Bible Question: I would like to know if we are still punishable today for our sins even though Christ died for them? |
Bible Answer: topper Romans 8:1 Therefore there is not no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. Romans 3:28 For we maintain that a man is justified by faith apart from works of the Law. John 3:18 He who believes in Him is not judged; he who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. Your sins are forgiven, your eternal dues for sin have been paid and you will not undergo eternal punishment. Your sins are no longer to be punished. But the effects of your sin to you and others does not get erased; if you kill someone, God forbid, you still go to jail and undergo an earthly punishment and the person you killed is still dead. However, there is the judgment for the believer of the deeds they did, whether good or bad. 2 Corinthians 5:10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may be recompensed for his deeds in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad. 1 Corinthians 3:12, 13, 14, 15 Now if any man builds on the foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw, each man's work will become evident; for the day will show it because it is to be revealed with fire, and the fire itself will test the quality of each man's work. If any man's work which he has built on it remains, he will receive a reward. If any man's work is burned up he will suffer loss; but he himself will be saved, yet so as through fire. According to these verses the believer will undergo a judgment at the "bema seat" of Christ and there the good deeds and the bad deeds done in the body will be either burned up, or rewarded, but the believer will be saved regardless of the outcome. blessins abound, bowler |
