Excuse Me Sir You Dropped A Sin Back There

What throws us Christians off in our walk in life is that we don't immediately receive the love-of-God-correction or perceive it and so we develop the nasty habit of assuming, be it intentional or from a position of ignorance, that we did the dastardly deed while God was sleeping or, what is even worse, which is nothing more than avoiding, dealing with the mold on our cheese, is that we work our excuse into the scriptures, justifying it using such words as Grace, Mercy, or or His Love that would of course ignore the sin and allow us to continue moving forward in His will all wiggly-piggly. 

So I did say two things in that word run. The first is that if you did something wrong and someone who is in a mature position to bring correction approaches you as in the way the bible says we should, but even then when they do, you disregard their position, brotherly love and/or responsibility to make disciples. The second is that you stick up the place with that sin leaving it unchecked nor checking itself which could be due to a lot of reasons of which we may or may not get into. I am not 100 on where God is going to take this message or any message for that matter so here we go.

Matt 18:15-17 - 15 “Moreover if your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault between you and him alone. If he hears you, you have gained your brother. 16 But if he will not hear, take with you one or two more, that ‘by the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established.’ 17 And if he refuses to hear them, tell it to the church. But if he refuses even to hear the church, let him be to you like a heathen and a tax collector.

Now but we could just say, “ya but Podcast Preacher this is just our sanctification process and sinning is expected.” Well let’s look at all the sanctification scriptures, which is four, and see if piggin’ is allowed:

1 Cor 1:30 – But of Him you are in Christ Jesus, who became for us wisdom from God—and righteousness and sanctification and redemption—

1 Thes 4:3 – 4 – For this is the will of God, your sanctification: that you should abstain from sexual immorality; that each of you should know how to possess his own vessel in sanctification and honor,

2 Thes 2:13 – But we are bound to give thanks to God always for you, brethren beloved by the Lord, because God from the beginning chose you for salvation through sanctification by the Spirit and belief in the truth,

1 Peter 1:2 - elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, in sanctification of the Spirit, for obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace to you and peace be multiplied.

So I have taught that we have been sanctified, are being sanctified, and will be sanctified.
