Subject: What if willfully return to a sinning li |
Bible Note: Greetings Mark! I wouldn't use the word 'lose'! :-) We can lose a wallet without realizing it. I do believe, per for example Heb. 6, that a believer could willfully reject Christ, but I have only ever known one person that I believe has done so. I can't imagine willfully rejecting Christ. He simply means to much to me. I know that I have always taught that while we can't 'lose' salvation because of acts of sin, acts of sin can harden our hearts to the point that we could reject Christ. So, sin does matter for Christians. We certainly don't have a license to sin. Paul affirmed this point! :-) Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
