Let me start with a clarification of how to even pose the question in language that I think is perhaps more consistent with the way the New Testament speaks than the way Doug set it up. Doug uses the word repent to pose the question that he has. He says, “Does true repentance mean that we never ask God’s forgiveness for the same sin twice? How can ...
What about sins, then, that we commit more than once — indeed, so often that they are threatening to destroy our assurance of being a Christian? Here’s the way I would put it: there are two kinds of confession, and there are two kinds of sin, so test yourself now as to which you are doing. First, there is confession that, at one level, is expressin...
The two kinds of sin that I’m referring to are, first, the kind of sin that blindsides you. It’s not premeditated or planned, and there is scarcely any battle in the moment when it happens. Before you realize what you’re doing, it’s done. In my own experience, I would illustrate with certain kinds of sinful anger that come over me, and almost insta...
Now, I think it’s possible for a Christian to commit both kinds of sins and get into patterns of both kinds of confession for a season. But I would say that the confession that cloaks fatalism, hopelessness, peace with sin, and the sin that is premeditated are more dangerous to our souls. Both are dangerous. Don’t get me wrong; both are dangerous. ...
The book in the New Testament — interestingly enough, paradoxically enough — that is perhaps the hardest on Christians sinning is the same book that warns most explicitly about the dangers of perfectionism. Let me close by reading that paradoxical section from 1 John 1:8–10. This is the way the Bible chooses to talk about this paradox. That’s the w...

Dec 12, 2023 · This is the “willfully sinning” that Hebrew 10:26 refers to—consciously and deliberately rejecting Christ. It’s not a sin of ignorance or weakness; it’s a deliberate turning of one’s back on the truth, with full knowledge choosing sin over Christ.
Jun 24, 2020 · We are both able to sin and able not to sin. As saints, we’ve experienced the power of new birth (2 Corinthians 5:17) and tasted “the firstfruits of the Spirit” (Romans 8:23). Yet despite these miraculous realities, we keep on sinning, to our great dismay and shame.
Apr 15, 2024 · According to Scripture, the answer is simple — because they keep choosing to disobey God. Jesus said, “If you love me you will obey my commandments.” We humans are really very smart creatures. We are also very predictable. Our actions show our priorities.
The consequences of choosing to habitually sin include: Loss of intimacy with God, interruption of progress in our spiritual growth, anemia in our prayer life, and. a diminished ability to understand and apply God’s Word (if one is reading their Bible at all).
