Subject: Does sin prove one is not a believer? |
Bible Note: One more thought here. (There should be an "edit" button - anyway I'll post one more thing). Rom. 3:25 specifies it is the sins of the past that are forgiven. Sins in the future dont exist yet. Once a sin is committed it should be repented of. Then it is a "past" sin and can be forgiven. True repentance also means to stop sinning that particular sin. Not from fear of punishment but because you are truly sorry for doing it. Sins continually comitted (even if you ask God to forgive you) will not be forgiven until you stop doing that sin. "We are saved by grace..." That grace reaches us through faith. "We are saved by grace through faith..." Yet faith without works is dead. Our faith is made perfect through our works, and by our works is our faith shown to others (James chapter 2). |
