Dearest Daughter,
You asked me today, “now that I’m saved does that mean I can’t sin anymore?”
And I answered you in the best way I knew. The truth.
“That’s not possible, baby.” I said.
I went on to explain, and you seemed to truly understand, but I know I didn’t tell you everything. There’s just so much to say, and much of it you will learn as you go. Like most of us.
Many folks, just like you, think that once they’ve asked Jesus into their heart that they’re supposed to be perfect. There’s a misconception that some miraculous change immediately takes place in your life, but that’s not how God works. The only perfect person who ever lived, and who will ever be was the one who died for your sins. The rest of us take a bit of refining. Or actually, a lot of refining.
