? "(James 2:24) James talking about a dead faith, a faith that is nothing more than an oral statement, a public confession what one thinks and does not come from the heart. It is empty of life and action. He begins with the negative and shows what an empty faith is (verses 15-17, words without deeds). He then proceeds to show that this kind of faith is not different from the faith of demons (v. 19) Finally, he gives the example of living faith that has words followed by actions. Works follow true faith as a result of faith. James shows that Abraham and Rahab are examples of people who show their faith by works. In short, James is examining two kinds of faith: one that leads to good works and one that does not. One is true and the other is false. One is dead and the other alive, so: ".. faith is useless without works? "But he does not contradict the above verses that say that salvation / justification is by faith alone. Note also that James quotes the same verse that Paul quotes in Romans 4:3 among a number of verses is about justification by faith. James 2:23 says, "So, this scripture fulfilled: Abraham believed God, and it was counted to him as righteousness," If James had tried to teach a doctrine that stood in contrast to the other authors of the NT he would not have used Abraham for example. Therefore, we see that justification is by faith alone, and that Jakob talked about false belief, not real faith when he says we are not justified by faith alone.
5) It is the personal life of God that ultimately determines whether one reaches the other day, never something external. 2. Cor. 5. 17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation, the old has passed away, behold, the new has come! 18 But all things are of God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation, 19 that God was in Christ reconciling the world to himself, so he imputes to them their sins and placed in us the word of reconciliation.
This is one of the Bible's most glorious truths and only we understand this right. It is through the new life and the new creation in Christ we win victory. We will never in any way neither ready, able or would follow God or His laws. But it is through faith in Jesus Christ and God we have victory. Then the new creation that we are on the day we are saved that makes all this possible, without it, no victory. If it stadigvek victory celebration and joy. Everything is through the new life in Christ Jesus, that we have stadigvek victory. Minster we focus, we lose the victory. If we focus, take ourselves, lest we sin and do not always win! All because we have been and are a new creature in Christ Jesus!
