my view is if one has already been given eternal Life, then sin and repentance are an issue of Fellowship, not Salvation
David's sins effected his fellowship with his fellow Israelites and with his God within that covenant, but
he was already expecting a place with God forever
God prophetically said He would provide the necessary Blood
but like in Egypt
one must believe and trust what God said, and it must be Applied to get the promised benefit
first thanks for the reply, but "BROKEN" Fellowship is not broken "Relationship", which NEVER CHANGE. being "BORN" of God, or again, NOTHING can break that Relationship, as in Nature, when a woman give birth to a child. that child can go anti social and kill, but that will not change that Relationship of Parent and Child, but it can have the effect of BROKEN Fellowship in it's enjoyment. this is what happen to Man and God, BROKEN FELLOWSHIP, but God himself came in flesh and re-establish the "FELLOWSHIP" between God and Man.
so no, "Broken Fellowship", it can be mended, ... but that "Relationship" is entact, (if Born of God). 1 John 1:7 "But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light,
we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin." BINGO, that the fellowship. but we all are in Relationship with one another in Christ Jesus. so if we sin, LISTEN, 1 John 1:8 "If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us."
1 John 1:9 "
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."
1 John 1:10 "If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us."
so sin cannot break our "Relationship" with God, not even our fellowship one with another in God, Micah 6:8 "He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the LORD require of thee, but to
do justly, and to
love mercy, and
to walk humbly with thy God?"
if we sin, we have an advocate. 1 John 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:"
and note: God do not have any babe babe kids running around, he correct us, Hebrews 12:6 "For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth." Hebrews 12:7 "If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not?" Hebrews 12:8 "But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons." Hebrews 12:9 "Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live?"
so God will not let... his kids stay in sin. he correct us.
Hope this helps.
