Dear Friends of �Dial Daily Bread�:
Can we sinful humans overcome sin? Are we hopelessly entangled in continued sin? It's nice to say that Jesus is our Savior, He overcame, so we can overcome, too; but what did He actually accomplish?
If He came to fight our battle against sin with equipment that we don't have, the "victory" He claims is irrelevant to us. The only conclusion has to be that He saves us in our sins; and that is exactly the basic thesis of "Babylon's" false gospel. You can't avoid continued sinning is the idea. You are still a slave in "Egypt's" darkness.
But "the everlasting gospel" is better Good News than that; Jesus came to fight our battle with the same equipment that He has given to us, not merely offered us (if we do the right thing first, which we don't have the strength to do!). He was the Son of God but the Father has adopted us "as sons by Jesus Christ to Himself,...... to the praise of the glory of His grace, by which He has made us accepted in the Beloved" (Eph. 1:5, 6). It's not a "maybe," "perhaps," "IF you do the impossible
first." He tells us, "I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt [past tense], out of the house of bondage" (Ex. 20:2).
