18 MAR 2025 · There are many false teachings that go against the gospel of grace (Acts 20:24). In 2 Corinthians 10:3-5, we’re told to combat these false teachings by taking every thought captive. We’re invited to make every thought obedient to Christ. This means we make the conscious decision to reject lies and embrace the truth of God’s grace. This keeps the finished work of Christ in focus in our attitudes and belief systems.
11 MAR 2025 · While the idea that Christians have a sinful nature is rampant throughout Christian teaching, the Bible does not actually teach this concept. Instead, it teaches we believers have a brand new, righteous self through the resurrection of Christ (2 Peter 1:4; Colossians 3:1; Romans 6:18). Even though we still sin, we are not sinful by nature at our core anymore. We have been born again, and we are now the righteousness of God (2 Corinthians 5:21)!
4 MAR 2025 · While some associate the flesh with the nature of the Christian, Scripture teaches the flesh is a way of walking and thinking independently of Christ. It is not us, but it is an attitude present within us at times. While believers no longer live by the flesh (Romans 8:5, 9), we can still walk by the flesh at times (Galatians 5:19-23).
25 FEB 2025 · The flesh is the old sinful attitudes and mindsets to which we were enslaved before we believed in Jesus. When we believed, we were taken out of the flesh and placed into the Spirit (Romans 8:9). Still, we believers “walk by the flesh” when we choose to think and act in the old way rather than allowing God’s Spirit to inspire us.
18 FEB 2025 · Popular religious teaching suggests that believers need to take up their cross daily in order to follow Jesus. While it’s true that Jesus taught the importance of denying oneself and taking up their cross (Matthew 16:24-26), He was not speaking of an ongoing act after salvation. He was inviting people to follow Him into His death so that they might be raised to newness of life and be saved (Galatians 2:20; Romans 6:1-12). This is what happens to every believer at salvation.
11 FEB 2025 · Some say believers need to “die to self.” However, the phrase “die to self” does not appear anywhere in the New Testament. Instead, Scripture teaches that our old self has already died – past tense – and we have been raised with Christ as new selves in Him (Romans 6:6; Galatians 2:20; Colossians 3:1). Think about it: You don’t need to “die to self” if you’re the new self!
4 FEB 2025 · Christians are always referred to as saints in Scripture, not sinners. We believers are not sinners, but saints who sometimes sin. We have been set apart (sanctified – made into saints) by Jesus Christ (1 Corinthians 6:11; Hebrews 10:10).
28 GEN 2025 · Some teach that Christians need to deny themselves as if their “self” is bad. But in Matthew 16:24-26, Jesus is not speaking of an ongoing denial of self. He is talking about a one-time decision to deny our old self (in Adam) and become a new self (in Christ). Now that you are the new self, you should not deny your new self, your new heart, or your new desires. You should instead count yourself dead to sin and alive to God (Romans 6:11).
21 GEN 2025 · Scripture is clear that believers (as people) were sanctified – past tense – the moment we were saved (1 Corinthians 6:11; Hebrews 10:10). This means we have been fully set apart for God. Our behavior, on the other hand, is being sanctified (set apart) as we learn and grow in our understanding of God’s grace (1 Peter 1:15). We must separate who we are (sanctified children of God) from how we perform (a mix of walking by the flesh and walking by the Spirit) to rightly understand this issue. Unfortunately, the popular idea of “progressive sanctification” conflates these two types of sanctification and practically ignores what has already been done within us.
14 GEN 2025 · Two different Greek words are used in Scripture to describe the spirit and the soul. The spirit (Gk. pneuma) speaks of the innermost part of the person, the part that is one with the Lord (1 Corinthians 6:17) and new at salvation (Ezekiel 36:26-27). In contrast, the soul (Gk. psuché) is the psychology (mind, will, and emotions) of a person.
