Here are some passages teaching us that Christians
need to continue to repent of their on-going sins …
“Now I rejoice, not that you were made sorry, but that your sorrow led to repentance
… For godly sorrow produces repentance leading to salvation, not to be regretted …”
(2 Corinthians 7:9-10)
“But let your “Yes” be “Yes,” and your “No”, “No” … lest you fall into judgment …
Brethren, if anyone among you wanders from the truth, and someone turns him back,
let him know that he who turns a sinner from the error of his way will
save a soul from death and cover a multitude of sins.” (James 5:12; 19-20)
Surely, there is no guarantee that verse 12 refers to eternal death.
But, re: verses 19-20 … does God kill Christians who continue to sin?
… Absolutely NO! ... So, this must refer to eternal (spiritual) death.
“If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins
and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” (1 John 1:9)
John is writing to Christians …
I’m assuming those who confess their sins will also be repenting of them!
