You assert man-made preconditions for God’s forgiveness.
But the New Covenant shows that there is NO precondition to God’s forgiveness, that because Christ already suffered the full penalty and condemnation for every sin that has and will happen, God is NOT imputing the world’s sins to them because his is righteous, does not commit double jeopardy, and wants everyone to receive his son Jesus Christ.
Christ put away sin forever (Hebrews 9:26). The issue is not sin, it is Christ.
Not at all - just the opposite. I believe God chose his elect for salvation in Christ before the beginning of time in his sole sovereignty and based on no works of their own. However, I believe scripture when it says those chosen, once regenerate, will repent of sin and sincerely work to live a life apart from it. That will be of upmost importance to them. Being human they will continue to sin but they wont live a life of continuous or indiscriminate sin. When they do sin they will feel true remorse and confess it to God. They will sincerely work to eliminate that sin from their life. We dont do this to earn our way into heaven but, rather, to show our sincere gratitude that we have been given eternal life. However if someone is unconcerned and indifferent to a persistent sin in their live (or even worse, if they work to rationalize or condone it) it is a powerful sign they are not regenerate.
