Day 359. Question 361. Does God’s forgiveness excuse you from personal obedience?

Today is day 359 and we are studying the section on Justification and Sanctification: Living in Forgiveness and Healing.

361. Does God’s forgiveness excuse you from personal obedience?

No. God has reconciled me to himself and freed me from bondage to sin in order to conform me to the image of his Son. As I live each day in gratitude for God’s forgiveness, I seek to turn from sin and follow Christ in loving obedience. (John 14:15–24; Romans 6:1–14; 2 Corinthians 5:14–15; 1 John 3:4–10)

We will conclude today by praying Proper 24 found on page 621 of the Book of Common Prayer (2019).
