Brother,
scripture teaches us that we are no longer condemned
because of the blood of Jesus..Mark 16:16 NIV, John 3:18 NIV, John 5:28-29 NIV, John 8:11 NIV, John 16:11 NIV, Rom 3:6-8 NIV, Rom 5:16 NIV, Rom 8:1-2 NIV, Rom 8:34 ESV, Col 2:13-15 NIV, 2 Thess 2:11-12 NIV, 2 Pet 2:3 NIV, 1 John 3:21 NIV, Jude 1:4-5 NIV

Any continuing unrepented sin is never 'covered' by the blood of Jesus,
How is that so, scripture teaches us that Jesus died for all sins, even future sins...Rom 4:7-8 NIV, Rom 6:10 NIV, Rom 8:38-39 ESV, Col 2:13-15 NIV, Heb 7:23-25 NIV, Heb 7:27 NIV, Heb 9:12 NIV, Heb 9:24-28 NIV, Heb 10:10-12 NIV, 1 Pet 3:18 NIV...What is the "seed" and the "truth" referring to here...
1 Pet 1:23 NIV For you have been born again, not of perishable seed, but of
imperishable, through the living and
enduring word of God.
1 John 3:9 NIV No one who is born of God will continue to sin,
because God's seed remains in them; they cannot go on sinning, because they have been born of God.
2 John 1:2 NIV because of
the truth, which lives in us and will be with us forever:

Just as sin brought death to Adam and Eve and expulsion from the garden, so sin will bring the same to the modern believer...exclusion from paradise and his namr blotted out from the Lamb's book of life.
But doesn't the believer live again...
1 Cor 15:54-57 NIV When the perishable has been clothed with the
imperishable, and the mortal with immortality, then the saying that is written will come true: “Death has been swallowed up in victory.” 55“Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting?” 56The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. 57But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
1 Pet 1:23 NIV For you have been born again, not of perishable seed, but of
imperishable, through the living and enduring word of God.
