I like the questions Just Me asked and I am hoping bishop and others will chime in. I know I have received my Calling and Election Made Sure. But even still I sin and feel like repenting. Even if I know repentance doesn't quite work the same way. I still feel like I owe it to the Lord to say I am sorry. And I even at times feel like asking for forgiveness even though I know I have already been forgiven. But even more importantly it seems like some of you are saying once you experienced the change you never sin anymore. If that is the case than I am far worse off than I thought. And that makes me question everything. Maybe Im just not the same caliber of person but I sin all the time still. Either when I momentarily lose patience with one of my kids or go through a weak spell where I watch useless tv shows or movies I normally have no desire to watch. There are always ups and downs for me. It's not like that for anyone else here? To say someone doesn't ever sin seems to imply that person has reached perfection? Can someone help me understand this better?
