It also says; "If I confess my sins, he is faithful and just to forgive me my sins and to cleanse me from all unrighteousness" Instantly, he washes me of all unrighteousness. God is light, his promises are true, Hartono. This is not a salvation issue, but a relationship promise. Work out your own salvation.With fear and trembling. for it is God who works in you, both to will and to work for his good pleasure. Philippians 2:12-13 I totally agree! Everything else, no matter how interesting it seems, is all mingled with Salvation based on works. This whole idea that Salvation isn't instant, has roots into the very law of God that Jesus fulfilled. The true Christian will 'feel' the tremendous regret and utter loathing for their sin, and desire to be free from it, but that is still all 'self'. True Salvation is complete DEPENDABILITY on Jesus'act on the cross and his resurrection through FAITH, and NOTHING on our own works of prolong repentance or 'good deeds', nothing I tell you. And Yes, it is instant! Anything else would be a doctrine of devils! Like was Paul said, it doesn't give us an excuse to sin, nope, God forbid! The reason people feel like they need to have prolong repentance, is because their own feelings of not being worthy. The trutb is, we will never, never, ever be worthy. Nothing we can do, and a lifetime of doing it, can get us there to be worthy. Never in our own self. That's why it takes FAITH in Jesus Christ. Not FAITH in our own works of repentance. Don't over-complicate repentance. It is simple as a change of heart and mind. The 'fruits' of true repentance is what we show God and the world out actions after we repent. Not something we do to earn anything! Some people, because of their own guilt, muck up the simplicity of all this! They feel like they have to earn it. Actually, they are trying to forgive themselves. With a memory of constant good deeds to counter their own sin. God TOTALLY forgives! Also, God (unlike us) TOTALLY forgets. We need to learn to trust in Him. Brothers and sisters, have faith. Edited September 7, 2022 by Walty 1 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, we die to self so we can live for Christ.

Yes, God totally forgive but that doesnt mean you have become holy until you pass the finish line and receive the crown of life. @kwikphilly 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hartono said: Yes, God totally forgive but that doesnt mean you have become holy until you pass the finish line and receive the crown of life. @kwikphilly I don't agree with the statement in this post.. Scripture says that we are a Holy Nation, we are the Royal Priesthood...the name say it all, that we are Holy...not every believer, not the unrepented who have pollute themselves with sins. But even them because they are in the faith of Jesus Christ at the time of their death, what pollution they had while living and what unforgiven sins they had at the time of their death, they will not follow them in Heaven. In Jesus Christ sins cannot give death...they are under the Life giving blood of the Lamb... The Judgment it is according to the faith in Jesus Christ or according to the denial of having be given the chance to believe in Jesus Christ and having declined and died in the unbelief that Jesus is the Son of God who died for the forgiveness of his sins, and the sins of the whole world. We are a Holy Nation, a Nation of Royal Priesthood...we have the forgiveness of sins in Jesus Christ and we are repented, and live a repented life... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romans 8:16-17 The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are Gods children. Now if we are children, then we are heirs- heirs of God and co- heirs with Christ ,if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory. All of Kwik posts are correct, imo/ belief,🙏 Thank you Sister but of course I am only stating what Gods Word Says.......To God be the Glory forever & ever & ever!!!!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
