What about the Christians who are living in sin? Pornography, Addiction, Adultery?
I don’t think your premise holds true. What do you think?
How can a Christian living in sin be a saint? Even with a small “s”??
And definitely not with a capital “S”
Got to remember that we are dealing with the “sola scripture” only folks.
“What about the Christians who are living in sin? Pornography, Addiction, Adultery?”
Either the person had never entrusted themselves to the grace of God via the completed and perfect sacrifice of Christ, or God will bring them to repentance. HE is perfectly capable of this and demonstrates it in the Scriptures.
If the person has never entrusted themselves to Christ, the person is not a saint.
If someone has entrusted themself to Christ, all their sins are covered by His sacrifice - past, present and future - by His blood. The person themselves is crucified with Christ and the old nature has been put to death. Christ’s work covers both the sins and the sinner.
Glory to God for His unspeakable gift!
