As do I. Therefore you should repent daily. The medievals confessed on a daily basis. Why don't we?
When one repents of their sin and turns to Christ, they are forgiven and obtain eternal life in Him.
That doesn’t mean that we don’t ever sin again. When we do, we confess it and ask forgiveness so that the relationship is unimpeded. But it doesn’t mean we lost the eternal life until we confess and ask forgiveness.
When your children disobey you, they don’t stop being your children. The relationship is disturbed until they confess and ask for forgiveness, but you’re not going to disown them for it.
When we are saved, Christ’s righteousness is imputed to us. God sees us through Christ. When we confess the sin in our lives, it frees God up to bless us and give us more insight to Him and we can grow closer to Him, but it has no affect on our eternal destiny.
That’s part of what the security of the believer that Catholics miss is about. Not that we can live a live of unrepentant sin and flaunt it and still expect to be saved, but that we can be sure we’re saved in spite of the sin in our lives that for some reason we haven’t confessed yet.
God has made it as easy as possible for us to be saved. He calls us. He died for us. He offers it as a free gift for the taking to whosoever will. He made it easy enough for a child to do. He empowers us. He determined the exact times and places where we should live so that we might seek Him and reach out for Him and find Him. He knows our frame that we are dust. He has compassion for us as a father has compassion for his children.
God is not going to damn someone who has trusted Christ because he slipped up somewhere. That puts salvation solidly in the works camp instead of grace and a free gift.
He is not going to offer us salvation as a free gift and then demand we pay for it.
It's rather like a husband and wife thing....over the years you get to know one another pretty well. So I surely know when something I say or do is not to His liking...and some days I will brood when I don't want to do what he's asking of me. Of course later feeling like a fool and other times come to Him ashamed it took me so long to get there before Him...I get angry with Him at times..and can and do make my point...He is a wonderful listener and quite understanding when I don't want to discuss something...he gives me time to ponder.
The scripture says...’Thy maker is thy husbandman”...and He has been just that to me for many years. But more so after I lost my husband....the Lord has more than filled that gap.
So you see it is for me about relationship. I can go for a couple days even, and barely have conversation...but not for long..I miss him too much.
