Forgiveness After Salvation (1 John 1:7-2:2)
1. Things done in secret shall be made known. (2 Samuel 12:1-15; Matthew 12:36; Romans 2:16; 2 Corinthians 5:10)
2. Before repentance & forgiveness takes place, God may have already determined a course of action that you will regret for the rest of your life.
3. Though God forgives you, others may be permanently affected during your time of backsliding.
4. Sin in your life though forgiven, will tend to rob you of courage to confront sin in the life of others.
5. Sinning will allow God’s enemies to blaspheme.
