Bible Question:
I am trying to find the passage that about being forgiven only seven times somthing. A discussion brought up the question that we are not free to keep sinning as much as we want and then keep asking for forgiveness. Is there a reference in the bible that we will only be forgiven so many times? Carla |
Bible Answer: Hi Carla, No there is not a verse that says that we will be forgiven only so many times. In fact the Bible says if we fall He will continue to pick us up. In the Psalms it says if a righteous person falls that He will pick them up several times. The focus however is this. That once you have been saved by inviting Jesus Christ into your heart, then the Holy Spirit will take up residence in you. When that happends, you will feel bad about the sin or sin's that we commit on a daily basis. The Holy Spirit's job is to convict the world of sin, so we will want to turn from it. The Holy Spirit also provides us with power and strength when we are weak to overcome temptation when it lurks. I know it can be difficult at times, but when we break through sin's power with the indwelling work of the Holy Spirit, you will truely be amazed at God's power working within you to overcome. I hope that this helps you out some sweetie, hope that you have a blessed day, and most importantly that you become a blessing to everyone that you meet! Take care....Mike |
