As Christians grow and mature in the faith, sin has less and less of a hold on us. The hallmark of a true Christian is the decreasing presence of sin in his life.

We still struggle with sin, but by the power of the Holy Spirit who lives in us, we are able to resist and overcome sin. The ChristianвЂ™s response to sin is to hate it, repent of it, and forsake it. The 1 Corinthians passage lists sins that, if indulged in continuously, identify a person as not being redeemed by Christ. But the Bible gives no support for the idea that a person who perpetually and unrepentantly engages in sin can indeed be a Christian. A true Christian will always repent, will always eventually return to God, and will always resume the struggle against sin. What differentiates a ChristianвЂ™s life from that of a non-Christian is the struggle against sin and the ability to overcome it. This does not mean that anybody who has ever committed one of these sins will be denied entrance to heaven. вЂњDo you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God' (1 Corinthians 6:9-11).Д«y saying the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God, Paul is stating that the wicked are not children of God, nor are they heirs of eternal life (Romans 8:17). The first mention of not inheriting the kingdom of God is found in PaulвЂ™s first letter to the church at Corinth.
