Cash that is a good and fair question. In the book of Romans it actually talks about this. Many people think because of grace they basically have a ticket to sin. This is not true. There's a diference between forgiveness and repentence. When we ask for forgiveness we are basically just admitting that what we did was wrong ad are apologizing for it. When we repent we do ask for forgiveness but it also involves a change in habit and attitude. So, if I just ask for forgiveness but keep committing the sin and keep coming back for forgiveness there is no change in our heart and attitude etc, but when we truly repent there is the change. It comes from a desire to be more Christlike. I am by no means perfect but I rest in the work God does in my heart.

I hope that made sense. lol I'm on my first cup of coffee. If you want to discuss this further in private we can do so by e-mail if you'd like.
