RE: Sins

March 19, 2015 at 11:20 am

As for 'accepting' Christ, wouldn't a measure of the sincerity of that acceptance be manifest in eschewing sin(s) ?

For example, if Willy Sutton (always handy to cite ol' Willy) in the midst of a bank robbery suddenly saw the light, I'd think he would immediately stop robbing the bank, and maybe even start distributing the boodle to the poorer looking tellers and customers present. I don't think an authentic conversion during an actual bank robbery would be evident later, and I also suspect an actual sincere conversion would be apparent by a total lack of subsequent bank robberies.

Thinking

The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
