Bible Question:
Luke, Good day brother. What Jesus did for us on that day was a one time Good deal,after that there was no need for further sacrifice on Gods part.Once was enough. Does this mean we dont sin any more? We both know thats not true. 1 John 3:6 I dont think we have a contradiction here although it may pose a delima for some. This is where repentance comes in, In light of 1 JN3:6 we dont willfully choose to stay in sin,we deal with our sin 2 Cor 7:1-13,James 5:13-16,1 Jn 1:9,and Mtt 6:9-15. Forgiveness and repentance go together. Quick example, If I wronged you in some way would it not be proper for me to appolegise to you and ask you to forgive me? Yes we have been forgiven our sin past present and future. With the above referenced scriptures in mind would it not be proper to go to God with the same attitude of heart? I know I blow it on a daily basis in one way or another and I need to go God every day,it's part of our ongoing fellowship with God and each other.If we are not dealing with our sin are we walking in fellowship with God and each other? In Christ, lionheart |
Bible Answer: Lionheart, You ask would it not be proper to go to God with the same attitude of heart? In reading further in 1 John 2:1-2 It does not say anything about asking for forgiveness. It says we have an advocate with the Father, the very sacrifice that took away our sin has bridged that gap of separation between God and Man. We believers now have PEACE with GOD, through our Lord Jesus Christ, Rom 5:1 I do approach GOD with a similar attitude of heart that you described. I thank my GOD on a daily/hourly/minute/ even second basis for the forgiveness I have received. Should we continue to insult our Heavenly Father by asking over and over and over for Him to forgive the sins that have already been forgiven? Doesn't show a lack of faith, and a reason for weak believers to question their salvation? Maybe we think we have to remind GOD that he is supposed to forgive us. After all GOD is really old, maybe he forgets...... The last to sentences are fasicious, of course. Col 1:13-14 says "For He rescued us from the domain of darkness, and transferred us to the kingdom of His beloved Son, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins." We need to get away from this attitude that keeps dragging us down into condemnation. GOD sent Christ so we can have ETERNAL LIFE, not the bondage of never getting out of the starting block because of our condemnation we put on ourselves because we have truly never relied on the finished work of Christ. I have a desire for a deeper relationship with my Heavenly Father because I have Christ in me. Col 1:27 says "to whom God willed to make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory." Is there a better reason to walk in a manner worthy of our calling? The TRUTH shall MAKE you FREE Saint Luke |
