living in sin?
i love the way paul says it in romans 6:1-3 when he writes, "So what do we do? Keep on sinning so God can keep on forgiving? I should hope not! If we've left the country where sin is sovereign, how can we still live in our old house there? Or didn't you realize we packed up and left there for good? That is what happened in baptism. When we went under the water, we left the old country of sin behind; when we came up out of the water, we entered into the new country of grace--a new life in a new land!"
this idea what we have in the church that we are all "living in sin" seems to fly in the face of what paul is sharing. if we are truly changed, we can not keep using the old address as a hiding place.
