1 | Does God bless a christian in sin? | Bible general Archive 3 | prayer warrior | 186568 | ||
3 part question: Asking for a friend who is seeking answers. need to get all the scriptures that I can for her to contemplate on and seek out the answers in the word. she has a friend supposedly a christian who is living with a fellow male christian whom she claims is her husband (fornication)(adultry), which is not but anothers who is seprated from. she is calling him her husband and telling everyone he is her huaband, (lying). If she is a christian how can she be doing this and how can they think they are partakers rightfully of Gods blessings? She is and he is waling in sin and they know it. straight forward 3 part question below. Does God continue to bless a christain if he or she walks in sin and knows it is wrong but still does it? Are they still partakers of the blessings? If so doesn't it make the blessings come forth out of works and not out of Gods mercy? |

Prayer Warrior, Your first question requires a strong assumption. No one truly knows if another is saved though we might speculate strongly one way or the other. The Scriptures teach that if we are truly saved and sealed by the Spirit of God we will not intentionally, willfully go on sinning (Romans chapter 6 for example). Not sure what you mean by "partakers of the blessing" but if your referring to salvation I start with referring back to my first statement here. If I'm following you, I would say your third question should be answered NO. Before they can be "still partakers" they had to have first BEEN partakers. If you are referring to salvation, and then answer that yes, they are still partakers, then no, this argument wouldn't support that salvation results from works. On the other hand, if we were to argue that they were saved but are no longer saved as a result of their sins you described, that would be an argument that salvation is a result of works. The logic follows that if there is a work I can do to "undo" my salvation, there is a work I can do to "redo" my salvation. We don't find such a teaching anywhere in Scripture. (John 10:28-29 for example). Hope this helps, Jeff |
