Bible Question (short): Fellowship? Am I in or out? |
Question (full): Thanks for your help. Please humor one more question. What are the consequences for Christians who are 'out of fellowship' with God? I know it seems that I'm asking alot of questions that almost seem to say, "How much can I get away with?" But, I'm not trying to imply that. I don't believe we should sin so that grace may super-abound. What I need to know, and I don't think I'm the only one, is, 'Where do I stand with God?' If I've accepted the gospel that Christ died to take away my sins, and that He now resides in me living His life through me, then where do I stand? You been gracious enough to answer that, in Christ, I AM forgiven. Can I be in and out of fellowship, too? Other than 1 John, is there any other N.T. writings that deal with Christians being out of fellowship with God - what the consequences are, and what the remedy is? Thank you. |
