Subject: Does sin prove one is not a believer? |
Bible Note: Hi David, I don't think you can hang your hat on Rom. 3:25 alone as the definitive verse dealing with forgiveness without reading the rest of Romans- particularly chap. 6. How would you therefore understand Romans 5:20? Was not Christ's death a complete propitiation for our sin? ( 1 John 2:2). Three times in the NT (the Pauline Epistles) we are told that God has forgiven us- past tense ( Eph. 4:32, Col. 2:13, and Col. 3:13). Colossians 2:13 says that, "...having forgiven you all trespasses." What scripture tells us that "Sins continually comitted (even if you ask God to forgive you) will not be forgiven until you stop doing that sin.?" Are we then saved by grace but kept by works? You are advocating conditional forgiveness my friend, if I understand you correctly:-) Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |
