By God's grace, still presenting the same old message from the same old Book...

Being a Christian and walking with the Lord in this present life should not be taken by any to be construed as meaning experientially, complete freedom from sin in this present life has been discovered. The believer’s purity is in Christ. A Christian is the subject of sin, as well as of holiness, of flesh, as well as of Spirit.

1 John 1:8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.

Romans 6:14 For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.

Consider this quote: 

This Assertion, Sin shall not have Dominion over you, plainly suggests, that they were Subjects of it, or that it had a Being in them. I know that some have made large Pretensions to extraordinary Holiness, and have boasted of being very nearly, if not wholly free from the Presence and Working of Evil in their Hearts, which is not the Effect of their Eminency in Holiness, but is an Evidence of much Unacquaintedness with themselves. True it is of every Believer, that he is holy and unholy, that he is Spirit and also Flesh, the Subject of a pure and also of an impure Principle. There are two contrary Springs of Action in him: If we say that we have no Sin we deceive ourselves, and the Truth is not in us (John 1:8.). Such as imagine themselves to be very near to Perfection, and can say to others, with an Air of Contempt, Stand by thyself, come not near to me, for I am holier than thou, give melancholy Evidence not only of the Being, but also of the Power of Sin in them. Those who excel in Holiness, are best acquainted with, and are most humbled under a Sense of the natural Impurity of their Hearts. – John Brine

Christians, according to the written word of God have as their blessed hope, the appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ. He is the Saviour of those that believe, and they believe because they were ordained to eternal life having been chosen in Christ before the foundation of the world. Salvation is the gift of God. It is God that grants repentance and faith, by grace putting those in the elect. Salvation is of the Lord.

Titus 2:11 For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, 
12 Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world;
13 Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; 
14 Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.

Acts 13:48 And when the Gentiles heard this, they were glad, and glorified the word of the Lord: and as many as were ordained to eternal life believed.

Ephesians 1:4 According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:

For now, the believer waits for the redemption of the body, for this mortal must put on immortality.

Romans 8:23 And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.

1 Corinthians 15:53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
54 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.

Isaiah 25:8 He will swallow up death in victory; and the Lord GOD will wipe away tears from off all faces; and the rebuke of his people shall he take away from off all the earth: for the LORD hath spoken it.

Jesus is coming again!

Hebrews 9:28 So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.

Watch! Jesus is coming again!
