Subject: Iam having some questions |
Bible Note: Hello to you stjohn This is sounding very confusing to me. First you are saying "By the indwelling Holy Spirit, we no longer are held captive to a sinful life" When we are accepting of Jesus into our lives then we are forgiven our sins. Then you are saying. "and when we fail, we know He will keep us" If this failing of us is true. Is not this meaning we are still being held captive to a sinful life? What happened then to the forgivness when we accepted him? Then you are saying "He will forgive us our sins, and wash us and impute righteousness unto us" I think you are saying when we are failing he will be doing these things for us. But if this is true what happend to the first time he washed us and imputed righteousness to us? Are you saying that we are only forgiven past sins? That we are having to be washed and imputed with his righteousness all over again? Many times? Because I am beleaving that when we are becomming saved by Jesus for our sins. He washes us clean then the righteousness of God is imputed to us. It is said we are the righteousness of God in Christ.Rom. 3:22 This is the righteousness of God 1John 3:4-9 If we are failing as you are saying this is meaning we are loosing the righteousness of God. Which is not possable for this to be happening to us because we are having been sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise until the day of redemption Eph. 4:30 we cannot lose our salvation. If we are sinning then the righteousness of God and the Holy Spirit are not being very strong. Because you have said "By the indwelling Holy Spirit, we no longer are held captive to a sinful life" Iam not understanding why you are saying we can fail when it is saying we cannot.
