When christians know well that they are sinners, why they still continue to commit further sins? Are they sure

Jesus is the one and only person who did and will ever die for our sins.  If a Christian chooses to live in sin after becoming born again (a true Christian), then they are not living the way they should.  Just because you become a Christian does not mean you will never sin again.  It means you are to turn your back on sin, do your best not to sin, and live a life that is acceptable to God.  When you do that, you will still have shortcomings...but you know that you don't have to worry about it.  You just ask for forgiveness, turn your back on that sin, and thank God for His grace.

From a biblical standpoint only... fitting since you are asking a moral question... He who sins in the mind, also sins in the Flesh. That is paraphrased, mind you.

there! Spider got the answer, you have to repay for all the sins that you have committed and this repayment of sins can come only if your soul dies, but then the innocent one, Jesus took your place and suffered for your sins, thereby repaying your sins, so when you admit that you are a sinner, you have not done anything, you have to be washed clean, just realising that you are dirty does not help if you don't want to be clean, like that when you admit you are a sinner, you need to be washed clean and your sins can be washed only by the precious blood of the lamb and hence it is essential that you have to believe and trust in Jesus as your saviour once you admit you are a sinner. God bless you!

There are many who go to church who CLAIM to be a Christian but in reality they have no true relationship with God.  They go because they think they are supposed to, because it looks good, because they are trying to score points, for approval ... etc.\n\nBut as I stated in another post... there will be many who will say "Lord, Lord" and the Lord will say "I know you not".\n\nThat all said, we should be striving to remove sin from our lives.  No one is perfect, true.  But when we are doing something wrong, we need to try and remove that from our life.  Some will successfully, some will fail and try again, and some will never be able to do it.  The point is that God sees the desire of your heart.  So if you are true to your intentions and desires, God will know.\n\nNow if you go to church and you know you shouldn't be sinning, you know that you are sinning by doing {insert action here} and you knowingly disregard any attempt to remove that sin from you life, then you have a problem.\n\nGenerally speaking those who are being hypocritical are either not truly a Christian OR they are blinded by sin in their life and we as brothers and sisters in Christ need to call them on their hypocrisy.

Some Christians are actually respectful and secure in their faith.\n\nAs such, they don't see the need to preach to "sinners."  They're just fine with their beliefs and don't need to be obnoxious to others.\n\nGod loves everyone, which means he loves the homosexuals.  If you love everyone, you would choose to let them come to their own decision rather than drive them away by preaching to them.\n\nI've seen the gay category, and I don't see these people that are hurting.  Well, I've seen plenty of jerks go in there.

When people who are sinners are casting stones, so to speak, at Christians, we Christians have to take it with a grain of salt and pray for them.  I once said to my Mother, "I'm trying to live the most Christ-like life I can".  My Mom said, "Yeah, and look what they did to Him"!  They want to continue sinning and live their lives in ignorance of God.  What they say is said out of ignorance and self-will.  God would not want us to make fun of them (or mock them).  We must pray for them.  Tell them, "I will pray for you".  Do not tell them to get a life!  Forgive them of their ignorance.

Sounds like you think that you can purposely go out and sin (knowingly, willingly), repent and all is okay....your are leaving out believing in God...when you believe in God, your sins will be fewer and fewer with each passing day compared to what you were capable of before finding Christ!\nThere is a big difference....don't think for a minute that you can sin on purpose, repent and all is okay....you gotta be trying to live a Christian life along with the repenting!

no if u r a real christian then u would know that being a christian means accepting christ as your lord and savior and trying your best to be christ like and you will be saved as long as u truly repent. If you are a christian, then you shall not go to hell. The Bible teaches us that only those who have not been saved and have not accepted christ as our lord and savior will be doomed to eternal damnation

Hi Justin, This simply means, that if we continue to do a sin God has convicted us about and we repent for, then we continue sinning, believing God's grace will cover us (Romans 6-8) God cannot accept that, habitual sin, it also allows the devil a foothold in our life, we are just mocking God if we continue to live sinning on purpose after accepting Jesus, and the truth God has revealed to us. 2 Peter 1:1-13 (this shows how to stop being sinful.)

I remember asking myself this alot when I was a young girl. I asked this very question once. Someone closer to God answered this for me.\n\nIf you ask your Heavenly Father to forgive you of a sin with all your heart and mean it, he will. \n\nIf you turn around and continue to repeat that very sin, then ask for forgiveness, God looks at this as * What sin is this do you ask me to forgive you for twice?* \n\nIt was forgotten and erased away the first time you asked him. \n\nNow I do believe because we are human, we will continue to make mistakes. Some of those mistakes will probably be what we have already asked for forgiveness for. However, God does understand we are only human. This doesnt pardon you to continue to do the same thing over and over. God knows your heart. Its that simple. When and if you continue to do the same mistake over and over, God knows your heart. He will know and understand your life at that time, what you are faced with and the fact you are trying to make it better.\n\nI dont have the magic answer here. But I do believe that God knows your heart. If you are changing your life, making an effor to be righteous and do the right thing, God knows this about you. We will all falter at one time or another. Just be diligent and keep on.

Those who repent (Turn from all sin and ask God for forgivness) and have faith in Jesus - That He is the son of God and died that our sins may be forgiven.  Those must follow Jesus' teachings and persevere in doing the right thing while abstaing from sin. People must turn from sin not merely confess it while expecting to do it again.  Their must be a change of heart. "The fear of the LORD is to hate evil"(Prov. 8:13)  Where there is no repentance (turning from sin) their is no forgivness.  Where there is no forgivness there is no salvation from "the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness" (Romans 1:18)\n\nAll have sinned and will be condemed and sent to hell if they do not repent and turn from their sin and trust in Jesus for forgivness of their past sins.  If you deny that you have ever sinned you call God a liar and the truth is not in you (1 John 1).  For everyone at least at one point in their life has lied or stolen or been selfish or lusted or done something evil.  That is why we all are required to repent if we wish to be saved.

Many people have besetting sins in their lives that they struggle with for a long time. But the Bible says:\n\nRomans 6:14  For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.\n\nAs a Christian counselor I've tried to help people with this type of issue and sometimes they are successful and sometimes they continue on with their struggle. Basically it seems to me that the ones who don't overcome usually don't see their particular sin as an enemy who needs to be defeated or they don't want to do the work that it takes to overcome in that area of their life.\n\nGod will help us to overcome our enemies but He calls us to join in the battle and to see sin as an enemy. If we call a sin our friend some of the time and invite it into our life He isn't going to give us the victory.

It is very sad indeed that these statements hold so much truth. Just because someone says they are Christian does not mean they are Christ like although that is what the bible teaches us to be. All through out the Word of God we are taught love. I believe because of a few who are ready to condemn or judge others they are defeating the purpose of true Christianity. We are not suppose to turn any away and still there are those that do. Then again the bible says that many will knock but few will enter. I personally apologize to all who have been hurt by someone claiming to have done so for religions sake. The God I serve is a God of love and He loves each and every one of us no matter what our flaws. I'm sure that when He sees someone turning away from Him because of something said or done He is truly heartbroken and disappointed.

According to the Bible, a follower of Christ does not sin and cannot sin:\n\n1 John 5:18  We know that anyone born of God does not continue to sin; the one who was born of God keeps him safe, and the evil one cannot harm him.\n\n1 John 3:9 No one who is born of God will continue to sin, because God's seed remains in him; he cannot go on sinning, because he has been born of God.\n\nRomans 8:8 Those controlled by the sinful nature cannot please God.\n\nSo, if you're sinning, you are not born of God and you cannot please God. A Christian should never, ever sin. I mean, don't they have the Sacred Spook guiding them and telling them what to do? I guess they just don't pay attention, or the Spook is sleeping on the job--or they aren't really born of God.

All people sin because they are sinners.  All people have a moral code yet break it.\n\nChristians have the perfect standard. The Bible.  Since Christians are still sinners, they still sin.  Yes, at times, they even love the sin.\n\nAlthough you may view yourself as sinless, look at your own heart.  It is not pure. \n\nRomans 7:14-15 (NKJV)  \n    For we know that the law is spiritual, but I am carnal, sold under sin. [15] For what I am doing, I do not understand. For what I will to do, that I do not practice; but what I hate, that I do. \n\nMatthew 18:15 (NKJV)  \n    "Moreover if your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault between you and him alone. If he hears you, you have gained your brother. \n\n\nWe desperately need a savior.

Sure when one is living in sin, they will mock anyone who tells them they are wrong. I don't worry about it. They have the same right to choose as I do. God does not want us to judge or condemn. We just need to live right and go forward, many times those that are lost will find their way through the example of someone who touches their life most of the time without knowing it. Each persons individual relationship with God is their responsibility. I think the problem is is that there are alot of people who say one thing and do another. Those that don't believe see that and use that as an example or reason to deny God. What they don't fully realize is that men are mortal and men make mistakes even the best intentioned ones. Again I think that the best way is to teach by example and be patient, Heavenly Father hasn't given up on me or anyone else so we shouldn't either, we never know when we will have the chance to teach or touch someones life for the better.\nThe other thing I will say is that sometimes it's alot easier to be bad than it is to be good. And when there is alot of sin they get burdened down and drug further away from accepting what is true. Repenting of ones sins is scary but Oh how it feels so good when the burden is let go and given over to Christ.

I am a Christian. We are no better than anyone else. We don't proclaim to be self righteous. We are sinners saved by grace. The only difference between us and non-believing is we have accepted the free gift of salvation. God loves you and everyone else as much as he loves Christians. Jesus died for sinners. \nWe admit we are not perfect. We will not be perfect till after we are risen from the dead. Difference is we try to live a Christ like life. In the end we will all be judged for every deed we do and every idle word we speak.
