I disagree with this sentence: “ A person who has truly been redeemed by Jesus Christ will not live a life characterized by continuous, willful sin.”

We all live a life of continuous, willful sin. All sin is willful, and we sin everyday. To suggest we don’t is absurd.

Sinning and turning from sin are two opposite acts.

What matters is which of the two you choose over time.

[Nextrush]

I have to ask God to deliver me from sin in the moment I’ve living, in the present.

When I prayed a prayer years ago and then got “saved” and I kept on sinning, which is my actual experience, I wasn’t getting it right.

I need God all the time, all the time.

I can’t do it by self-will using God’s name in vain.

I have to surrender, give it up, admit my powerlessness and say God is ‘the boss’.

I must admit I’m wrong to God and even humble myself to admit I’m wrong to others.

Christians sin. They sin and then repent of their sins. They do not "practice" (continuous, willful sin) sinning.

1Jn 1:8 If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.

1Jn 3:4-6 Everyone who makes a practice of sinning also practices lawlessness; sin is lawlessness. You know that he appeared in order to take away sins, and in him there is no sin. No one who abides in him keeps on sinning; no one who keeps on sinning has either seen him or known him.

Of course I will add, at the risk of sounding judgmental, that today's church certainly makes it difficult to tell Christians apart from the world.

From what I've read on the subject the meaning of continuous is indicative of wanting nothing to do with Christ at all. You are actively looking for sin and not Christ.

Do we all still sin? Yes.

Do we look for ways to sin? No.

I believe that's the difference.

You left out "life characterized by continuous..."

[Zeneta]

We all live a life of continuous, willful sin. All sin is willful, and we sin everyday. To suggest we don’t is absurd.

So, the question remains.

I can both intellectually and emotionally accept Christ as my savior and objectively understand that my sins both past and present are forgiven.

There’s a serious guilt factor at work which is different for everyone.

The question remains;

Am I still worthy of Christ’s redemption if I knowingly sin?

If no, then when?

If yes then why bother.

There’s a commitment factor to the Lord above that should be adhered too, but as you say “We are all sinners”
