Pastor of Faith Free Lutheran Church in south Minneapolis. Husband to Esther. Father of five. "I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me," -Gal. 2:20.
One is forgiven by faith in Christ and his promise. But Repentance still seem to be necessary; as is to say, one will suffer the consequences of their sins but by the act of Repentance one is choosing their consequences rather then sin choosing it for them.
