Subject: Turning to sin after salvation |
Bible Note: Aniset, I'm in general agreement with your post. However, maybe you could clarify the last couple of sentences in it. You state: "But, if we happen to do what is bad in his eyes, he will forgive us if we show a truly repenting heart and change our corse of life to do what is good. First, you must make a conscious decision to change. Acts 3:19," I'm assuming you speak of believers here. If so, then are you implying that our forgiveness is conditioned upon our repentance? In other words, do we already have forgiveness of all sins as Colossians. 2:13 states or must we seek further? I certainly don't mean to imply that repentance i.e., a change of mind is unnecessary- I think it is. However, my understanding of scripture leads me to conclude that forgiveness is not only based upon the completed work of Christ on the cross- but that it's actions have continuing present results ( Col. 2:13., 3:13, Eph. 4:32). I would submit that Ephesians 1:7 is one of the clearest scriptures in presenting and understanding the finality and completeness of Christ's atoning sacrifice. "In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of His grace" What we see is the that we have forgiveness within the sphere of Christ "in Him" and that this forgiveness is "according to the riches of His grace". This is void of any merit on our part. Your thoughts? Speaking The Truth In Love, BradK |
