1 | Am I understanding you clearly | John 3:16 | welldigger | 65290 | ||
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? |

2 | Am I understanding you clearly | John 3:16 | John Reformed | 65353 | ||
Yes Welldigger. It is on the basis of Jesus' shed blood on my behalf that I rely. Not on my perfect obedience to the Ten Commandments and not on good works, baptism on anything else. Christ alone is my salvation. He is my righteousness. He is my King. He is my God. I place no confidence in the flesh and I hope that is true for you as well. Rom 3:20 because by the works of the Law no flesh will be justified in His sight; for through the Law comes the knowledge of sin. There is nothing wrong with desiring to be perfect and to pray for God's grace to walk in a wat that is pleasing to Him. But remember: It is Jesus who is the author and finisher of our faith. He is the Potter and we are the clay. It is God who sanctifies us. We cannot sanctify ourselves apart from His power and grace in our lives. John 15:5 "I am the vine, you are the branches; he who abides in Me and I in him, he bears much fruit, for apart from Me you can do nothing." God Bless, John |

3 | Breaking commandments | John 3:16 | welldigger | 65377 | ||
Please bare with these questions and the scriptures He's putting before you. Please remember to just be honest with yourself and God when answering and reading the scriptures that He brings to your attention. He has to show you, but you can't see what He wants to show you if you are not honest with yourself and Him. Okay, John, the next thing that God asked me was the following: When you break the commandments, do you ever know what the commandments are, and that you are about to break one, but you go ahead and do it anyway? |

Every morning I pray that God will help me be aware of sins that I don't really know that I shouldn't be doing it. He does let me know but every once in a while I do slip up and I immediately ask for forgiveness. | ||||||

You said "every once in a while I do slip up". To be sure I understand you, are you saying that every once in awhile you know what the commandments are, and that you are about to break one, but you go ahead and do it anyway? | ||||||
