See, this is a matter of nature, folks, this is the beautiful thing and the sobering reality that either you are partakers in the divine nature because you are in Christ, so sin becomes an alien thing to you.
Ever wondered what it truly means to confess your sins? In this episode of 'Encounter Recovery Ministries', host Rick Peterson breaks down the Greek definition of the word 'confess' and reveals its deeper meaning: saying the same thing as God. He dives into the First Letter of John to unpack what God says about sin and why it's actually good news for believers.
Peterson challenges the idea that Christians should be haunted by their sins, explaining that grace through faith has already dealt with the sin problem. He paints sin as lawlessness and a rampant self-will but reminds listeners that they are partakers in the divine nature and no longer bound to sin. The episode also touches on historical debates, like the denial of Christ's humanity by early gnostics, and how these issues relate to modern faith.
Peterson emphasizes that denying the atonement is a serious misstep and encourages Christians to align their thoughts about sin with God's perspective. It's a compelling discussion that promises to offer a fresh viewpoint on an age-old topic.
