Here is an article you will find interesting: Jesus' Sacrifice Does Not Save Sinners-NT Evidence and Daily Practice by Dan Allen Why does Jesus’ Sacrifice fail to save sinners? Why does Paul’s declaration of "...redemption through Jesus’ blood, even the forgiveness of sins," 1 not work in the New Testament or in actual practice? Why does John’s symbolic, metaphorical, and savage language of eating "the flesh" and drinking the" blood of Christ" 2 not actually save the believer?
