I take it that you are one of those who believe that once you are saved, if you sin, you can lose your salvation. I hate to throw a wet blanket here but you are going to sin today. In all of history there is only ONE PERSON who did not sin. By grace we are saved and even that is a gift from God. When you appear in front of the throne you will not be asked anything about “sin”. The only question will be, “what did you do with/about MY SON? Sins count for nothing as they were hung on the cross and paid for with blood. forever/future, not just that one you did today. And guess what, the one you will do tomorrow is already paid for.
Fish Hawk, I take it you are one of those who read none of the passages I referenced, or you wouldn’t charge the conclusions just cited.
Further, you seem take comfort in the term “Salvation” with no apparent understanding of it’s meaning.
We can do nothing to reverse the effects of Original Sin.
Christ’s sacrifice provided Salvation, “For by grace you have been saved through faith, and this not from you; it is the gift of God.”
As humans we are quite capable of rejecting this gift!
“faith without love is nothing”
“if you love me, keep my commandments”
“if you wish to enter into life, keep my commandments”
AND, Heb 10:26-30
“If we sin deliberately after receiving knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains sacrifice for sins but a fearful prospect of judgement and a flaming fire that is going to consume the adversaries.
Anyone who rejects the law of Moses is put to death without pity on the testimony of two or three witnesses. Do you not think that a much worse punishment is due the one who has contempt for the Son of God, considers unclean the covenant-blood by which he was consecrated, and insults the spirit of grace? We know the one who said: “Vengenance is mine; I will repay,” and again: “The Lord will judge his people.”
Rather a “tissue” than a “wet blanket”, I’d say.....
Beans!
