Romans 8:33 ( NKJV ) Who shall bring a charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies. In our discussion of developing a righteousness consciousness as opposed to a sin consciousness I asked the question, “Whose opinion is most important to you?”  We have discussed how the negative opinions of parents or others who…

Hebrews 10:14 ( NKJV ) For by one offering He has perfected forever those who are being sanctified. This week I have been discussing the idea that we, as Christians, should not be living a “sin conscious”life  but that we should be developing a righteousness consciousness.  This stems from the transfer of as sense of…
