I agree with your post, but I will add I have come across several Christians who claim that they are now “sin free” over the years. Whatever that means??
I’m saved. Got a safety net that The Sovereign Lord provides when I do sin. I repent - immediately and with a sorrow heart of remorse. Such is our lives in this flesh.
People need to read about the Prodigal son and understand that it is our God’s goal for all to come to Him as they are. He will transform them individually with the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Sometimes it’s a very long process.
I think they are kjust co fused. We are free fro. The penalty of sin in the after life, BUT not free from the consequences of sin in this lifen
Yes, it is mostly a very long time, a lifetime I fact. Some achieve greater success through christ, some not so much, and they get taken out early in life because they chose not to be close to God.. thankfully the Holy Spirit keeps prompting us to keep getting closer to God. Thankfully He doesn’t give up on us as we keep on sinning, and say “it’s hopeless, he or she will never understand, I quit”
