Do Christians ever need to repent?

November 27, 2021

I know we are forgiven, but do Christians ever need to repent? I’ve had suicidal thoughts, but God is reminding me of His love. If Christians are totally forgiven, are we still judged for our sins? What is the purpose of anointing with oil? What’s the difference between old covenant forgiveness and new covenant forgiveness?

Sometimes we get our wires crossed in understanding God’s grace. Maybe we think too much grace means too much sin. Or we might believe grace should be balanced with rules to help us say ‘no’ to sin. In this message, I highlight the difference between following self-improvement and sin reduction methods versus trusting in the empowering, inspiring grace of God to live godly lives. Move past modern-day laws and principles and discover the miracle that happens inside of you when you’re not under the Law!
