Backsliders and Fornicators

A child of God does not sin. He is a holy person and he lives in the household of God, continuously in the presence of God. Sin separates us from God. The moment we sin we move outside of God’s presence.

Many Christians who were once born again are spiritually dead because they have turned away from God and are living in sin. They are prodigal children. They are out of the Father’s house, in the pig sty.

The prodigal son was dead. When he came back his Father washed and clothed him, gave him a ring on his finger and said: “For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found.” Luke 15:24.

Other Christians are fornicating like Esau who sold his birthright for a single meal. They have fallen from the grace of God. “Lest there be any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau, who for one morsel of meat sold his birthright. For ye know how that afterward, when he would have inherited the blessing, he was rejected: for he found no place of repentance, though he sought it carefully with tears.” Hebrews 12:16,17. ONE SIN CAN TAKE YOU TO HELL.

Christians who sin are either backslidden or fornicating. Nobody who lives in the household of God sins because God does not tolerate sin.

Now is the day of salvation, now is the time to repent of sin and go back to the Father’s house. Repentance means to totally turn away from sin and become totally obedient to Christ and be righteous as He is righteous.

No unholy person or sinner will go into the kingdom of heaven. With God there is only one way: utter holiness, sanctification without which nobody shall see God.
