Romans 3:23 Explained
Read more: Romans 3:23 ExplainedThere’s a verse almost every Christian knows: Romans 3:23. I’ve heard it more times than I can count—often offered as a quick rebuttal, or as a way to quiet anyone who speaks boldly about the righteousness we now have in Christ. It’s one of those verses that’s been repeated so often it’s become its own…

Union, Not Separation
Read more: Union, Not SeparationMany believers, even after encountering the cross, still carry a false sense of separation from God. They think they honor Him by seeing Him far above them—holy, distant, untouchable—while viewing themselves as unworthy and low. But Scripture reveals something far greater. Separation was not the original design. It was the first consequence of sin. When…

Freedom And Identity In Christ
Read more: Freedom And Identity In ChristIf you understand that your identity is no longer “sinner,” everything else begins to make sense. Christians can still sin, but it no longer makes sense to do so. If I am not a sinner, why would I daily sin in thought, word, and deed? If my nature is now righteous, holy, and new (2…

The Power of True Confession
Read more: The Power of True ConfessionRepentance means to change the way you think (Romans 12:2). Confession means to say the same thing as someone else. It comes from the Greek word homologeō — “same word.” In Scripture, confession is not just about repeating words; it is about aligning our thoughts and words with God’s truth. It is seeing and agreeing…

You Are Already Free From Sin
Read more: You Are Already Free From SinWhen speaking of our freedom from sin, some have said, “Worrying is a sin. Foolish thoughts are a sin. Telling white lies is a sin. Are you free from those?” The answer is a simple and unashamed, yes. But what they are really asking is whether I ever stumble into those things. And the honest…

Born of the Spirit, Not The Flesh
Read more: Born of the Spirit, Not The FleshIt is impossible to still be “in the flesh” after being born again. That is the very point of new birth: you are born into the Spirit and out of the flesh. The flesh was crucified with Christ; it is dead. When I was first born, I was born from a human father and a…

Born of God, Not of Adam
Read more: Born of God, Not of AdamDo you know what it really means to be born again? A major clue is in the words born again. To put it simply, it means that your first birth does not count. You are no longer the person who was born the first time. If you are in Christ, you have no relation to…

What The New Creation Is
Read more: What The New Creation Is“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.” (2 Corinthians 5:17, ESV) When the Scriptures call you a new creation, they are not speaking of a renovation. The word new in the original language, kainos, means something freshly made—something unprecedented, uncommon, and…

The Old Self Is Dead
Read more: The Old Self Is DeadThere is a lot of scriptural backing for the truth that we do not have a sinful nature anymore in Christ. The old nature was crucified with Christ, and a new creation now lives. Galatians 5:24 says, “Those who belong to Christ Jesus have nailed the passions and desires of their sinful nature to his…
