Re: [TruthTalk] Believers in bondage to sin?

[Judy Taylor]

Have addicts entered into "His rest" JD - or are they still tormented by doubt and unbelief along with the

physical unrest that goes with addiction?

 

"Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest any of you should seem to

come short of it [......] Seeing therefore it remaineth that some must enter therein, and they to whom it

was first preached entered not in because of unbelief" (Hebrews 4:1,6)

He has been redeemed from his sins, even before he has ceased his addiction.  That is not a lie, Linda  -  that is the story of the gospel  !!   The lie is to be found in the teaching that he is not saved until and unless he grows strong enough to defeat his addiction.   jd

The first step in deliverance is telling yourself the truth.  Telling an addict a lie (such as below) just leaves him addicted.  iz

Now that I have my proof-texting urge nurtured, let me say this  ----   an addicted believer is not in bondage to sin !!!
