EVERYONE persists in sin.

Becoming saved does not mean we don’t sin any more.

It means the penalty has been paid for our sin and we are now in right relationship with God again.

“EVERYONE persists in sin.

As long as we have the life of Adam in us on earth, we will sin. Sometimes by omission sometimes by commission.

For believers, we have payment in full, guarantee of salvation, guaranteed forgiveness to restore fellowship, and Christ as our Advocate.

“Thanks be to God for His indescribable Gift!”

Everyone sins but not everyone persists in sin. Sin is an act of the will. When we sin we turn our will away from God. This we all do from time to time. Afterwards, however, some repent and turn back to God. Others, however, never repent and continue to direct their will away from God. These are the ones that Paul said will not inherit the kingdom of God.
