As Christians, we must recognize that though we belong to God and are forgiven of our sin, our minds are not totally purified in this life. We are called to actively “put to death the misdeeds of the body” (Rom. 8: 13). The Christian life is, as Luther put it, one of “continual repentance,” living in Christ’s forgiveness as we acknowledge our sins.
