It says we are saved once we are born again, and I am. But I have so many sins in my life that I cant rightly say that I am wearing the full armour. Does this mean that, in my faith and love for Christ, rapture is skipping me?

If you are born again, you will go in the Rapture my friend. Just like our salvation whenever we first received it, itтАЩs by GodтАЩs grace through Christ alone ... from beginning to end. Just keep pressing into Jesus and ask God to help give you the assurance you need. 1 John 1:9
Bas, hereтАЩs the good newsтАФ we are all sinners and that includes Jimmy Evans and the other pastors here too. All of us struggle and fall short. As a follower of Jesus Christ every time you sin, seeking forgiveness to the One who gave His life for youтАФ youтАЩre covered by His mercy& grace. You will not miss the rapture. God doesnтАЩt skip his beloved children. The Groom will not skip his precious brideтАФ you. Your salvation covers your multitude of sinsтАж. All of them. ЁЯТЫ
When we are saved it's like we take off our sinners coat and put on a new saved coat. The new saved coat is big. We need to grow into it. Look to the Lord and Jesus, ask Him to help you feel the Holy Spirit that entered you when you were saved. He can help you change the sinful behaviors, and it won't be hard. It will be blessed. It may or may not happen all at once. Remember the Holy Spirit is Christ dwelling in you now. You are definitely saved. You can draw on the Christ in you to help you stop sinful behaviors. I'll be praying for you.
Hi Bas, all of us who are saved, sin on a daily basis, no matter how big or how small. But the important thing is to also repent on a daily basis, or at least on a regular basis. And each day pray to God and make an earnest effort and commit to living each day as godly as you can in any way you can .. it may be showing or speaking kindness to someone; or being helpful; or going without something in order that a friend/family/stranger does not have to go without. In some small way try and be of service to people around you and keep loving Christ with all your heart, mind and spirit .. God will see your beautiful heart. GB
I am fighting with this issue for a long time.
