I do find it interesting that just about everyone who believes in OSAS (even here on TJ) also are the same ones
who argue we can never be sinless or perfect.
Is sin meaningless after you get saved? They say you "shouldn't" sin. But there are no consequences if you "do" sin.
"After all you can't lose your salvation"
If I can't lose my salvation, why is sin even relevant?
OSAS is true BAC, I pray for the day you grasp that :wink:.
Sin is still relevant because no person can claim OSAS from their perspective. OSAS can only be grasped by God. He is able to search the depths of hearts and minds Jer 17:9-11. He cast the devil out for eternity. He can graft us in for eternity. He does not make mistakes. Any non - OSAS belief has to assume God can make a mistake of grafting a devil into His family.
Many assume they are saved. Anyone who believes in OSAS yet continues in a mortal sin is not saved and was never saved. It is like espousing someone who just took a bullet for you is now also capable of repeatedly raping your wife. It does not add up. They must have taken that bullet by mistake.
So, many OSAS believers remain aware for their sins I would say for two reasons. 1. Ensure their hearts ''HATE'' sin Rom 7:15. They are quick to repent. This is evidence of a new heart. 2. We know that God hates sin. So, if we claim to love Him, we will be aware of those things that upset Him. Hating sin / what is wicked is evidence of genuine love for God Rom 12:9. IE Hating sin is part of a love relationship with God.
