My wife, in challenging me on my Calvinism, asked me an interesting question.
"If you don't lose your salvation, why do you ask for forgiveness for your sins?"
My response was to the effect of "I don't ask for forgiveness because I fear losing my salvation; I ask forgiveness because I've grieved the God I love."
She didn't register much of a response on this one.
Would you suggest a better, more biblical answer? I'm all ears.
