He said, “What do you think God is going to do if you just keep confessing your sins again and again?”
I thought (actually muttered in a whisper), “He is going to forgive me and cleanse me.”
(1 John 1:9 NKJV) If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
Duh! It is what God had his spokesman communicate to us in written form in his holy book the Bible.
This is not original with me by any stretch, but if your view of grace does not allow room for abuse, then you do not understand grace.
Of course someone may “take advantage” of this teaching. But are they really? Do we really know what is going on in his or her life?
Do we know what “wash cycle” or “rinse cycle” this person is in his walk with God?
Christ’s death at Calvary provided a sufficient supply of grace and forgiveness to wash the worst of sinners and to keep the process going until perfection happens.
But that is in heaven.
