Having an ongoing relationship with God as believers who are still afflicted by our sinfulness takes more than talking about it. It requires walking responsively to God’s light, letting it guide our decisions. It also requires us to say the same thing about our sin that God does. Finally, we have to see sin as seriously as God does. Doing so allows us to have ongoing fellowship with God, overcomes our sinful nature, provides forgiveness of sins, and cleansing from all unrighteousness.
