Praise Of The Glory Of His Grace

[Rev M. Bresciani]

“Oh, I am just a saved sinner.” That is like saying you are a married bachelor. That is like saying you are an honest thief, or a pure harlot. You can’t be a saved sinner. You are either saved or you are a sinner. -Leonard Ravenhill

If people would pay attention to the things that they have been indoctrinated into believing more often than not, they would question what they are being told.

For example, look at a man in an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting.

Sorry to say it, but a born-again Christian is in a constant tension between the flesh and the Spirit. Romans 7 is famous for that dilemma. Paul concludes Romans 7 by exclaiming: “Oh wretched man that I am! Who shall deliver me from this body of sin?”

Ergo, “I’m a sinner saved by grace”, isn’t as far off as this pish-toshing writer would have us believe.

Yes, we are new creatures in Christ; but we, like the owner of a new pickup with an old trailer, are still towing a load of garbage. So we still have to “put on the new man” (Ephesians 4) and “be transformed by the renewing of the mind” (Romans 12); and I believe it must be done on a daily basis. That is our job. “Not that I’ve already attained; nevertheless I press on TOWARD the mark of the prize of high calling in Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 3)
