1Jn 2:1 My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:
1Jn 2:2 And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.
Of course all sin can be forgiven, and also John said sin not.
If we sin it can be forgiven for the blood of Christ washes it away.
Heb 10:26 For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,
Heb 10:27 But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.
But if we hold unto sin then there is no sacrifice for that sin, for the blood of Christ cannot wash it away, for God will not take away what we hold unto.
And this is an attitude that sin does not affect their relationship with God, so they enjoy sins and think they are right with God, instead of having the right attitude that sin does affect their relationship with God, and they have to depart from sin led by the Spirit.
2Ti 2:19 Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.
But the Lord knows them that are His having this seal, for this is what seals them, and how they are led of the Spirit, that everyone that names the name of Christ depart from iniquity.
Gal 5:16 This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.
Gal 5:17 For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.
Gal 5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
Gal 5:23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
Gal 5:24 And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.
Gal 5:25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.
1Co 10:12 Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.
1Co 10:13 There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.
There is no excuse for not abstaining from sin for the power is there to help us overcome the flesh, and abstain from sin by the Holy Spirit, which if a person hates sin, and does not want sin, by the Spirit they can abstain from sins for they will not fulfill the lusts of the flesh, for they have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts, and show the ways of the Spirit, and not the flesh, and God will not allow them to be tempted above what they are able to handle, and will give them an escape from the temptation so they can bear it.
Repenting of your sins means you are sorry for all past sins, and to turn away from sins and hate sin, and do not want sin.
All sin can be forgiven, but if we hold unto sin then it cannot be forgiven for then we violated repenting that caused us to be saved in the first place, by not hating sin, and wanting sin, which we are supposed to give that sinful lifestyle up.
But some people did not have the right perspective of repenting of their sins when they first confessed Christ.
2Ti 3:4 lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
2Ti 3:5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
2Ti 3:6 For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,
2Ti 3:7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
But there are many people that claim Christ that believe they cannot abstain from sins, and sin daily, and sin does not affect their relationship with God, that enjoy fleshy pleasures, and justify drinking alcohol, and smoking marijuana, and worldliness, loving money and material things for their wants, going above their needs, which Paul said if they preach that God does bless the saints with money and material things for their wants, and not a necessity, withdraw yourselves from them, having food and clothing be content, and loving worldly movies, and television, and music, and taking vacations, and cruises, all the while the poor and needy need help.
Which Paul said he can have all faith as to remove mountains, but if he did not have charity, love in action, then he is nothing.
And James said if they do not have charity then their faith is dead.
And John said if they do not have charity then the love of God does not dwell in them, so do not love in word only, but love in deed and in truth.
Some people say we are not saved by our works when James pointed out caring about the poor and needy, but Paul, James, and John, all say the same thing concerning those works.
And love not the world, or the things in the world, for if anybody loves the world, or the things in the world, the love of the Father is not in them.
These people like to say we cannot abstain from sins, and sin daily, but the Bible says they can abstain from sins by the Spirit, and many hold unto sin, and say sin does not affect their relationship with God, but the Bible says the Lord knows those that are His which is the people that hate sin, and do not want sin, and depart from iniquity.
These people like to believe according to liberty of the flesh, and act like their sins are covered regardless if they hold unto sin or not.
They want to act like all is covered under the blood no matter how they act, and they can enjoy sin and still be right with God.
Which they cannot deny it for they say they cannot abstain from sin, and sin daily, so they testify by their own mouth that they sin and do not cease from sin, but then sin is on their record, and the blood of Christ cannot wash it away, for if they cannot abstain from sin then how can all their sins be forgiven if they can never cease from sins.
Which they are ever learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth that they have to hate sin, and not want sin, and sin does affect their relationship with God.
Mat 12:33 Either make the tree good, and his fruit good; or else make the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by his fruit.
Mat 12:34 O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.
Mat 12:35 A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things.
Mat 15:17 Do not ye yet understand, that whatsoever entereth in at the mouth goeth into the belly, and is cast out into the draught?
Mat 15:18 But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they defile the man.
Mat 15:19 For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies:
Mat 15:20 These are the things which defile a man: but to eat with unwashen hands defileth not a man.
They act as if they are clean inside all the while saying sin does not affect their relationship with God, but Jesus said out of the heart proceeds what really a person is about, so if they sin, or hold unto sin, then that is what is in their heart, then how are they clean inside, and if they say they cannot abstain from sins then how are they clean inside if they are always sinning.
2Pe 2:14 Having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin; beguiling unstable souls: an heart they have exercised with covetous practices; cursed children.
1Jn 3:7 Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.
1Jn 3:8 He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.
1Jn 3:10 In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother.
The Bible says that those that are not right with God cannot cease from sins, which if they say they cannot abstain from sins what does that tell you.
They are fleshy in their interpretation of scriptures.
The world is in trouble for their sins but they can get away with it, which is strange.
Luk 12:47 And that servant, which knew his lord's will, and prepared not himself, neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes.
Luk 12:48 But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more.
If a person confesses Christ, and repents of their sins, it should be a given what that means, and not making excuses for their sins as if they cannot help it, but who twisted their arm to sin.
