"Don't Trip On The Stairway 2 Heaven"

Is there such a thing as an unrepentant Christian?

Not according to the Bible, says biblical answers site GotQuestions.org.

"Biblically, to become a Christian, one must repent and believe; a believer in Christ is one who has repented of their unbelief. What, then, of professed believers who live in unrepentant sin? Most likely, they are not saved; they are mere professors, with no work of the Holy Spirit in their hearts."

The apostle John states it bluntly:

"If we claim to have fellowship with Him and yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live out the truth"  (1 John 1:6).

"The other possibility," according to GotQuestions, "is that people claiming to be saved yet living in unrepentant sin are saved, but acting in disobedience--in which case their unrepentance is a temporary hardness of heart, and God's discipline will eventually restore them to fellowship." (see 1 Corinthians 5:1-5 and 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 for examples of sin to be repented of).

"Repentance is a change of mind that results in a change of action. True repentance leads to life (Acts 11:18), and is a necessary part of salvation.

"God commands everyone to repent and have faith in Christ (Acts 2:38; 17:30; 20:21). Unrepentance  is therefore a serious sin with dire consequences. The unrepentant live in a state of disobedience to God, unheeding of His gracious call. The unrepentant remain unsaved until they turn from their sin and embrace Christ's sacrifice on the cross."

A wise man once said: "The tragedy is that, even as some people are experiencing the horrendous consequences of their sin, they will continue in their state of unrepentance." -- GotQuestions.org

"Jesus answered them, "It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance" (Luke 5:31-32).

"Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord" (Acts 3:19).
