威敏斯特信仰告白 十一章五.
上帝继续赦免已经称义之人的罪(太 6:12;约壹1:7,9;2:1,2)。虽然他们永不会从称义的地位堕落(路22:32;约10:28;来10:14),但他们可能因犯罪而遭受上帝如父一般的不悦,致使祂的脸不再光照他们,直到他们谦卑自己,承认罪行,恳求饶恕,更新他们的信心和悔改(诗89:31-33;51:7-12;32:5;太26:75;林前11:30,32;路1:20)。
WCF XI. V.
God does continue to forgive the sins of those that are justified; and although they can never fall from the state of justification, yet they may, by their sins, fall under God’s fatherly displeasure, and not have the light of His countenance restored unto them, until they humble themselves, confess their sins, beg pardon, and renew their faith and repentance.
