All haved sinned and fall short of the Glory of God
The New Testament Epistle of Romans teaches us that...all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, but alot of times people go on without reading the next few verses in context! Notice the language of verse 23! ALL HAVE SINNED! PAST TENSE! Something you did in your past life.
Rom 3:23...For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
Let's go on! Without reading on further that verse can be misleading to some. When taking the verse by itself and not reading further on some will conclude and say that Christian's are a bunch of sinners. Not true! What does the next few verses teach?
Rom 3:24-26...Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.
Let's break it down! When understanding Paul's statement in verse 23 to be statement regarding the past life of a man without Christ, a different picture is painted about what man is after he's redeemed by Christ.
Verse 24 speaks of the sinner being justified freely by God's Grace. It goes on to say that Divine Grace is found through redemption that comes from the shed blood and crucifixion of Christ. This is where God given righteousness to the human soul comes to the believing heart. The Bible teaches this! Present tense righteousness is given to a believer when all past sins are remitted (forgiven) by God because of personal belief and trust in Christ's redemptive work. The source of God's declaration of righteousness comes through your personal faith (present tense) in Christ's redemptive work on the cross at Calvary. The greek language of the Bible calls this finished work of Christ a, propitiation.
A justified man "use to be" (past tense) a sinner, before he was justified. After justification by Grace is experienced... man is forgiven, pardoned, and declared righteous based on the effects of Calvary. A righteous man is a man that's made righteous by the Grace of God in the present tense. He is no longer unrighteous. He walks and lives righteous. Present tense righteousness in the heart of man, given by God's Grace does not produce and unrighteous life or sinful conduct. The Bible teaches Christian's are holy and righteous in the eyes of God. The Bible does not condone sin or sinful living. As a matter of fact the Bible condemns sin and sinful conduct in the life of a believer in Christ. Man made concepts have twisted the truth of God's Word to a point where holiness and right living is not taught anymore. Sad but true!
Let's examine the Grace of God that brings Salvation that is powerful enough to give man a clean heart and a desire live and do right. As mentioned above...All "have sinned" (past tense) before Grace came in...but Christian's who have the power of God's Divine Grace don't have to sin anymore. They are no longer rebels against the authority of Christ. Christians are subject to Christ's Holy presence, every minute, every hour, every day. Children of God can have a constant victory over sin by the power of God's Grace that is maintained daily, by a life of obedience to Christ.
Study this passage in Romans to see if it be so...May the Spirit of Holiness give revelation to the truth of Christ's power and presence in our lives. The Christ I speak of... changes people, "Morally" by the Grace of God. Glory! The Bible tells me so!

With God you can say "no"
A child of God is so blessed to be God's property and God's ownership. Dedication to God brings honor to God above all things. One of the greatest blessings a child of God can have in this life is the God given ability to tell the world "no" to worldly things. God gives His children the ability to keep from stepping across the line. Children of God can keep themselves on the right side of the line. Children of God have the right to say no to things that are wrong. This is called keeping your life in order with God. Order brings God's confirmation to the heart and soul. You can say, "no" when necessary. By doing such you will always be on the right side of the line.

Brother Hubert Lindsey - audios
Many audios (previously archived at this site) were lost due to a large migration between (2) web-sites. Not sure if it will ever be tied back together until I cross-link, re-organize, and combine the new addresses.
The Holy Hubert/Hubert T./ Lindsey audio library from sermon.net is still available at the following temporary site. Just scroll through and find the audios you desire to hear.
Until I get this vast library (that I sorted and archived for years) re-organized, or re-created at a new website - only the following temporary link Archive list - Holy Hubert audios - library will work in personal studies - at least until further changes are made - to cross-link the (2) sites as cross-linked before.
All the Hubert Lindsey audios collected over the past 15 years and archived can be found at the following archive...just scroll through and find the one you care to review for study.
Thank you for your patience in this matter. Christ is behind this ministry.

Are you a believer in Christ or not?
Believer’s in Christ live right in the eyes of God because the believing heart is made clean and holy by the Saving Grace of God. Many claim to believe in Christ but live like devils. Who are they kidding? Surely not God. Be not deceived. True believer’s know every sin is forgiven and the heart is clean and right. Reason? Believers in Christ receive the power of God’s Grace that morally changes man from a state of depravity to a state of holiness. Big difference. So, are you a believer in Christ or not?

How does the believer in Christ get a new nature?
The new nature is a morally right nature produced by the Grace of God in the blessing of Salvation. In redemption the heart of fallen man is cleansed from all past sin. Fallen man (a natural enemy to God) can thus be reconciled to God through the redemptive work of a crucified Christ. Human depravity is the nature of fallen man that taints humanity with a natural inclination to do wrong in the eyes of God. Unbelievers are by nature, "out of harmony with God" because of inherited human depravity.
Believers in Christ have the marvelous privilege to escape inherited depravity. Believers in Christ through the power of Divine Grace - can receive a new nature from Christ - the source of regeneration of the human soul. A new and divine nature offers a greater power for the believing heart to do right. A power greater than human depravity. A power greater than the carnal nature of a natural man out of harmony with God. A divine nature is a nature given to the believing heart from God Almighty in the Throneroom. The new nature is birthed of God and offers the greater power of holiness and right living. Greater is the God given divine nature that contains from eternity enough power to raise Christ from the grave; enough power to allow man to escape the corruption that's in the world; and enough power to overcome carnality.
The new nature comes from God. The new nature is not earned or achieved. The new nature is divine and greater than the carnal. The new nature is the down payment given from God - in Salvation of the human soul. The reason Christians do right, live right, and act right is because of the divine nature received in the new birth. Only children of God have a divine nature. Without the divine nature its impossible to please God. All that have a divine nature have God's seal of approval. The divine nature allows the believing heart eligibility to make it to Heaven. Holiness of heart and conduct are fruit produced by the divine nature. All Christians by the power of God are partakers of the divine nature.
2 Peter 1:3-4...According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue: Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.

God "rids" man of sin - Romans 8
Romans 8 deals with sin - but forgiveness is never mentioned. Forgiveness of sins was taught in Romans 1-5. Forgiveness was found in Justification.
After forgiveness was found in Christ - Romans 8 describes a more complete blessing.
Freedom from the Adamic Nature. Deliverance from the root of sin. No longer controlled by the flesh. Carnality taken away. Possessed totally by the Indwelling Spirit. Righteousness of the Law "fulfilled". A completed work of the Spirit - after forgiveness was found earlier in the Christian life.
Read Romans 8 and see for yourself. Confession not mentioned. Forgiveness not mentioned. Sin mentioned but freedom and deliverance from sin taught.
