Bible Question:
S.Wootley, Thank you for your answer it was a big help, but how far back would you go? My case goes back 20 some years. Sonny |
Bible Answer: My case actually goes back 40 years. Just because we give our lives to Christ and repent of our sins does not mean that we will not sin again. We are always in a constant battle with the flesh(sin) and the spirit (good). Once we repent we need to ask for descernment to be led away from the temptations of the flesh. |
