Answer 2

Our will to sin doesn't reform when you enter a church. It doesn't change when you come to faith in Christ. You can go to church, read your Bible, pray daily, and even lead a ministry without reforming your sinful nature. Paul said, "I know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my sinful nature."

A Christian life is a life of changes. We must, with God's help, incorporate the positive traits in opposition to the negative (sin) we have identified. Paul described this as "putting on the new man" (Ephesians 4:24) with its Jesus like attributes.

For example, lets say we have a problem with stealing. When is a thief not a thief? Someone who is not stealing something may be only a thief between jobs so to speak. The only demonstrable proof that a thief has changed his ways is his starting to do the opposite. The opposite trait is giving. God can help a thief to learn to work "that he may have something to give him who has need" (verse 28).

Through the power of His Spirit working in us we are strengthened in our battle(s) against sin. When we put off the old man, are renewed in the spirit of our mind and put on the new man, we will begin overcome sin. Yes, Christians do sin (1 John 1:8), and Christians are forgiven no matter how many times they sin, but at the same time Christians should live a progressively more Jesus like life as they grow closer to Christ.

God's Infinite Mercy

[39:53] Proclaim: "O My servants who exceeded the limits, never despair of GOD's mercy. For GOD forgives all sins. He is the Forgiver, Most Merciful."

[39:54] You shall obey your Lord, and submit to Him totally, before the retribution overtakes you; then you cannot be helped.

[39:55] And follow the best path that is pointed out for you by your Lord, before the retribution overtakes you suddenly when you least expect it.

[39:56] Lest a soul may say, "How sorry I am for disregarding GOD's commandments; I was certainly one of the mockers."

[39:57] Or say, "Had GOD guided me, I would have been with the righteous."

[39:58] Or say, when it sees the retribution, "If I get another chance, I will work righteousness."

[39:59] Yes indeed (you did get enough chances). My proofs came to you, but you rejected them, turned arrogant, and became a disbeliever.

[39:60] On the Day of Resurrection you will see the faces of those who lied about GOD covered with misery. Is Hell not the right retribution for the arrogant ones?

[39:61] And GOD will save those who have maintained righteousness; He will reward them. No harm will touch them, nor will they have any grief.

[39:62] GOD is the Creator of all things, and He is in full control of all things.

[39:63] To Him belongs all decisions in the heavens and the earth, and those who disbelieve in GOD's revelations are the real losers.

[39:64] Say, "Is it other than GOD you exhort me to worship, O you ignorant ones?"

Answer 4

Growing in Christ:
By His death on the cross Jesus triumphed over the forces of evil. He who subjugated the demonic spirits during His earthly ministry has broken their power and made certain their ultimate doom. Jesus' victory gives us victory over the evil forces that still seek to control us, as we walk with Him in peace, joy, and assurance of His love. Now the Holy Spirit dwells within us and empowers us. Continually committed to Jesus as our Saviour and Lord, we are set free from the burden of our past deeds. No longer do we live in the darkness, fear of evil powers, ignorance, and meaninglessness of our former way of life. In this new freedom in Jesus, we are called to grow into the likeness of His character, communing with Him daily in prayer, feeding on His Word, meditating on it and on His providence, singing His praises, gathering together for worship, and participating in the mission of the Church. As we give ourselves in loving service to those around us and in witnessing to His salvation, His constant presence with us through the Spirit transforms every moment and every task into a spiritual experience. (Ps 1:1, 2; 23:4; 77:11, 12; Col 1:13, 14; 2:6, 14, 15; Luke 10:17-20; Eph 5:19, 20; 6:12-18; 1 Thess 5:23; 2 Peter 2:9; 3:18; 2 Cor. 3:17, 18; Phil 3:7-14; 1 Thess 5:16-18; Matt 20:25-28; John 20:21; Gal 5:22-25; Rom 8:38, 39; 1 John 4:4; Heb 10:25.)

Answer 5

A person's life can end at any moment. That is why, God advises people to believe in Him and do good as early as possible in one's life (in the case of born Muslims) and immediately upon one's conversion to Islam or upon learning to truth of Islam.

Believing in God (that is, faith alone) is insufficient - faith has to be accompanied by deeds (that is, doing good according to God's command). God says that repentance at the time of death for a man who knows Islam - will not be accepted. This is because he will have no more time to alter his ways for repentance. The repentance that will be accepted is the one undertaken when he is active in life and in good health so that he could alter his ways to meet the requirements of Islam. However, if a non-muslim or an ignorant born Muslim comes to know about Islam for the first time and believes in this truth in his deathbed, God, being merciful and compassionate, will accept his repentance.

God says: "God accepts the repentance of those who do evil in ignorance and repents soon afterward: to them will God turn in Mercy: for God is full of knowledge and wisdom. Of no affect is the repentance of those who continue to do evil, until death faces one of them and he says: 'Now have a repented indeed.'" (4:17-18)
