SIN AFTER SALVATION
Do you ever find yourself – like Paul – struggling with the same sin over and over again? That can be extremely discouraging, especially if it leads you to doubt your own salvation and to question your relationship with God.
This is a subject on which Christians don’t always agree. It involves controversial theological subjects like “eternal security” and the doctrine of election or predestination. It raises questions about the pros and cons of Calvinism and Arminianism. It touches upon the mysterious relationship between God’s sovereignty and human free will.
If you’re floundering in this area of theological understanding, it would be a good idea to get some help from a mature fellow believer, preferably a pastor, church elder, or qualified Christian counselor.
As far as the more practical problem of sexual sin goes, the roots of this issue run deep, and you may not be able to gain complete victory over it without psychological or medical treatment. That’s why you need to find someone with whom you can talk openly and honestly about your recurring temptations.
That said, it’s important to conclude this issue from a purely biblical and theological perspective.
Every Christian wrestles with sin every single day of his or her life. None of us is conformed to the image of Christ overnight. Sanctification is a moment-by-moment challenge. It’s a process that will not be complete until we leave this world and see the Lord face to face. In the meantime, our assignment is to trust God and keep on “walking in the Spirit” (Galatians 5:16).

读经计划介绍
Sexual sin is a specific entanglement within the broader problem of sin. So in this study, we’ll answer the question: What is sin? Like a cracked mirror, sin distorts the beauty of God’s image within us. If we downplay the seriousness of that distorted beauty, we minimize the desperateness of the human situation. And if we minimize the desperateness of the human situation, Christ’s death and Resurrection are rendered meaningless.
