Subject: Retain or forgive sins? |
Bible Note: Colin: This is a repost with the omission of the second paragraph that you found offensive. Again, I apologize. I am doing this in the hope that it will encourage you and you will find the peace that Jesus offers us in our assured salvation. Peace Indeed, self examination is a must, when we do this we are reminded daily of our need for a saviour. Hence. we are to take these sins to the LORD! And lay them down at the Cross of Christ! In not doing this we only impede our sanctification and lose a portion of our reward, there is NO way to forfeit our salvation-!! And there are copious, myriad, plethora, Scriptures, that attest to that truth; and lots of em too-!! Just kidding, there aren't really all that many, but certainly enough to form a sound doctrine. The only Ifs that I see friend, are in the heart's of those who don't totally trust Jesus Christ, and the efficacy of the Cross to gain a sure and true salvation. My salvation is ROCK solid my friend, and built on the Rock Himself, Jesus Christ, my LORD and SAVIOUR! Shalom John |
