Hello True11,
I have not listened to this recording yet so going to go all out here and reply to what you’ve said before even hearing what Martin says… Everything all boils down to what we “believe” in our hearts… I believe in my heart that the Spirit of Christ and the Father resides and dwells within me… This is how I see us as the temple of the living God… 1Cor 3:16 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? Why would we see ourselves as “no good thing in us” knowing we are the temple of God? That simply makes no sense to me even though it appears to make sense to others…
I believe the cross was/is a finished work, meaning once we believe in the cross as a finished work, we, as members of the Body of Christ, no longer see anyone as a sinner…It is only those that have not believed in the cross as a finished work that see themselves and others as sinners…
Paul said this in Romans 6:22 But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life. … One either believes they have been made free from sin, or they don’t believe it… If this is not believed, how can one possibly say they are a member of the Body of Christ?
Romans 8:9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his…. why would anyone that has the Spirit of Christ dwelling within them say there is no good in them?
1John 3:5-6 And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin. Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him. 3:9 Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.
This is my take on being born of God and understanding no longer being a sinner…

Hi Lynn,
My goodness is not good. The only good I have is Christ in me.
1 John 1:7-9 But if we are living in the light, as God is in the light, then we have fellowship with each other, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, cleanses us from all sin. If we claim we have no sin, we are only fooling ourselves and not living in the truth. But if we confess our sins to him, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all wickedness.
There are so many but I’ll put in one more:
Colossians 3:5-6 So put to death the sinful, earthly things lurking within you. Have nothing to do with sexual immorality, impurity, lust, and evil desires. Don’t be greedy, for a greedy person is an idolater, worshiping the things of this world. Because of these sins, the anger of God is coming.
What Martin said, if you’ve listened to this episode, is pretty much the opposite of what you wrote above.
I have heard Martin say something similar to what he said in episode 734 regarding sin and the Elect. I believe without a doubt there is no good in me, and that I will never, ever earn my way to heaven. That does not lead me to believe that I can go kill my neighbor. How do you reckon Romans 6 with the belief that it doesn’t matter what we do? These are Paul’s words to the church in Rome, “What shall we say then? Are we to continue in sin that grace may abound? 2 By no means! How can we who died to sin still live in it? 3 Do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death?” . Or explain Galatians to me and the Fruit of the Spirit – Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Goodness, Faithfulness, Gentleness, Self Control. Right before this list is the list of the works of the flesh. So, if we are the Temple of the Holy Spirit, how do we exhibit the list of flesh and not the fruit of His Spirit? Were not Romans and Galatians written by Paul to mainly Gentile Christ Followers.?
