    R.C. Sproul Jr. stated that the bigger question is that Christians don’t care about the

  • 00:06

    fact that they are sinning.

  • 00:08

    What is the answer to that question?

  • 00:11

    Why don’t Christians care that they are sinning?

  • 00:13

    Obviously implied in this is why don’t they care enough?

  • 00:20

    Alistair?

  • 00:23

    I think the answer actually lies in the gospel.

  • 00:27

    That an understanding of what has happened in the gospel—that if we don’t preach

  • 00:32

    the gospel to ourselves all day, everyday, then we will fail in some arena.

  • 00:40

    And one of the areas of failure is a fast slide into antinomianism.

  • 00:46

    So people then, under the disguise of a super-abundant concept of the grace of God answer the question

  • 00:54

    with which Romans 6 begins and answer it wrongly: Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound?

  • 01:01

    Answer: yes.

  • 01:02

    And so off they go.

  • 01:04

    You know, shall I take my body and join it to a prostitute?

  • 01:07

    What kind of question is that?

  • 01:09

    That’s a question for a Christian because the Christian has been united with Christ.

  • 01:14

    The Christian is in union with Christ.

  • 01:17

    Now I’ve got the answer to my own question, I’m finally getting the answer.

  • 01:23

    The reason is that the believer does not understand the notion of union with Christ.

  • 01:30

    And when we don’t understand what it means to be united with Christ then all we’ll

  • 01:35

    be left with is either legalism on the one hand, or lawlessness on the other hand.

  • 01:41

    It is “Since then” you have been raised with Christ, you seek those things that are

  • 01:45

    above.

  • 01:46

    And it is because of who you are in Christ, because your nature has been changed, because

  • 01:52

    your status has been changed, because you’ve been raised to the heavenly places that these

  • 01:57

    things are not impossible, but they are now incongruent.

  • 02:01

    And I think part of the problem is that people do not know who they are in Christ.

  • 02:11

    I think also that there is a hidden premise in the question that can be very distorting

  • 02:20

    when we ask the question, “Why don’t Christians care about their continuing sin?

  • 02:32

    It is absolutely impossible for a person to be regenerate by the Holy Spirit and not

  • 02:44

    care at all about sin.

  • 02:47

    In that sense, there’s no such thing as the “carnal Christian” who can receive

  • 02:55

    Christ and be regenerate and have no repentance.

  • 02:59

    That’s impossible, that’s as unbiblical as it gets.

  • 03:03

    I think what’s implied in the question is why don’t we care to the degree we ought

  • 03:08

    to care?

  • 03:10

    We care, but we don’t care enough.

  • 03:13

    It’s because our hearts are still less than fully sanctified, and God the Holy Spirit

  • 03:24

    in his convicting power has not fully revealed to us the sinfulness of our sin—thank God.

  • 03:36

    Exhibit A is David after his ghastly act of adultery and proxy murder of Uriah.

  • 03:45

    He was trying to cover it up and was at ease in Zion.

  • 03:49

    He was a believing man and he was down in the dregs of evil and yet he doesn’t really

  • 03:56

    show a whole lot of concern until God sends that prophet to him and tells him the story;

  • 04:03

    and when the light dawns, when Nathan says, “Thou art the man!”

  • 04:10

    Wow, David sees the evil of his sin, and writes Psalm 51.

  • 04:19

    Psalm 51 could never have been written by a human being who did not care about his sin.

  • 04:26

    But here’s the blessing, if God revealed to me right now the full measure of the continuing

  • 04:35

    sin in my life, it would destroy me.

  • 04:41

    God is gracious and gentle in correcting us gradually.

  • 04:48

    That’s one of the things that’s nice about progressive sanctification, because if He

  • 04:53

    gave it all at one time, we’d be dead.
