"Forgiven but Imperfect: Understanding Sin, Forgiveness, and Identity in Christ"

Theological Implications:
Forgiven Yet Imperfect: Forgiveness means being justified and free from sin’s eternal penalty, but sanctification is a lifelong process where believers strive to overcome sin’s presence in their lives.
New Identity: Christians are no longer identified as sinners but as forgiven, redeemed, and beloved children of God, even as they acknowledge their ongoing need for God’s grace.
