"While We Were Yet Sinners"

The work of Christ at Calvary is the source of God's power today. It is a power source that can generate life into a twice dead Gentile today (dead in our sins and the uncircumcision of our flesh ). Christ's work at Calvary is able to save a sinner in while they are yet a sinner. It is not a gospel cliche to, "turn from your sin and then Christ will save you"; for how can one turn from their sin while yet in their sin, while yet a sinner. The gospel is so powerful that while yet a sinner Christ died for us. God has stepped into human history in order to save sinners. It is while you are a sinner that Christ dies for you. It is therefore a great tragedy that so many often share a gospel to turn from one's sin as if they have the power to do so. It is rather blasphemy to think that one can turn from their sin. God has concluded all under sin and fallen short of His glory. How can we then before being saved measure up to His glory to then receive salvation? This is not good news at all, but rather the flesh revealing itself in vain theology of so many scholars and professors today. May we have faith in God's power to save us while yet a sinner. While yet a sinner is the starting point in which God then continues to work His salvation in my life. He justifies (declares righteous) me in His courtroom, He sanctifies (sets apart) me giving me an identity; an atonement with Christ, and glorifies (inheritance in heavenly places) me. God works a complete salvation and at the moment one receives the gospel, how that Christ died for your sins, was buried, and rose again from the dead, He starts this work of salvation while yet a sinner and takes you from the lowest of the low to the highest of the high in Christ. To God His salvation is as good as done. May we not diminish the great power of God unto salvation revealed in the gospel.
