Which is his mercy but that does not mean you are still righteous in his eyes. If you sin.... the law convicts you of the sin at that point.
Jas 2:9 But if you show prejudice, you are committing sin and are convicted by the law as violators.
If you do not come to peace/repent he can remove his life in it. Which is a state of depravity of his Spirit/light to draw you to repentance. Rev 2 Ephesus church. Which is sometimes some would consider turned over to reprobate mind and God considers you dead/no more and without light.
Grace is how power and it relates clearly to the Spirit. |
Violation/breach of a contract does not automatically void the contract.
The terms of the contract state the remedies of the offended party, what they may do, not what they have to.
A man can choose to stay in covenant with a wife who has broken her vows.
The point is it divorce is not automatic.
If she should die before repentance, and the husband had chosen to give her more time, she would die married and in covenant regardless.
