When you are Saved In Jesus Christ?

Question

Is it ok to go on sinning? Because you have eternal life already?

Luke 11:34
Your eye is the lamp of your body. When your eye is healthy, your whole body is full of light, but when it is bad, your body is full of darkness.

Hebrews 10:26
For if we go on sinning deliberately after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins,

1 John 3:4
Everyone who makes a practice of sinning also practices lawlessness; sin is lawlessness.

1 John 3:6
No one who abides in him keeps on sinning; no one who keeps on sinning has either seen him or known him.

1 John 3:8
Whoever makes a practice of sinning is of the devil, for the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the works of the devil.

I do read my Bible! That is why I asked this-It is more of a statement then a question- but I have to word it as a question- but it is for those who think they can keep on sinning deliberately. Yes we will all fall short, but the Holy Spirit convicts us when we do. Praise God for that!

Answer 1

Hebrews 10:26 For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,

There is only one sacrifice that was made for our sins,and that was Jesus on the cross. Those who think that becoming saved gives them a free ride to sin all they want are total and complete fools.

You say that you read your bible, This too is one of the scriptures that you will eventually come to read.

Matthew 7:21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.

When Jesus said "Go and sin no more" That means if you have repented of a sin, you know that it is wrong and un rightous in the eyes of the Lord. You have acknowledged it as such. So why on earth would you go out and re commit the same sin that you have acknowledged to Jesus as being unrightous in His eyes? His love and mercy is pricless as is His forgivness that came with a price that He paid and not one that you or I paid.

Your question makes a person wonder if you even understood what the commitment and covenant that you make with Jesus, when or if you become born again, and accepted Jesus as your savior really means. It means "Go and sin no more".

Answer 2

It is never OK to sin. Romans 6: 1 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? Romans 6: 2 God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein? If you have believe and trusted that the Lord Jesus Christ died for your sins you are save forever. The Holy Spirit baptize you into His body and you become a member in particular. 1 Corinthians 12: 13 For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit. 1 Corinthians 12: 27 Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular. The Holy Spirit seals you unto the day of redemption. Ephesians 4: 30 And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption. The Holy Spirit circumcise you. Colossians 2: 11 In whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ: How can you break the seal of God? Who can take you our of His body? Who can un circumcise you? The answer is nothing or nobody.

Answer 3

I've never understood the "Once Saved, Always Saved" doctrine. It's NOT supported in the Bible. Infact, if that were the case, once we were saved, wouldn't Satan just give up on us? I mean, if he can't turn us away from Heaven, why bother right? But, he doesn't give up on us once we turn ourselves over to God. In fact...he tries even harder to pull us away.
I'm new to studying the Bible, so I don't know where I read this, or even the exact way it was said, but the point of the passage was that it's a long and hard battle to get to Heavens door. You go up against many adversaries many times.
I believe getting into Heaven is a FULL time job. Every minute of every day.
So, the answer to your question, which I believe you already know...is "NO, you can not continue to sin deliberately."

Answer 4

If you want to go on sinning then that is a sign that you have not repented, But are going through a ritual. The bible says if we sin willfully after that we have received the truth there is no more sacrifice for our sins, because we have taken the Blood of Ghrist & trdden it under our foot. So the answer is NO.

Answer 5

well...its not OK but its going to happen. we are sinners. That's the whole reason Jesus was sent down here were not perfect and we never are going to be perfect.

Romans 3:23 For all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God.

It says ALL have sinned. NO ONE is perfect and its impossible to be perfect. If we didn't sin then Jesus wouldn't of had to come down here and save us.

Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death but *the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.*


The wages of sin is death. But lucky for us God sent his gift of eternal life that is only possible through Jesus. If you are a Christian and you have asked Jesus into your heart you are going to heaven.

Hebrews 10:26

For if we go on sinning deliberately after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins.

It says if we go on sinning DELIBERATELY. But even if you have sinned our God is a merciful God and he will forgive you. All you have to do is ask for forgiveness.


We are not perfect people and we will always sin. That's the way it is. But remember, that's why Jesus was sent here, to save us from our sins.

Answer 6

1 John 1:8-10 If we say we have no sin, we are only fooling ourselves and refusing to accept the truth. But if we confess our sins to him, he is faithful and just to forgive us and to cleanse us from every wrong. If we claim we have not sinned, we are calling God a liar and showing that his word has no place in our hearts.

All people are sinners by nature and by practice. At conversion all our sins are forgiven - past, present and future. Yet even after we become Christians, we still sin and still need to confess. This kind of confession is not offered to gain God's acceptance, but to remove the barrier to fellowship that our sin has put between us and him. It is difficult, however, for many people to admit their faults and short-comings, even to God. It takes humility and honesty to recognize our weaknesses, and most of us would rather pretend that we are strong. But we need not fear revealing our sins to God - he knows them already. He will not push us away, no matter what we've done. Instead, he will draw us to himself.

Answer 7

Man is not perfect, and we will continue to sin. However, we are called to act Christ-like in our behaviour or in other words, live a sanctified life. Through God's grace we can ask for forgiveness and we shall be forgiven if we are trully remorseful of our sins.

Answer 8

Many free-will advocates attribute this "permission to continue sinning" to Calvinists who figure they are "chosen" enough to be exempt from any condemnation. But when God enters into a relationship with his own, He changes hearts around! We have no desire to sin, but we are also human, and sanctification is a lifelong struggle.

Answer 9

You are saved so it does not matter if you sin. However you are a human and there fore are not perfect. You will sin when you are saved but your salvation cannot be token from you once you are truly saved.

Ask a preacher if i am right cause i'm only 12.

Answer 10

When you are truly saved, you won't want to sin. You will still sin, but you won't want to. God's word speaks of a new nature, a new creation when you are saved. It is your old nature that sins, your old and new natures will be constantly at war with one another.
No, it is not ok.
