Rebound Revisited The Apostle Paul, above all men, completely understood the importance of rebound, naming sins privately to God the Father. When rebound is neglected, carnality is perpetuated and the spiritual life self-destructs. Without rebound the filling of the Holy Spirit is grieved and quenched, the Christian way of life disintegrates.

Rebound reveals the majestic grace of God. Rebound is never work on the part of the believer. God does all the work. God requires no emotional purging, agonizing, godly sorrow, penance, or faith. Recovery from sin and regaining fellowship with God result only when the believer follows the gracious mandate of 1 John 1:9.

The unbeliever has but one divine solution for spiritual death—faith in Christ. The believer has but one divine solution for personal sins—rebound. Can we not conclude since it is faith alone in Christ alone for salvation, it is also faith alone for rebound? This may be an intriguing parallel but it is not God’s stated solution.

Rebound Revisited explores the divine directive for dealing with personal sin and gaining momentum in the spiritual life. No more important study for the Christian life can be found.
