Bible Answer: Hello Robert, I would like to answer your question from the bible if I may? 1. We all sin and fall short of GODS glory. (Romans 3:23) There is no man that does not sin. (1Kings 8:46) However there is a differance between being a sinner and practiceing sin. When someone practices sin and makes no attemp to stop, does not show a repentant heart, does not go to GOD in heartfelt prayer then thair prayers are in vain. Matthew 13:13-15 Luke 6:47 I will show you what he is like who comes to me and hears my words and puts them into practice. Acts 16:21 by advocating customs unlawful for us Romans to accept or practice." Acts 19:19 A number who had practiced sorcery brought their scrolls together and burned them publicly. When they calculated the value of the scrolls, the total came to fifty thousand drachmas.[ 19:19 A drachma was a silver coin worth about a day's wages.] 2. We know that we have been forgiven because a. we have asked our prayers in Jesus' name. John 14:14 b. We exercise faith. Romans 10:10, James 5:15 c. We have repented and turned arround. Acts 26:20, Acts 3:19 |
