***If you have no desire to do good works, I would question your faith. God gives us the desire to do good works, the ability to do good works, and the command to do good works.***
Intriguing. Hypothetically, what happens to the Reformed if they resist this desire?
***Your bad works, I assume, are sins. They are already forgiven by Jesus Christ.***
So therefore, there would be no reason to avoid committing future sins, since they are already forgiven. Therefore Martin Luther’s exhortation that future sinfulness is of no importance still holds?
***Intriguing. Hypothetically, what happens to the Reformed if they resist this desire?***
Sometimes, like Jonah, they do resist. Didn’t work for Jonah, won’t work for us, either.
***So therefore, there would be no reason to avoid committing future sins, since they are already forgiven.***
Theoretically, yes. Practically, no. Once you are forgiven, there is a strong desire to do what God wants. Avoiding sin is one of those. We still sin. but we do now have the desire to avoid it, because it doesn’t really make us happy, Obeying God does.
