Out Of One Danger, Into Another
Are we ever more in danger of teaching an error, than when we are combatting one?

When God brought the Isrealites out of Egypt, He bore them eagles's wings. In other words, he delivered them by grace. But instead of being contented to live by His grace, they wanted to live by law.
Do Not Conform

Resist Unto Blood
Hebrews 12:4. What is the meaning of "You have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin"? Is the goal of Christians to avoid sinning at all cost?

Surrender. Rest. Peace. Letting go. But if the Bible says that the flesh desires what is contrary to the Spirit, then how can you surrender to God?
Remaining In Sin
What shall we say then? Are we to remain in sin so that grace may increase? Absolutely not! How can we who died to sin still live in it? (Romans_6:1—NET)
