Bible Question: Is there any other time besides death that a human being looses the previlage of forgiveness from God? In other words, no matter what they may do, they are destined to the hell fire. |
Bible Answer: Nowhere in the Bible does it say that God withholds His forgiveness for a specific type of sin. All have fallen short of the glory of God through sin. No further disclaimer is provided. In Romans 3:10-24, 27 Paul describes this very clearly. Therefore, to GOD, abortion is just as bad as lying. Stealing is the same as unjust thoughts. If you accepted Jesus as your Lord and Savior, you cannot lose the privilege of Jesus through your deeds. What you do lose for unconfessed sin is a host of other things, i.e., grace, mercy, peace, joy, life without God's wrath, His Presence and so on. When we have sin in our lives, whether it be unforgiveness for a wrong someone did to us or gossip about a neighbor, we lose God's Presence (hence, the psalmist saying that God is far from him, he cries out but isn't heard). Believe me, life is very different and difficult when God's peace and Presence can be felt. The still small Voice can't be heard through the clamor of one's conscience when unconfessed sin exists. Yes, I speak from experience. In Christ, Estelle |
