The Same Thing That Save Christians (Faith / Blood) Also Cleanses Us of Daily Sin (Watch)
The same thing that saves you for eternity (blood and faith) should be the same thing that makes you right with God on a daily basis. Not begging. Not confessing. Just blood and faith.
We all agree that the blood of Christ is what qualifies us for salvation. We all agree that no matter how good you are – you can’t be saved without hearing with faith and the blood of Jesus. Even the legalist Christian would not budge on that. Good!
So why would we redefine what qualifies us for peace with God from our daily struggles with sin? Are not faith and blood still the answer. The legalists say you also need to stop. Then confess. Then and only then are you made right with God again. That is incorrect!
There are thousands of reasons to avoid sin. But being qualified and made right with God is not one if them.
You, Christian, are qualified. Thank you, Jesus, and His finished work on the cross.

Mike Cynar was raised in a church setting where he frequently noticed that many attendees would eventually drift away. The church labeled these individuals as ‘back sliders’ or ‘fake Christians’ just looking for ‘fire insurance’. However, Mike realized the issue was rarely with these individuals but instead with the church’s message itself. The teachings heavily emphasized behavior improvement and one’s flaws, with only a fleeting mention of one’s identity in Christ. It felt as though every sermon was tailored to the church of Corinth, who as we know or committing sins that even unbelievers don’t partake in. This trend was noticeable not just in one denomination, but across Baptist, Catholic, Pentecostal, and many other churches. Upon understanding the true essence of the gospel – that our righteousness comes from Jesus’ actions, not our own – Mike was inspired to liberate believers from lifeless sermons and reconnect them with the genuine teachings of Jesus. He believes that one can nurture a vibrant and growing bond with Jesus, unhindered by rigid religious practices. And thus, “Jesus Without Religion” was born.
It turns out that it is grace that leads to repentance. And if our heart is to get others to walk in the Spirit and live a godly life, then the best approach is not a beat down sermon, but rather to remind other that it is only when we understand our true identity in Christ that we will live it out. Yes, it’s true, if you’re convinced that God thinks you’re a dirty sinner, you will ultimately continue a lifestyle that mirrors that view, but if you truly believe that even on your worst day, you are called holy, sanctified, justified, and will be presented blameless in the end, well, it turns out this is the secret to living out on the outside what has been worked in to the inside.
