Salvation begins the moment we receive, by faith, God’s offer of forgiveness through the death and resurrection of His Son, Jesus (Ephesians 2:8–9; John 1:12).
Jesus called it being “born again” (John 3:3). In repenting and giving up our old life, we receive the new life Jesus purchased for us with His blood (2 Corinthians 5:17, 21).
We are washed clean, and God chooses to remember our sins no more (Psalm 103:12).
But we soon notice that our propensity to sin is still part of us.
How can that be, since we are new creatures in Christ?
We still sin because we, though forgiven, are still fallen human beings.
