Summary

Can Christians sin to the point that there is no mercy left? Is it normal for Christians to struggle with sin--even heinous or intentional sins? When Christians sin badly and for a long time, do we fall from God's favor? Is there any comfort for the struggler? Jon and Justin consider all of this and more in today's episode. Semper Reformanda: Jon and Justin discuss the views of different traditions when it comes to apostasy and struggles with sin. Scripture references:2 Corinthians 11:3Romans 7:15ffGalatians 5:17Ephesians 4:27, 6:12ffJames 1:13-15, 4:71 Peter 5:81 John 1:8-2:2, 3:8 Resources:Our primer on assuranceOur episode on "How Much Can a Christian Sin?"
