1 | You probably have read this scripture | John 3:16 | John Reformed | 65272 | ||
Dear Welldigger, I will not have to pay for my sins because Jesus, my Lord and Saviour, paid for them in full on the cross. I earned death through sin, but recieved eternal life as a gift. For the wages of sin is death; BUT the GIFT of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. (Romans 6:23) John |

John, I think what you said is according to the scriptures, but I want to be sure I understand you clearly. Are you saying that God will forgive you of those sins that you commit because of the sacrifice of Jesus. The following scriptures speak of the forgiveness of sins being dependant on the sacrifice of Jesus. Without that offering/sacrifice of Jesus, there would be no forgiveness possible, because it’s BY that sacrifice that forgiveness is possible. This being because God is a just God and cannot lie. So if He says that the payment for sin is death, the payment must be collected. And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission. (Hebrews 9:22) But, if another person doesn't owe any payment for their own self (i.e. is perfect, without sin, no sin to pay for theirself - Jesus), then God will allow that perfect person to pay the payment for the ungodly person, in the ungodly person's place or stead. By the which will we are sanctified through THE OFFERING OF THE BODY OF JESUS CHRIST once for all. And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins: But this man, AFTER HE HAD OFFERED ONE **SACRIFICE FOR SINS** for ever, sat down on the right hand of God; (Hebrews 10:10-12) Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children BY JESUS CHRIST to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved. In whom WE HAVE **REDEMPTION THROUGH HIS BLOOD, THE FORGIVENESS OF SINS**, ACCORDING TO THE RICHES OF HIS GRACE; (Ephesians 1:5-7) So are you saying that you ask God to forgive you of those sins that you commit, and He grants you that forgiveness for those sins you committed **BECAUSE** the sacrifice of Jesus was the payment for those sins that you committed? That is, that Jesus paid for those sins that you committed, in your stead, so that you wouldn’t have to pay for them yourself, by the death of your soul in hell? |

Scripture ... Eph 1:3-10; Heb 9:16-22, 10:1-18 ... Welldigger, I told you to stop. Now pay attention. You took the following out of context "And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission. (Hebrews 9:22)" ... you missed "And according to the Law", just for this verse. Then READ at the context (vv 16-22). The context for Hebrews 10:10-12 is verses 1-18. READ the CONTEXT. Same for Ephesians 1:5-7 (vv 3-10). You continue to take your citations out of CONTEXT, and fail exegesis. I suggest you stop. Searcher |
