Ellen White writes that, in order to let Jesus into our hearts, we must stop sinning. Is that what you mean by "reject it?" Do you believe we reject salvation when we continue to sin?

Is Jesus Christ, the "Author and Finisher" of our faith, the One who works in our heart to "will and to do" of His good pleasure, in control of our heart when we wilfully choose to sin??

Do you believe we reject salvation when we continue to sin?

Here are similar questions:

(1) Does the author and the finisher of our faith allow sin to continue, or does He immediately remove all sin from justified persons?

(2) Is God able to instantly remove all sin from justified persons?

(3) Why doesn't God immediately remove all sin from justified persons?

(4) Is salvation contingent upon sin removal?

(5) When does the corruptible put on incorruption?

Now, back to my initial question: Q: Is it possible for Christ to enter the heart of a sinner, or must the sinner first remove his sin before Christ can enter his heart?

Why don't you answer my question first? Is Jesus Christ in control of the heart at the moment of someone who wilfully commits a sin?


Why did you skip the second part of my post which answered your question directly from Scripture? You asked:

To which the Bible plainly states:


"For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins, but a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries." Hebrews 10:26-27


Did you purposefully ignore this?

Many will find out to their sorrow, that something else was in control.
