Old Self? Sinful Nature? Flesh? HELP! - The Grace Message with Dr. Andrew Farley

After we come to know God’s grace, then what? For example, how would we deal with addiction? How did God rescue us from being dead in our sins? How can my daughter get closer to God? Should we get her water baptized? My son has been abused by his father, and no one will listen to our case. Please help me get these terms, straight: old self, flesh, sinful nature, sin, carnal mind.

Our choices do not determine the rate of our sanctification. Our sanctification determines the quality of our choices. Not only are we saved by grace due to no choice of our own, we are also being sanctified by the grace of God without our help. The very idea that we can make ourselves holy or righteous by simply choosing to do good is the very definition of secular humanism. Scripture teaches those who seek to achieve their own goodness by a series of good choices are condemned. [Rom 10:3 KJV] 3 For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God. [Phl 3:9 KJV] 9 And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith: [Rom 7:18, 23-25 NKJV] 18 For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh) nothing good dwells; for to will is present with me, but [how] to perform what is good I do not find. ... 23 But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members. 24 O wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from this body of death? 25 I thank God--through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, with the mind I myself serve the law of God, but with the flesh the law of sin.

They who obey the commandments of God have the right to eat from the tree of life and enter the city so if you haven't obeyed all the way do you go to the lake of fire and sulphur?
