We do indeed need to repent of sins that we’ve committed each day, but that doesn’t mean we’re saved and not saved on a daily basis.

It’s not like we get saved, oops, we sinned so we’re not any more, and then we confess our sin so we are again, and then oops, we sinned again and aren’t... ad nauseum.

What happens then if you forget one?

Daily confessing of sin and asking for forgiveness restores the fellowship we have with God. Sin breaks the fellowship, not the relationship.

Read the Beatitudes. It’s all about the heart, not the actions. He called the Pharisees whitewashed tombs. You can be perfect in works and still not make it because you’re trusting in your own righteousness, which is really an oxymoron since we have none in and of ourselves. Our works are as filthy rags to Him.

Faith is what pleases God and makes us righteous before Him, not works.

I've posted many many passages fro Stourme, to show how faith is first and faith is what gets counted to make one whole in Christ. But Stourme calls it gobbledegoop. He calls it that because the things of the spirit are not discernable to the carnal mind, the natural man, the unregenerate soul.

I post the passage where the woman with the issue of blood for many years reached out to touch just the hem of jesus garment, faithing that He could heal her, and Jesus turning to tell her her faith hath made her whole ... and she was unclean thus her work was as filthy rags in Jesus's presence, but her faith in Him caused her healing by Him.

I posted passage after passage where Jesus tells those made whole that it is their faith which hath made them whole. And still the unregerate mind refuses to see the truth. The poster himself even offered a passage from John which has Jesus explaining that works of righteousness do not happen unless God is in you, because Jesus told the Pharisees even if they do not believe He is The Son of Man, to look at the works which Jesus could not do unless God be in Him the author of the works. And still the darkness is more comfortable to the poster. Pride/selfrighteousness is a very powerful poison dontchaknow.

Agreed.

Even David, called 'a man after GOD's own heart' commited grievous sins and yet he cried out in psalm 51:

10 Create in me a pure heart, O God,
and renew a steadfast spirit within me.
11 Do not cast me from your presence
or take your Holy Spirit from me.
12 Restore to me the joy of your salvation
and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me.

Restore to me the joy of your salvation

NOT Restore to me your salvation
