TRAPPED IN THE SIN OF-PT. 22-NOT BELIEVING THE NEW CREATION MUST BE PRECEDED BY A SPIRITUAL DEATH!!!

IN THIS MESSAGE WE WILL TAKE A DEEP DIVE INTO A VERSE WRITTEN BY FORMER MR. MORALITY, HIMSELF, TO HIS BRETHREN IN ROME: Rom.7 [1] Know ye not, brethren, (for I speak to them that know the law,) how that the law hath DOMINION over a man AS LONG as he LIVETH?WE CAN THINK OF THE BIBLE AS A WAGON WHEEL PUZZLE. WE CAN THINK OF THE HUB OF THE WHEEL AS THE DEFINITION OF SALVATION AND THE 66 SPOKES OF THE WAGON WHEEL AS THE 66 BOOKS OF THE BIBLE. THEN WE AS JOHN Q. PUBLIC OF AMERICA SAY TO OURSELVES IF WE WERE SATAN, WHO IS THE ULTIMATE COUNTERFEITER, WHAT PART OF THE BIBLE WOULD WE COUNTERFEIT, BUT SALVATION, WHICH IS THE HUB OF THE WHEEL. SO THEN WE ASK OURSELVES WHAT DOES THE BIBLE SAY IS THE TICKET INTO HEAVEN?DOES THE BIBLE HAVE JUST ONE ANSWER OR DOES IT HAVE SEVERAL SEEMINGLY CONTRADICTORY ANSWERS. IS JESUS LYING WHEN HE SAYS THAT THE TICKET INTO HEAVEN IS: KEEP THE COMANDMENTS. Matt. 19: [16] And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?[17] And JESUS said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, KEEP the COMMANDMENTSWAS PAUL LYING WHEN HE WROTE THAT NOT BY FOLLOWING COMMANDMENTS ARE YE SAVED BUT BY GRACE THROUGH FAITH. EPHESIANS 2: (8] For by GRACE are ye SAVED through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9] NOT of WORKS(NOT BY FOLLOWING THE COMMANDMENTS), lest any man should boast.WAS DR. LUKE LYING WHEN HE WROTE: BELIEVE ON THE LORD JESUS CHRIST AND THOU SHALT BE SAVED. Acts 16: 31] And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.NOW WHAT ABOUT THE VERSE THIS MESSAGE IS BASED ON: IS IT A LIE: E: Rom.7 [1] Know ye not, brethren, (for I speak to them that know the law,) how that the law hath DOMINION over a man AS LONG as he LIVETH?DO WE HAVE TO DIE A SPIRITUAL DEATH AND RISE AGAIN AS A NEW CREATION TO GOTO HEAVEN. ALL THESE PIECES ALONG WITH OTHERS, DO NOT CONTRADICT ONE ANOTHER, BUT ARE IMPORTANT PIECES OF THE WAGON WHEEL PUZZLE, THAT MUST BE PUT INTO THE HUB OF THE WAGON WHEEL WHICH DEFINES SALVATION. THESE VERSES ABOVE ARE JUST A FEW OF THE HUB OF THE WHEEL PIECES WHICH MUST BE PLACED IN THE HUB OF THE WHEEL TO GET A FULL PICTURE OF SALVATION. IN THIS MESSAGE WE WIL PLACE THE PUZZLE PIECE: Rom.7 [1] Know ye not, brethren, (for I speak to them that know the law,) how that the law hath DOMINION over a man AS LONG as he LIVETH?
