Where do you stand on sinning after being saved? You are forgiven, but I am still confused.?

Answer 1

Think of sin as falling down.

Think of salvation as a Hand raising you back up.

Think of repentance as reaching up for the Hand that will raise you.

And remember, if you reach up for that Hand just one more time than you fall down, you win!

Answer 2

After the very first sin (Adam and Eve eating the fruit from the tree of the knowlege of good and evil. Check near the beginning of Genisis if you want to find out more about that) sinning was and is inextricably a part of human nature. Everyone including Christians sin willingly. However, Christ died on the cross to cover these sins. ALL of your sins are forgiven as soon as you except God's gift of forgiveness and eternal life

Answer 3

There are only 2 types of sinners, Saved and unsaved! When you first believed in Jesus, all your sins were forgiven being past, present and future. We all sin every day and its nice to know that when we trip and fall we ask for Gods forgiveness and get right back up again and keep walking.Remember, Gods grace is greater than all our sin and you have no right to remember what God has forgiven and forgotten. God loves you and me totally unconditionally!!

Answer 4

By "saved" I assume you mean baptised. Yes, your slate is wiped clean by baptism, including original sin, but it doesn't mean you have a permanent get-out-of-hell-free card; depending on your denomination, what you do after your baptism is just as important as the baptism itself. In consideration of the fact that humans aren't perfect, the church instituted the concept of confession, where you confess everything you've done wrong and agree that you feel bad about it and promise to try not to do it again. In a perfect world, you would sincerely mean it and attempt to live a better life, possibly slipping up every now and then but getting forgiven every time you go to confession. That's why last rites are so important for the dying: they want to make sure you're forgiven for everything you've done that you didn't get a chance to confess since the last time you were in confession, or anything you might have forgotten to mention, so you don't end up going to hell on a technicality.

Answer 5

You are only forgiven for thesins you have already committed, Any sins you commit after the day you were saved, must be accounted for. Saying that, the sins are written down in the ten commandments. Everything else is not a sin.

Answer 6

Even after being saved we will still sin.

The lifetime job of casting off the old man (our self will) and putting on the new man (gods will for us) will be difficult and sometimes we will fail, actually we will fail a lot.

The only difference between being saved and not being saved, is that we know that we can be forgiven, have been forgiven, and will continue to be forgiven. Our job is just to keep working toward being what GOD wants for us and to keep our weaknesses under control of GOD and not ourselves.

Answer 7

Read John 10:27-29, Phil 1:6, 1Peter 1:5, Rom 11:29, John 6:37-39, Eph 1:13-14, John 5:24. You canot pul youself from Gods' hands, Jesus began your salvation and He will finish it, we are saved by faith not works, so if we were saved by good works then our sin would un-save us, Unless the Holy spirit draws you you cant be saved and if He has called you to be saved then He cant repent of it,

Answer 8

Once Saved, Always Saved The Dangerous Doctrine of Eternal Security!

This is a very important doctrine to understand, as many have demonstrated inexcusable behavior with the belief that once they were saved they can no longer be lost.

Nowhere in the Bible is entrance into God's kingdom tied to a momentary - or even temporary - faith experience of the past. Salvation is a dynamic, growing relationship with the only One who has eternal life to bestow. It requires continuing contact in order to receive it. The very life of God can be shared with men but NEVER APART FROM A LIVING UNION WITH CHRIST! "He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life." 1 John 5:12.

Answer 9

Yes you can still be forgiven, but you should try to limit it down, control yourself, Remember you name can be erased from the Book of Life just as easily as it was written. God understands you're not perfect, he understand sometimes we fall. But if youre truely saved, you strive to NOT do things that will make you fall, and you try to stay away from situations that could lead to sinning.

Answer 10

For some reason I have to make logical sense of this sin and forgiven stuff.Some sin and go to hell.Some sin and go to heaven.I move on when I see a logic loop.
