The Race to Christ

The Race Won By Staying In the Race
The Race of Endurance
Get Back up And Get In the Race, Proverbs 24:16

A friend of mine once stated he had a dream in which he was running from his past and couldn't get away from it.

We are all are running from our past as sinners. I am, you are if you are saved, and, so were all the great men & women of the bible.

Some people have sins in a secret past no one knows about and some have sins on the outside where everyone can see, but all people have sin, no one is righteous, not one more then another.

Many Christians have a past they're running away from, and G-d says "That is okay." It is okay to run from our former selves after repenting. Moses did this after he killed the Egyptian for beating a former slave, he ran until he met G-d, Exodus 2:11-12,3:1-6. Moses was counted righteous for it and G-d forgot his sin forever and ever. For in G-d's eyes all sin is the same. A former killer like Moses or an aduterer like the Samaritan woman at the well whom had five husbands and living not married to the sixth man, John 4:1-26, these sins are the same as a liar that breaks the smallest point of the law, all people sin and have broken the law needing salvation after repentance by pure grace, Romans 3:10, and our righteous acts are like filthy rags, Isaiah 64:6, and through one man many will be made righteous, Romans 5:19, this one man is also J-sus Chr-st and G-d in the flesh, the word, John 3:16, John 1:1-18, and the righteous shall be righteous not by church rules, regulations, but the pure grace of faith, Galations 3:11, and they overcome sin by the hearing & reading of the word of G-d for this is where faith comes from, Romans 10:17, for faith is how we are saved, Romans 10:9, but faith is also built by prayer, Ephesians 8:16, 1:18-19, and getting up after falling down, Proverbs 24:16, for this race of running to G-d away from sin never ends until the day we die or the day we are raptured, Ecc 9:11, Acts 20:24, 1st Col 9:24, Galations 2:2;5:7, 2nd Titus 4:7, Hebrews 12:1.



Have you stayed in the race or have you fallen and not gotten up yet? How do you overcome sin when you fall? Or do you feel you do not fall? When Peter denied Chr-st two times but not yet the 3rd time, thus hadn't repented yet, hadn't turned yet, do you believe he would have gone to heaven or hell and what is your scriptural support for this? What have been your greatest struggles? Some Christians think they never fall once they are saved. Is this scriptural according to the Pauline Epstles? Why or why not? Some Christians think they never fall once they are saved. They point at their brothers and sisters of different denominations accusing them of not being saved, not following their rules. Is this accusing from G-d or Satan? Have you ever met someone like this? They spend all their effort accusing their brothers and sisters and no effort witnessing to the lost. G-d says we are to pray, repent and get back in the race of pure grace and forgiveness and the following of Him. We are to get up, overcome sin letting Holy regeneration take place becoming metemorphsized into the rightousness G-d intends for each and every one of us. We are to become new creatures. What are your views with scriptural support on regeneration?
