DISCLAIMER:
Nothing said in this short questionnaire should be taken as a
justification for willful sin in the life of a professing Christian. The
Bible says if we continue to sin willfully (that is, against known
light in known sin by an act of the will), and persist in that sin
without true repentance after receiving the knowledge of the truth, then
there is no sacrifice left to cover our sins (Christ’s blood then
profits us nothing), and all we have to look forward to is the fierce
judgment of God (Hebrews 10:26-31).
If you claim to be a Christian, but you have tolerated any known form
of sin in your life, and you’re not fighting it, wrestling against it,
hating it with all your heart, and finding repentance and ultimately,
victory over it, then you are in grave and serious danger. The grace of
God teaches us to deny ungodliness and worldly lusts, and the business
of a Christian is a conduct of habitual holiness and love, and bearing
fruit for God’s glory. Though in many things we offend all, especially
in word, the true Christian does not commit and continue in ANY known
sin, and if he stumbles, he will find true repentance quickly. If you
are living in any known sin, and you continue to do that sin over and
over, and aren’t fighting for your deliverance with a holy violence, and
seeking victory above everything else in life, then you have very much
reason to doubt the reality of your salvation. Those born of God have a
new nature within them, which causes them to hate sin and love holiness,
and the practical conduct of all Christians who have been born again
undeniably proves that their practice is one of habitual righteousness
and true holiness by faith in Jesus Christ. Read it all HERE
Scriptures teach consistently that faith comes through the proclamation of the gospel, not through good works. Christ himself was not arrested and arraigned because he was trying to restore family values or feed the poor...The mounting ire of the religious leaders toward Jesus coalesced around him making himself equal with God and forgiving sins in his own person, directly, over against the temple and its sacrificial system. Michael Horton
The purpose of this Blog is to introduce men and women all over the World to the Doctrines of Grace; the 5 Solas; Reformation Theology and the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
