I came across this quote from Steve Mcvey. At least what he has to say IS clear! He said, “Many people are worried about the effect of UNRIGHTEOUSNESS in the church. But the fact is that it isn't unrighteousness, but SELF righteousness that presents the greatest threat”. <BR/><BR/>It’s true. When we look at someone’s UNrighteousness, we can get SELF righteous and forget about our common need of CHRIST’S righteousness! What a vicious cycle! But what does this have to do with sonship? Well, sonship begins, in part, by realizing our love and acceptance from the Father is not based on OUR righteousness. As a result, it becomes more difficult to condemn others (in our self-righteousness) for THEIR unrighteousness. We no longer focus on what others DON’T have, but now we want to tell them what they ALREADY have as sons and daughters of God! We want to show them that they can rest in the ALREADINESS of Jesus Christ! True, “full assurance of sonship” will help demolish the stronghold of self righteousness that plagues the church.Jim Hoaghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00695868245553913477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2018863068019474376.post-68036544601134039012008-12-10T08:13:00.000+02:002008-12-10T08:13:00.000+02:00Dan The Man !!!!!!!!!!! are you going on leave at ...Dan The Man !!!!!!!!!!! are you going on leave at all?Craig Glennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13467337337776805827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2018863068019474376.post-16480636197525385502008-12-09T22:58:00.000+02:002008-12-09T22:58:00.000+02:00now that would be awesome- we would see such a sec...now that would be awesome- we would see such a secure bunch of christians (sons) that know that they know that they know, without being judged or told what someone else thinks they don't know- know what i mean?<BR/><BR/>i love mcvey's logic- he correctly shows that the premises is (1)Jesus' finished worked on the cross and (2) when we believe this, his spirit lives in us and gives our identity which leads to the conclusion that what we do is a natural (dare i say involuntary)result of what has already been done in us<BR/><BR/>good stuff bru- you're a blogger of notedan lewishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02813884795893810821noreply@blogger.com
