I bet it plays a major role into whether a believer keeps believing.
There was once a Harlot that Jesus had forgiven many sins.
She later came to Jesus on her knees, and washed His feet with her tears., using her hair as the rag.
The religious sitting in the same room, who saw it, were disgusted that this WHORE would be touching Jesus's feet.
He told them....>"she is forgiven much"...
What does all that mean?
It means that when you have a real encounter with the Son of God, Jesus The Lord, and He makes you clean, forgives you, and changes your heart........giving you eternal life.....then this that He has done in the heart of a born again person, causes them to WANT to serve Him.
Causes them to WANT to make God Happy.
That is a hell bound sinner, who use to love to fornicate, take drugs, play with Witchcraft, steal, lie, and more....... Whose HEART has been changed by the LOVE OF GOD that is Christ on the Cross.
