1 | Help with Romans 3:25b | Rom 3:25 | jlhetrick | 152672 | ||
Can someone help me understand the meaning of Romans 3:25 where Paul talks about God, "in His forbearance" leaving the sins committed beforehand unpunished? I know that "beforehand" is referring to the time before Jesus actually died and rose again. What does Paul mean that those sins were left unpunished? Is it that those sinners who offered sacrifices had their sins forgiven on a "temporary" basis (as they looked foreword in faith to Christ's coming (even though they didn't know His name and the details)? Then, the atonement for all sin (past, present, future) through Jesus Christ made the confessed sin beforehand permanently and actually atoned for? Is this accurate and/or is there more to it? | ||||||

Dear Jlhetrick, The verse you are asking about is, "Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;" (Romans 3:25) In order to properly understand this verse, you need to understand it in context. The sins that are mentioned are those committed by the Old Testament saints. The atonement of Christ covers the sins of the elect past, present, and future. Based on how you asked your question, I think you've got it down correctly. Nevertheless, I hope my answer is helpful. In Him, Doc |
