What happens when a believer sins knowingly?

Answered in 1 source

When believers sin knowingly, they are brought to see their sin, seek a mediator, and are pointed to Christ.

According to 1 Samuel 12:19-20, once a believer recognizes their sin, they are compelled to seek intercession with the Lord. This process involves a deep understanding of their transgressions and acknowledgment of the severity of sin. Believers are reminded that sin creates a barrier between them and God, leading them to cry out for a mediator, much like the Israelites did when they asked Samuel to pray for them. In this context, believers are reassured that Christ, our High Priest, stands between them and the Father. This assurance not only points to the need for repentance but emphasizes the sufficiency of Christ's atoning work, which covers all sins for those who are His. Thus, the believer's journey includes recognition of their sinfulness, seeking divine mediation, and ultimately resting in the grace provided through Jesus Christ.
