See my above post on 1 John.
Again, I ask: Have all of our sins been forgiven or not? Are we completely cleansed, or not? Does God remember our sins, or not? Are we completely forgiven now, for forever, or not?
Its not My place to decide who’s forgiven or yours it is Jesus place to decide that the one appointed the eternal
Judge of mankind. And this is his judgement pertaining to forgiveness
“For
if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:
But
if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.”
Matthew 6:14-15 KJV
according to Jesus the lord it depends on whether we believe his gospel
“And
when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.”
Mark 11:25 KJV
the gospel teaches this
“Blessed are
the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.”
Matthew 5:7 KJV
it’s about believing that
“
Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful.
Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven:”
Luke 6:36-37 KJV
That’s where forgiveness is found, the new covenant has words as well as blood. That makes a covenant.
Does this sentence from Paul’s letter
“For
by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves:
it is the gift of God:”
Ephesians 2:8
exclude Paul’s Warning and teaching about repentance in the same letter ?
“Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children;
But
fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints; Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient: but rather giving of thanks.
For
this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.
Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience. Be not ye therefore partakers with them.”
Ephesians 5:1, 3-7
When Jesus does for our sins , it doesn’t erase the word of God it made it eternal
And valid forever so those who are merciful will receive mercy when they do this including you and I
“For
we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.”
2 Corinthians 5:10
want to go there believing what he said because that’s what he will stick to the gospel he sent out into the world for a witness until the end .
we’re supposed to learn from the one who have his life for us , not make his blood separate from his covenant law.
