In rebuking abiding sin in Christians, do the apostles argue like “you need to prove you are right with God and do better” or do they remind the Christian of who they really are in union with Christ?

@DanielRCoats The latter! 2 Pet 1 says “make every effort” to fulfill a daunting to-do list of righteous qualities (knowledge, self-control, etc). But then: “For whoever lacks these qualities is so nearsighted that he is blind, having forgotten that he was cleansed from his former sins.”🙏🏻
