Bible Question (short): Aren't the elect commanded to repent? |
Question (full): Greetings John! Let me respond to your brain twister by twisting it back to you. If number 2 is correct, then why does the Bible command the elect to repent? Haven't their sins already been paid for? Or, why are we commanded in 1 John 1:9 to confess our sins? Aren't they already forgiven? My answer is simply this: 1 John 2:2! However, Scripture makes it clear that reception of this gift is conditioned upon faith and repentance. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
