There can be residuals from sin. For instance, overendulging with wine, you can wake up with a hangover. Overeating, especially for a long period of time, (trust me, I know about this) can result in diabetes, heart trouble, and other assorted maladies.

Other sins will have their own consequences, I don’t need to get into them, I think you get the idea, but none of these sins will cause you to lose your salvation. Jesus said that he will not lose one of his own that his Father gave him. We do suffer consequences, but not loss of eternal life.

Forgive me for my incredulousness, but are you saying that the only penalty that the Reformed suffer for their sins is the moral equivalent of a hangover?

***I think you get the idea, but none of these sins will cause you to lose your salvation. ***

Are you further saying that there is no sin, no atrocity, no crime so heinous, no diabolical act, that will prevent you, the elect, from entering the Kingdom of Heaven?
