>>No, they don’t.
Yes, they do.
Forgiveness is not permission to live in unrepentant sin.

>>Forgiveness is not permission to live in unrepentant sin.
I never said it was. We have forgiveness as a gift. It is our job to not squander it. The Holy Spirit, our Great Counselor, tells us when we sin and we must repent for that, but not to earn or re-earn salvation. We will never be worthy of the gift we have been given, but we still need to act as if we are a worthy child of the King.
