Jeremy have been asking the holy spirit for his help with this and in regards to the lame man that Jesus healed I do nt believe that sin was the issue for him just like the blind man was it his parents or did he sin the answer was neither but so that God would be glorified.What was the sin that may have been worse for him.The two situations are related of the woman caught in adultery the key words being go and sin no more only two references in the bible and will explain later the lame man we see at first his dependency on everyone else for his needs he cant do it he is in the best position to receive Gods grace but what does he do with it.Does he follow Jesus no we are told he goes to the temple and Jesus finds him now that he has his strength to do things on his own what his response to follow the way of the pharisees that is what is worse than his condition before so he is warned by go and sin no more.We get confused because we see the word sin but the giver of is speaking to him to go another way means death.Getting back to the two situations of the woman caught in adultery and the lame man here we see a picture of our hearts on the one our love for sin and on the other the desire to work out our salvation on our terms they are the two areas we have to submit to God.My experience was the self righteousness was the harder to deal with because it is linked in to our feelings of self worth and self confidence so we have to be broken so we are humble enough to realise that without God we can do nothing our flesh hates that so it is a struggle at first to change our way of thinking.brentnz

Jeremy I agree its not about what we can do but all about what Jesus has done for us it is all about his grace not following mans laws or trying to please the pastor or the church.Be respectful for those in authority and show them Gods love work hard as for the Lord as you serve them and pray for them but do nt try and please them.We no longer follow the ways of the world we live to please the Lord and worship him not man because that is idolatory.Thats why religion does nt work we can do nothing to add to Gods grace.Grace is also not a licence to sin as some christians believe and God is not fooled if we do not repent and turn from our sin he does nt hear our prayers if the intents of our heart are wrong.God listens to the humble and the repentent sinner or saint.The journey in following Christ is about how much do we want to follow Jesus to discover the abundant life and richs in Christ we must fully give him all our hearts and serve him wholehearted out of thankfulness for his grace and mercy towards us.brentnz
