I am a man but I am not condemned or described or trapped by my manhood - what defines me is my God.
We get this idea that we can go back and forth on if we are or are not saved based on what we do - but we must remember that our salvation in not based on what we do but rather on what Jesus did.
We don’t' get a divorce every time we argue or fight, we do repent and change our action and move forward - that is if our marriages are to move forward . . .
Proverbs 28:14
13 He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy. KJV
Isaiah 55:6-7
6 Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near:
7 Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon. KJV
Not sin but a lack of repentance
1 Samuel 16:14
14 But the Spirit of the LORD departed from Saul,
KJV
Romans 1:28-32
28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,
30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
31 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:
32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.
KJV
Our sins separate us from God - our lack of repentance closes the door of separation
