1 | What would prompt these tears? | Rev 7:17 | Mommapbs | 121119 | ||
Searcher - what MIGHT cause us to be sad in Heaven? Could it be the remembrance of our sin nature? Although I KNOW that I have been forgiven and God has removed my sin as far as the East is from the West and I know He remembers my sin no more, but I do; this memory indeed makes me sad. I'm wondering, will we remember the sins of this earthly existence in Heaven? mommapbs |

The Bible doesn't say if we will remember our sins ... if we do we should rejoice that we asked for and received forgiveness (1 John 1:9) | ||||||

"so what of those sins that we neglected to ask forgiveness for?" Hi, mommapbs! So you are saying that we will inherit eternal life in a sinful state? If not, are you saying that we do not need to ask God's forgiveness because all sins (not the unforgivable sin) are automatically forgiven in Christ?--if so, then why was John and Jesus preaching for Israel's repentence? God Bless! Angel |

Angel, when I received Christ as my Savior, I recieved God's complete forgiveness for my sin. I was declared not guilty and the righteousness of Christ was imputed to me. Since I bear His righteousness I will stand justified before God. "Just as if I had never sinned." We are new creations IN CHRIST - The BIble is very clear that sin will not be present in heaven. Rev 21:27 Because of this, I believe that we can be sure that when we get to heaven, God will complete His work in us and restore (He will make all thing new, not all new things Rev 21:5) us to how He has intended from the foundation of the world. Forgiveness, redemption, justification, regeneration, sanctification and restoration are all works that God does for those who put their faith in Him. (Heb 11:6) Our participation in the process is something that God invites us into,(For as many as received Him . . .John 1: 12) yet it is all HIS work. Those who accept Him reap the benefits of His work, those who reject Him do not. BradK writes:"Colossians 2:13 provides ample reply: "When you were dead in your transgressions and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He made you alive together with Him, having forgiven us all our transgressions," (see also, Col.3:13, Eph. 4:32) As to Romans 6:1, most certainly verse 2 is the reply, "May it never be! How shall we who died to sin still live in it?" Reading the entire context of the chapter provides us as believers the understanding of us being united with Him in His death, burial, and resurrection. Note verses 10 and 11: "For the death that He died, He died to sin once for all; but the life that He lives, He lives to God. Even so consider yourselves to be dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus." Contrary to what you are proposing ( and I think I do understand), the biblical teaching is that Christ has paid the complete penalty for our sin. If we must do anything further, i.e. repent, then I do not see that His payment was sufficient! Note Hebrews 10:12, 18: "but He, having offered one sacrifice for sins for all time, sat down at the right hand of God," "Now where there is forgiveness of these things, there is no longer any offering for sin." The sacrifice of Christ on the cross was wholly sufficient for my sins as well as those of the world. If I have to do anything to further merit His forgiveness, then Christ must go back to the cross of necessity- something that is impossible! Do I not "In Him (we) have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of His grace?" Chose to believe it or not, my sister, But I walk by faith, not sight:-) Angel, please consider these things . . . Blessings, mommapbs PS: See Hank's post also 121118 |

"The sacrifice of Christ on the cross was wholly sufficient for my sins as well as those of the world. If I have to do anything to further merit His forgiveness, then Christ must go back to the cross of necessity- something that is impossible!" Hi, mommapbs! So, if I understand you correctly, you are saying that those in Christ could commit murder or any other transgression and not need to repent because Christ died so that they could be free to do as they please? God Bless! Angel |

Angel: You certainly don't understand Mommapbs correctly! Your 'inference machine' is out of whack and needs repairs. Mommapbs has made many posts to this Forum. To the best of my knowledge and belief she has never advocated cheap grace or said that Christ died so that we would be free to wallow in the mire of our sin and degradation. At the very least you should review Mommapbs' posts and see for yourself what she actually believes and, having done that, admit to your faulty inference. It wouldn't hurt a thing for you to apologize to Mommapbs for your unwholesome innuendo and insinuation. A good rule on this Forum, and in life, is to know what you're talking about before you start talking! --Hank | ||||||

"Searcher - so what of those sins that we neglected to ask forgiveness for?" "Contrary to what you are proposing ( and I think I do understand), the biblical teaching is that Christ has paid the complete penalty for our sin. If we must do anything further, i.e. repent, then I do not see that His payment was sufficient! Note Hebrews 10:12, 18:" Hi, Hank! These are the posts from Mommapbs which I have responded to today. ""The sacrifice of Christ on the cross was wholly sufficient for my sins as well as those of the world. If I have to do anything to further merit His forgiveness, then Christ must go back to the cross of necessity- something that is impossible!" Hi, mommapbs! So, if I understand you correctly, you are saying that those in Christ could commit murder or any other transgression and not need to repent because Christ died so that they could be free to do as they please?" This is my final post to Mommapopbs... I do not see how Christ dying for my sins gives me a license to continue to sin with impunity. My comments were clear. My query sincere. How have I offended you and Mommapbs? Now if you are saying that I should not question any of the posts presented on this forum, then I am beginning to understand your post. "unwholesome innuendo" unwholesome--detrimental to physical, mental or moral well-being innuendo--an oblique allusion There was no assault made on Mommapbs--if that is what you are reading. Perhaps instead of murder I should have used a milder simile. Since I believe that my query was pertinent to the thread's discussion, I ask you the same thing (using a different allegory): Can a Christian sin with impunity? Say a person comes to your congregation and 20 years later after serving the Lord faithfully he/she has access to the petty cash account and, without seeking his/her superior's/elder's authorization, withdraws x amount of money for personal use. The money is never reported stolen(so there's no accountability to man)... this person never replaces the money that he/she stole, and he/she eventually dies. Would there be nothing for God to do but accept that that person sinned and relished on the fact that he/she had impunity? God Bless! Angel |
