10/17/22 SALVATION IS DELIVERANCE FROM ALL SIN IN THIS PRESENT EVIL WORLD

THE WORD, "SINLESS" IS NOT IN THE BIBLE, BUT THE PRINCIPLE OF BEING DELIVERED, FORGIVEN, CLEANSED FROM ALL SIN, AND ENABLED TO RESIST ALL TEMPTATION, TO BE ENABLED TO OBEY ALL OF GOD'S COMMANDS IS NOT ONLY IN THE BIBLE, IT IS THE PURPOSE FOR WHICH JESUS CAME, DIED AND ROSE AGAIN FROM THE DEAD.

I did this article to show that the Biblical revelation tells us that God's salvation is salvation from sin, to righteousness. These verses are from Matthew, I plan to do the same exercise with other New Testament books to show that believers, by the grace of God, can live in obedience to God, keep God's commands and resist all temptation.

I seldom use the word, "sinless" because it is not a Biblical term and therefore it is more difficult to clearly define. Usually, when I use the word, "sinless" it is because someone who does not believe in Divine grace that delivers from all sin is trying to use a word that is emotionally charged and misunderstood However, I do believe and teach forgiveness, cleansing, deliverance from all sin in this life because this is what the Bible teaches. The following list is just the beginning of passages that indicate God's plan, will, ability and requirement for Christians to live without sin, once they have come into a saving experience and relationship with Jesus, through faith.

MATTHEW

13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:
14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

Matthew 7:17-20
17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.
18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.

Matthew 7:21
21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.

24 Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:
25 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.
26 And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:
27 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it. 

Matthew 12:33-37
33 Either make the tree good, and his fruit good; or else make the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by his fruit.
34 O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.
35 A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things.
36 But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.
37 For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.

Matthew 12:48-50
48 But he answered and said unto him that told him, Who is my mother? and who are my brethren?
49 And he stretched forth his hand toward his disciples, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren!
50 For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother. 

Matthew 13:18-23 (vs. 23)
18 Hear ye therefore the parable of the sower.
19 When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, then cometh the wicked one, and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart. This is he which received seed by the way side.
20 But he that received the seed into stony places, the same is he that heareth the word, and anon with joy receiveth it;
21 Yet hath he not root in himself, but dureth for a while: for when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, by and by he is offended.
22 He also that received seed among the thorns is he that heareth the word; and the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful.
23 But he that received seed into the good ground is he that heareth the word, and understandeth it; which also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some an hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.

Matthew 22:36-40
36 Master, which is the great commandment in the law?
37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
38 This is the first and great commandment.
39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.
