04/25/26 PUNISHMENT IS PERSONAL

04/25/26 PUNISHMENT IS PERSONAL

Suffering because of another person's sins is not the same as being punished because of another person's sin.

Our corrupted nature and impaired condition are because of Adam's sin, but our guilt is because of our own personal sin.

Regeneration, Justification, and Initial Sanctification (cleansing of our conscience, and cleansing our behavior [clean hands]) solve our personal sin problem, and Entire Sanctification, through the fullness of the Holy Spirit, often referred to as "the Baptism with the Holy Spirit", solves our corrupted nature problem (pure heart).
Psalms 24:3-5
3 Who shall ascend into the hill of the LORD? or who shall stand in his holy place?
4 He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully.
5 He shall receive the blessing from the LORD, and righteousness from the God of his salvation.

James 4:8
8 Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double-minded.

Jesus delivers the faithful believer from all sin, inherited sin nature, and personal disobedience to the known law of God.
