Conscientious of sin
I recently receive a well-intended e-mail from a friend to encourage me in faith. It basically want to remind us that God "overpaid a price we cannot pay" or something to that extent. At the end of the message, the writer wrote that we should be free from a conscience of sin since we're forgiven by God. It implied that while we're conscience of being sinners, we are not free in Christ. That to me is a very very dangerous view because the bible never tells us to stop being conscience of sin, but as believers filled with God's spirit we should be conscience of it as it is part of our lives to live holy lives. That includes knowing what is sin and avoid them. If we lack a conscience of sin, it will lead us licentiousness, leading to a life devoid of knowing good and evil, right and wrong. In fact, I thank God for such a conscience that is aware of sin, because it helped me live my life to the full for the Glory of God! Christ give us a renew spirit and a renewed mind, but the thought of renewing us to be like the original Adam before the fall is not what God intended for us (which He could if He wants) wasn't in the works - not yet for us at least til we're in God's Kingdom.
I dunno why, I try not to "judge" other churches, but when I receive such things I just can't shut up and say "Oh, how nice and sweet!" Coz it isn't and my spirit is disturbed, this this entry.
Blah Blah Blah...
