Bible Question: Jesus WILL save HIS PEOPLE from their sins . . . are we saved from sin or its penalty are they one and the same? |
Bible Answer: Greetings Mommapbs! Jesus died for all of the sins that we have committed and will commit. When we ask for forgiveness of those sins, it is then (when we receive forgiveness) that we are exempt from the judgment of our sin, although the penalty for our sin may live on because of the circumstances that have been affected due to the sin. The "penalty" may continue due to the circumstances that have evolved because of our sin. But the consequences in regards to 'judgment' are taken away because the sin itself is forgotten when we receive forgiveness from the Lord and whomever we have wronged. Blessings to you, Makarios |
