Sin can not take away your salvation.

[thepromiseofgrace]

It is your faith in him and what he is telling us about sin and how we through him and the word can turn from our sins and not even thirst for it! That's His promise!

And, behold, they brought to him a man sick of the palsy, lying on a bed: and Jesus seeing their faith said unto the sick of the palsy; Son, be of good cheer; thy sins be forgiven thee.

And Jesus knowing their thoughts said, Wherefore think ye evil in your hearts?

But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (then saith he to the sick of the palsy,) Arise, take up thy bed, and go unto thine house. ([bless and do not curse]Matthew‬ [bless and do not curse]9‬:[bless and do not curse]2, 4, 6‬ KJV)

if he knows our thoughts why do we need to ask for repentance he must know we are sorry.

the faith we need to show is the faith in the fact he is our saviour and not our feeble efforts.

sorry isn't "saying" it or thinking it .

its turning away and not doing it again .

i mean come on ..if i punch your face then say oh sorry
and then i punch your face again and say ..oh sorry ..im not going to do that again
and then i punch your face again and say sorry ..your going to have rather a hard time considering my apology to be sincere .

 

[Alithis]

If a person refuses to repent then they still need to get saved because they are not born again and therefore remain carnally minded.


I
When a person is saved they are justified. This means they are released from the guilt and penalty of sin. But we retain our sinful bodies and therefore are being progressively sanctified.



Someone like that might have for religion to the degree that he could appear to look exactly like a Christian and it could be very difficult to believe he is not. But the person you describe is not saved. He still has a carnal, unrenewed heart.



You are confusing what we experience in our sinful bodies and the sin that requires repentance. A born again Christian is already on the road of developing sanctification. He doesn't need to repent all over again. He has already changed direction. We are already forgiven once and for all. We are clothed in the righteousness of Christ. Yes, we do acknowledge when we strike out but we don't go right back and ask for the forgiveness we already have in Christ. It is Old Covenant thinking to go and offer another sacrifice every time we do something wrong..



But we don't turn away from Him if we are truly born again and are living as new creatures. Our hearts are always inclined to Christ. We are being transformed each day to be conformed to Christ until we are one mind with Him.Thats what my Bible says about me. Does your Bible tell you that your heart is not perfect before God, that you are turning back from Him one day and having to turn back around the next? My Bible tells me that I am seated with Christ at the right hand of God, totally forgiven for all time, fee from sin-consciousness, a brother of Jesus, and filled with the Holy Spirit. Jesus is not my master, He is my brother. After the day of Pentecost thee is no further reference to a servant/master relationship with Christ. The scripture says we are no longer servants but sons of God and joint heirs with Christ. If you still see yourself as a servant and still needing constant doses of forgiveness then you need to figure out which covenant you are living in.

your in a perpetual state of repentance
another wy to put it would be .. you are "Abiding in Christ " while we remain there , our salvation is a sure as the lord is true .
don't be too concerned i know what you are saying .. when you relied tom y earlier post you got the wrong end of the stick
you are presenting a far better picture then most have here .

my post was a continuation from far back in the thread in protest at the half picture some present .. of course if we are truly saved, we are ever being sanctified . but not all who begin in Christ ..remain in him .there are the sowers and the seeds and the thorns and the birds of the air etc ..

to say it does not happen wold be denying that there are entire congregations that are practicing sodomites at their worst ,but use the "grace" teachings ..in an unbalanced manner to make excuse for sin ..
but as you say ..we must know by their "fruit " the true nature of the mater ,that they are gone our from us because they are not "of " us in the first place .
any way i apologies that i caused you to misunderstand me and then i got hot under the collar at your reply ..
please forgive me for that.

i disagree that asking for forgiveness for a wrong presently done is sacrificing .it is not a sacrifice it is an honesty ..and a realigning with the sacrifice already made .. no one repenting is making any sacrifice what so ever Christ has already made that for all.
i did not hide my transgression fro the lord and he forgave me the guilt of my sin ..
for he desires Truth in the inner most ..

to turn my heart back to the lord and admit my wrong doing has only ever resulted in renewed peace with God
to not do so has only ever resulted in striving against god until i do so .
the lord set us free from sin that we might be free of sin
if we continue in it then obviously we are choosing not to be free from it .
and then we go back to the definition of sin.. for me ..that s not about the law at all ..
its all about listening to the lord Jesus by his Spirit and trusting him in my obedience .. because he first loved me

Actually, we are told to forgive every time. When asked about forgiveness we are always to forgive. It is even commanded of us.

A huge part of repentance is saying your sorry and acknowledging what you have done is wrong. That can be either saying it or thinking it. Only after one has admitted that they have done wrong, can that person then turn away from it and try not to do it again. It is a process with many steps.

so if someone does not repent they lose their salvation , is that what you are saying?

 

[Dave-W]

so if someone does not repent they lose their salvation , is that what you are saying?

If someone does something wrong continually and they reject the conviction of the Holy Spirit and decide to keep on doing what they know they should not do; eventually it is very possible they lose salvation.

Sooner or later, if the subject sinner shows no true repentance, "turning away" by definition, then Christ will take his hand off or your shoulder, and allow you to keep on sinning, and without remorse. God loves us infinitely, and if we don't want to accept the sacrifice he will not force it on us. He will tearfully allow us to go down the road to perdition with great hope of his child turning away from sin before his mortal life is over. There is great rejoicing in heaven when even one lost soul comes back to the fold.

I've often wondered if it's akin to God hardening Pharoes heart, so that he would not let the Jews out of their bonds of slavery. Surely he loved Egyptians as much as anyone else. Surely he didn't ordain that Pharoe be in hell. But it seems to be what Pharoe wanted, so God granted him is autonomy and freedom.

There is hell. In spite of God's endless mercy, and love. Without a choice for his creatures, (which includes Angels, of whom he lost 1/3), to choose not to love Him enough to valiantly work to turn away from sin, then He must grant them their wish to remain outside of His ways, and His will for us. Without hell, there can be no Heaven. There can be nothing to turn away FROM, and nothing to turn TO.

God IS love. And those who love God, because of Jesus cross, may live in love for eternity. Without the cross, this option would not be left to any of us, except Jews who remained deeply orthodox and stuck to the letter of the written law. With Christ, the law was written on our hearts. We now have the ability to know what is good and bad without the law. But the law itself has never changed. Only the penalties inflicted by MAN against MAN for breaking the laws. We now know what is fitting and right by grace. Grace came to us through Jesus Christ.

So, no, Jesus blood is in no way insufficient, and we should be ever thankful that it was shed for many for the forgiveness of sins. Without it, we wouldn't even have a shot at Heaven, because we would otherwise need to "be perfect, as our Father in Heaven is perfect". Jesus died for us, and continues to pray for us. He and our angels are always pleading our case to the Father. All we need do is love the Father, and believe on Jesus Christ. We show this by our repenting of our sins. Since repenting is "turning away", this means even when we fall, we get up, dust ourselves off, and do our dilligent best to not sin again. As our blessed Lord said to the woman caught in adultery: "Then neither do I accuse you. Go and SIN NO MORE". But being fallen by nature, we likely will sin again. This is why, by his grace, He gave the Apostles, by the power of the Holy Spirit the power to bind and loose on earth, and gave us successors to the Apostles to loose us from those sins for which we are truly repentant and sincerely seek forgiveness. The ability to do penance for our sins, and as long as we keep ourselves in this process, not only will He never take His hand off our shoulder, but we can actually see a diminishing of temptation over time to the point, (by the grace of God), that even our most repetitive sins, have been reduced dramatically, if not simply gone away. This is all grace. He will protect us from the glamour and temptations of the fallen angels and world of man, if we only but ask. And that when the sins still DO occur, then by grace, our remorse is relentless in returning us to God for forgiveness.

God bless,

Steven

Why yes, as a matter of fact. There is much scripture to support this. I have to go to work now. When I get home, I'll pop some on here for you. Some of my post, in fact, is paraphrasing scripture.

I am troubled when any "believing" Christian WANTS to go on sinning unrepentantly. It just seems to be taunting God more than trusting in His blood. His blood DOES cover our sins, if that's what we want. And as for me, I do want that. So how do I show that to God? How would you show that to God? Yes, God knows our hearts. So he knows if we're sorrowful. But you seem to suggest that we can sin, and NOT be sorrowful, and make no attempt to amend our lives, and we should still stay in Father's favor. When we seem to be demonstrating by this that we don't desire His world, or His will for us. We wish to be left in our self will, without interference.

Anyway, scriptures coming this evening or in the morning early.

Peace friend,

I look forward to reading the scripture you will post later.

P.S. No one is saying that anyone wants to go on sinning, is not sorrowful and makes no attempt to amend their lives. I think you read something into it that was NOT there, which is not fair to anyone.

 

[bloodbought09]

Steven, seems you have a great grasp on grace but I do notice the catholic mindset in angels praying to God on our behalf and the talk about penance.

There is one mediator between God and man and that is Christ Jesus. And we cannot do any works to absolve ourselves from the penalty of sin. Any work for our sin is not grace but more like disgrace.

Everything but the catholic dogma in your posting looks very good. Peace to you brother.

 

[Alithis]

so if someone does not repent they lose their salvation , is that what you are saying?

why do you ask the question ? is there a sin you don't wish to give up ?

why would anyone who has decided to believe in and follow the lord Jesus ..not turn away from and ever be seeking to remain turned away from sin as they become aware of it in their life ? that's what saved people Do lol .. from that moment on they are ever turning away from the flesh and abiding in Christ .(we die daily-to the flesh)

but in relation to your question..it has already been asked and answered .

the scenario of the man who turned away from being Christian and ended up partying and being homosexual and is found so doing at the return of the lord ..because he would not repent ..he would not turn away from sin and follow the lord ... of course he has lost salvation (and as Oscarr pointed out that would be evidence that he was not truly born again of the holy Spirit in the first place -and we must allow for that when we broach this topic )..

when we use the term" unrepentant sin" we are all perceiving what we mean slightly differently ..
so lets say ... a man struggles with sexual immorality - as a born again he does not struggle against the sin.. he struggles against God in order to commit the sin.for he must silence the Holy Spirit speaking to him in order to commit the sin of looking at porn (which is adulatory) ... then in the midst of it he dies ... i know all the arguments but truthfully ..i do not know if that man will be saved as he has cast off faith to be doing that sin ...
so in that singular scenario my honest answer is .i Do not know .God is Judge .
i know god is merciful and is ever at work in that man to establish his kingdom in him and cause that man to walk in freedom ..perhaps that man knows that but loves the in to much rather the god ..except you take up the cross and follow me Jesus said ...

my post will be extremely long if i relate my own testimony yet again of how the lord delivered me from such sin so that i simply do not commit it any more ..he taught me to love him more then i loved the sin.
but my conscience condemned me whenever i committed that vile sin and i knew in my own heat of the grave danger i was in if i gave myself over to it by justifying it to myself and so deceived myself - still always see two roads before me one to follow and obey the lord jesus then other to follow and obey the sinful inclination of the flesh .. i used to get condemend by the knowledge of the sinful inclination of the flesh but i no longer do ..becaseu i do not walk in it ..knowing it is present in my flesh does not mean i sek it out nor intertain it in my mind to later do it .
but im learning to walk in the Holy Spirit and in that stance we cannot sin for we love god and so obey him and no one can sin while obeying the holy Spirit .
my struggles with sin ended when i realized i was not struggling againt sin to serve god but i was struggling against god in order to do sin .. once i bowed down to the lord Jesus- i found rest and struggle no more .

am i tempted .. no . the devil tries but i laugh in Jesus for we can only be tempted by that which we truely desire to do ..and i truley desire to ove the lord Jesus i no longer desire sin nor the misery and agony and pain it brought to y life or so many years .

i don't care WHERE anyone is at in their life ..or their doctrinal stance in this kind of argument .. the truth is
Jesus loves you and where ever you are at ..if you wil come to him.. he will expose the things of your heart and he will do so in order to correct your heart and love you and love you and love you ..
so don't look at the sin.. lift up your eyes and look to the lord Jesus and stop being burdened by struggling against Him ... bow down at his feet .. and there .. find rest for your soul .

For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh: That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

Faith is not to believe that we are or can be perfect. Faith is belief in Christ and His strength in us. Jesus calls us to love. Love God and love each other. Our faith is also in that this life is not our home. It is not the home of spiritual people because this world is carnal.

We are called to growth, walking with God and sanctification. Not perfection.

 

[Presbyterian Continuist]

Jesus is in the NT so no it's not the old covenant
It's the words of your lord savor Jesus Christ!

When did Jesus say those things? Before His death and resurrection or after? If it was before, He was still speaking to people under the terms of the Old Covenant. The New Covenant did not begin until Jesus had ascended as the Risen Christ to the right hand of the Father and had sent the Holy Spirit to the gathered disciples on the Day of Pentecost. Of course there were some principles that Jesus taught that were transferred over to the New Covenant and these were amplified by the Paul and the other Epistle writers. We have to see that it was Jesus the man who taught during His earthly ministry and His ministry was directed toward unconverted Old Covenant Jews. But when He ascended up on high, it was the Risen Christ who revealed New Covenant realities to Paul and the others through the Holy Spirit. So what the Risen and Ascended Christ has revealed in the epistles is the defining truth of the New Covenant.

He uses faith not grace and pushes it clearly implying we have to believe we can be perfect like him.

We can be perfect, but not as humans. We are already perfected through the blood of Christ and the righteousness of Christ conferred on us. So, positionally, we are already perfect and have the mind of Christ. Christ would not have accepted us as brothers and sisters if it were otherwise. But we are also being developmentally sanctified so that our behaviour and conduct matches who we actually are in Christ. The full matching will happen only when we reach glory to be with Him.

Peter walked out on The water not cause Jesus wanted him to do a cool trick but because he wants is not to believe we can't live a sin free life!

I don't see that stated anywhere either in that account or anywhere else. That is your theory about it, and it is a non Biblical theory. It was not the Lord's choice for Peter to walk on the water. It was Peter's decision. We are not told why Peter did it. Certainly there was no intended lesson for us in it except that when we have the permission of the Lord we can do the impossible.

And repeat he says it a lot! it is to turn from your sin. Turn from your sin or from him.

I remind you that Jesus was speaking to unconverted Jews. In the New Covenant it is different. It is not a turning from sin, but an acceptance of Christ as Saviour. On the Day of Pentecost in response to the crowd saying "what do we do?" Peter said, "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ." The act of believing on the Lord Jesus Christ and accepting Him as Saviour causes us to be born again of the Spirit of God and our sin is taken off us and put on His cross and we are covered by His blood and given His righteousness. The sin question is totally dealt with so that we are no longer sin conscious. Constant sinning and repenting is part of the Old Covenant and is a sign of a carnal mind which is spiritual death and anyone who is in that situation still needs to be saved.

If you are for the world " your sin" you are against Christ! You have erred away form your faith.
You walked out of his hand!

If that is the case, then the person was not born again in the first place. He might have got religion and is a faithful church member, walking the walk and saying all the right words, but he is still in his sin. He is trying to be something he is not. A truly born again person is not for the world, but fully for Christ. In fact, he has Christ living within him. We cannot walk out of His hand because we were never in it. He is in our heart, because He has given every born again Christian a new heart. A lot of the sayings you are saying like "walking out of his hand", etc, although they are popular sayings in our churches to give Sunday School kids some kind of understanding of what Christ is to us, they are non-Biblical. No wonder Paul said to the Corinthians that he could not teach them as mature adults who could receive meat, but as children still needing milk.

Repeat from your sins Jesus says it a lot
, LAlter LiTeshuvah (Immediate Repentance ),
Hebrew translation to English

That's also what John the Baptist preached, and he was an Old Covenant prophet. It looks like I have to continually remind you that Jesus was still part of the Old Covenant at that stage preaching to Old Covenant Jews. That's what folks had to do in the Old Covenant.

Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment: But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire.
Matthew‬ [bless and do not curse]5‬:[bless and do not curse]21-22‬ KJV

Jesus was pointing toward a much higher standard than was accepted under the Old Covenant. What He was showing was an impossible standard for those who were trying to be holy in their own strength. In a way, He was preparing His disciples for the New Covenant, so that instead of trying in their own strength to attain an impossible standard, they would accept Him in faith, be filled with the Spirit and allow the Holy Spirit to work in them to progressively sanctify them. The New Covenant says that all have sinned and come short of the glory of God and that there is none righteous, no, not one. So that is the starting point for a sinner under the New Covenant being convicted of his sinfulness and wanting to get right with God.

How can we be saved from hell fire here in this quote from Jesus !
repentance stoping the sin!

No one can do that unless there is a work of the Holy Spirit in them to convict them of sin and give them saving faith. A person can be a convicted sinner trying to live a religious life and still be lost unless the Holy Spirit gives them saving faith to accept Christ as Saviour. A person can say the words of commitment to Christ, but still be lost unless the Holy Spirit has changed his heart. That's why we have many powerless religious people in our churches trying to be Christians and always feeling that they need to repent all the time. This is because they are convicted of their sin but not truly born again yet. Because once a person is born again, that sin consciousness disappears because the sin has been replaced by the righteousness of Christ. Then the kingdom of God for them is righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.

Ware is grace here ware is your sins will be washed!
Why do you think he left it out? it never says it all all in any of the four books!! Do you have this answer?

I have the answer. I have been saying it all along. The gospels describe the ministry and teaching of Jesus to unconverted, Old Covenant Jews. This is why the truths in the epistles are not set out in them. Although the writers of the gospels knew where they stood in Christ, their intention was to give an accurate account of the ministry of Jesus without writing in what they knew under the New Covenant. That's why we have to balance the gospels with Acts and the epistles.

He only preaches faith In him. Faith the size of a mustard seed even!
Faith to turn from your sin!
Not to sin

The Bondage Breaker by Neil Anderson is a good book to read to show you where you stand in Christ.
