Lifepoint Church - Messages From The Riverdale Campus

Being in Christ doesn’t mean you never sin; it means sin is no longer how you order your life. You don’t walk in sin. You grow in holiness. You grow to love His word, His church, His people, His law. It means God didn’t justify you and declare you not condemned so you could do whatever you want; He justified you to sanctify you. God’s work of justification is inseparable from His work of sanctification. We no longer try to keep the law to be right God, but to be holy like God. The purpose of Jesus' life and death wasn’t just to take us to heaven when we die, but to make us holy on earth now.
