Definition: The word "aguarior" appears in the Bible to mean a person who had not yet been saved or has never sinned but still prays for God's forgiveness, seeking His mercy. It refers to a person who has a heart that seeks God through prayer and faith rather than merely believing in Him. In this context, "aguarior" is often associated with the idea of repentance (also known as "aparouser") or penitence; it suggests that a person's sins are not forgiven but their hearts are changed to seek His mercy. This could imply they have been saved only from a spiritual point of view and therefore remain in purgatory until they confess their sin and turn away from it. The word is found in the New Testament, specifically in the Bible book of Luke, which tells of an aparouser who comes to Jesus with the repentance of his sins. In this account, Jesus forgives him for not knowing about a certain evil that was happening, as he had never sinned and therefore did not deserve forgiveness. In essence, "aguarior" is a person who has a heart that seeks God's grace rather than relying solely on their own good works or the fear of God. This attitude is similar to Jesus' teaching in Matthew 18:20-24 about turning away from sin through faith and seeking forgiveness. The term also appears in other places throughout the Bible, such as John 15:7 where it is used to describe those who have received Christ's message but still reject His teachings; it implies that they are still on a journey of repentance rather than having truly turned their hearts toward Him.
