Bible Question:
When does God forgive my sins? Some perspectives I've heard on forgiveness: a. Obey God, do good to others, live a moral life, then God signs for our pardon; b. Simply repent, confess, believe, come home to God, then He signs for our pardon; c. At the cross Christ already signed for our pardon with His blood while we were yet unpenitent sinners. He invites us to repent and return to Him not in order to be forgiven (for He already has) but in order to personally experience and benefit from what He has legally accomplished for all people through His death. Does God change from unforgiving to forgiving when we repent? or has He forgiven us even prior to our repentance? Do acts of repentance, confession and faith change God? or do they change us? I usually hear and read about perspectives A and B. But I feel drawn with perspective C. It seems to be in harmony with the spirit of Isaiah 44:22 where it says, "I have swept away your transgressions like a cloud, and your sins like mist; return to me, for I have redeemed you." What are your thoughts? |
Bible Answer: God has not only forgiven us… Rom 8: 29For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the likeness of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers. 30And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified. But also peace in our heart….. Rom 5: 1Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, 2through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And a new birth into a living Hope…. 1 Peter 1: 3Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 4and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade--kept in heaven for you, 5who through faith are shielded by God's power until the coming of the salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time. 6In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials. 7These have come so that your faith--of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire--may be proved genuine and may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed. 8Though you have not seen him, you love him; and even though you do not see him now, you believe in him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy, 9for you are receiving the goal of your faith, the salvation of your souls. philemcc |
