To: Lord_Calvinus
Therefore, Lord Calvinus may boldly enter the Holiest to offer up his own sacrifices, not for sin, of which I have no consciousness

If we say, 'We are without sin,' we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. -- 1 John 1:8

If we say, 'We are without sin,' we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. -- 1 John 1:8

All of us sin every day of our lives. But Christ has paid for the sins of His sheep. Every one of them.

That fact should and does induce obedience, gratitude and worship of the Triune God from whom all blessings flow.

As the Holy Spirit leads us in sanctification, we will hate our sins more and sin less and less, by the grace of God alone.

But even as sinners, we still have been forgiven.

"But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,

Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)

And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus" -- Ephesians 2:4-6
