Does God forgive you of all sin?
One of the bibles greatest truths is, Christ died for all of
our sins; past, present, future.
You cannot “loose your salvation” because you commit a new
sin today. Reality tells us we will
always have some level of sin, either of word, deed, or thought. With the gift Christ gave us, we can be
forgiven of all sins, each time, no matter what they are. Our salvation doesn’t
depend on what we do, but rather on what Christ has already done once and for
all on the Cross. The Bible says that
Christ “appeared once for all at the end of the ages to do away with sin by the
sacrifice of himself” (Hebrews 9:26).
Does this give us a license to go out and freely sin? “God
forbid!” Sin is an offense to God and
separates us from His perfect will for our lives. Our fellowship with Him is
hindered, and we open ourselves up for greater heartache and pain. It also compromises our witness for Christ
for the bible says, “Be holy, for I am holy.” (1 Peter 1:16)
You cannot live the
Christian life in your own strength. You need God’s help–which is why He has
given His Holy Spirit to you. When you sin, confess it immediately, and then
seek the Holy Spirit’s help each day to live as you should.
