. But continual rebellion, walking in evil and disobedience will bring judgement. But it seems christians often feel God has changed. .
Under the old covenant Moses said:
Circumcise your hearts, therefore, and do not be stiff-necked any longer Deut 10:16
Under the new covenant:
The Lord your God will circumcise your hearts and the hearts of your descendants, so that you may love him with all your heart and with all your soul, and live Deut30:6
Jesus said to Nicodemus:
Ye MUST be born again. It is not an option it is pivotal.
Being born again is when the Holy Spirit enters your life and writes the law on your mind and places it on your heart God desires you to keep. Everything has changed at that point.
No longer could I sin without conscience once that happened. I could not be like others at my school and laugh and joke as they committed sin without conscience. I could sin yes once I had been born again, but my conscience was seered when I did. I had no rest or peace, for I was going against the law placed on my heart.
If I rebelled if you like for a week, I had no happiness or peace for a week, if a month, no happiness or peace for a month. I was forever changed that day I was born again, I would never be able to happily sin without conscience after that. I would not succeed if I committed wilful sin, I could not be happy, only miserable until I bowed the knee. So I really don't understand why people believe grace can be used as a licence to sin if a person truly has been born again
Jesus will only be your saviour from sin if you have been born again, not for those who haven't. Hence his words to Nicodemus
