covering of grace? Grace is God's power. You lose his cleansing of sin unless you repent of them which is to turn and walk. How can you be forgiven without repentance? GOd cannot cover unrepentant sin. God cannot cover a heart that is at enmity with him and is a enemy of his Spirit. God's grace is his power to overcome should you turn to his call. It is practical not simple forensic righteousness. You have forensic righteousness without practical righeous standing (faith). This is a well known concept that I constantly point to. If you repent you live. To Live is to turn and do LIFE OF THE SPIRIT!
Eze 18:19 Yet say ye, Why? doth not the son bear the iniquity of the father? When the son hath done that which is lawful and right, and hath kept all my statutes, and hath done them, he shall surely live.
Eze 18:20 The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him.
Eze 18:21 But if the wicked will turn from all his sins that he hath committed, and keep all my statutes, and do that which is lawful and right, he shall surely live, he shall not die.
Eze 18:22 All his transgressions that he hath committed, they shall not be mentioned unto him: in his righteousness that he hath done he shall live.
Eze 18:23 Have I any pleasure at all that the wicked should die? saith the Lord GOD: and not that he should return from his ways, and live?
Eze 18:24 But when the righteous turneth away from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, and doeth according to all the abominations that the wicked man doeth, shall he live? All his righteousness that he hath done shall not be mentioned: in his trespass that he hath trespassed, and in his sin that he hath sinned, in them shall he die.
