Christian, I temporarily backslid and went back to sin and messed up, now what? God, Dont say you need to be saved again, or make up for your sins--making up for lost time, repent and move on. (I John 2:1-2) My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate (plead our case, our sin debt) with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous: 2And he is the propitiation (to appease, make peace) for our sins (missing the mark): and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world. Yes, you sin you need to repent. Unlike some false teaching saying you do not need to repent. All your sins are forgiven in the future. Thats a lie, as we see here. After you repent God does not want to hear about it again. This is doubting His forgiveness and Christ work on the cross. Other people may bring it up, and their in for a world of hurt. That is condemnation-judging: (Matthew 18:32-34) Then his lord, after that he had called him, said unto him, O thou wicked servant, I forgave thee all that debt, because thou desiredst me: 33Shouldest not thou also have had compassion on thy fellowservant, even as I had pity on thee? 34And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors, till he should pay all that was due unto him. (What does this mean? Their going to be sent to satan and his evil spirits/messengers, approved by God. This is an actual favor by God, reaching out in every way so a person repents. Christ paid the debt free on the cross for you. Who are we not to forgive another? Seeing as how they repented)? (Hebrews 6:4-6) For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Spirit, 5And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come, 6If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame. (In other words dont say you need to repent unto salvation/be saved again. Its an impossibility because Christ did not fail being sinless. Obviously, saying you need to be saved again is saying Christ failed, putting Christ to shame). Kind of like getting an A+ on a test, but they give an F, and recording it in the grade book. Who would be happy with that? Just like we would want the grade correct and updated. So, it is, just repent and move and your in the Book of Life
