Suppose someone very close to you was really wanting to accept Christ into their heart and life...yet, at this present time they are living in sin with someone. They cannot at this point in time, see leaving this other person, so they feel they are not worthy ( which NONE of us are) of Christ's gift. Now I have been told that since this person is not willing to leave this situation voluntarily, that they are not truly ready to be saved... However , I tend to believe that if this person truly wants to accept Christ, and does, that the things she feels she can't do right now,on her own, Christ will strengthen her , and show her His will for her life... which she can't see at this moment. Anyway, this involves someone dear to me, and when she asks me questions concerning all this, I would like to be able to steer her in the right direction. Jesus is our hope. And in accepting Him and His will , nothing is impossible. I would appreciate any advice/scripture to refer her to that might help. God Bless. |

Dear believer- No sin is beyond the forgiveness of Christ. Ga 3:2222 (NASB) But the Scripture has shut up everyone under sin, so that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe." The very word of God declares us all sinners. 1 Pe 2:24(NASB) 24and He Himself bore our sins in His body on the cross, so that we might die to sin and live to righteousness; for by His wounds you were healed. This person who is so close to you does not have the capacity to rearrange her life and better prepare herself to be in line to receive the free gift of salvation through Christ Jesus (as do none of us). We are called to Christ while we are still sinners, not after we have sufficiently rid ourselves of certain sins. Ro 5:7-8 (ASV) 7For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: for peradventure for the good man some one would even dare to die. 8But God commendeth his own love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Nothing we can do to get closer to right. It's all Him or it's all sin. Hope this helps. God bless you and be thankful he has given you a burden for another's salvation. Jeff |
