All, a few or none, is it done or not for us to be new in belief to he is risen or not?
Just asking, I believe it is finished John 19:30, then in the risen Son one gets this and a new life to lead them in Spirit and Truth John 4:23-24 as Father leads in one's being willing, not ever forced to believe by God anyway is my experience
“for all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: 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 3:23-25
“And for this cause
he is the mediator of the new testament, that
by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might
receive the promise of eternal inheritance.”
Hebrews 9:15
he died for any sin tbat we come to repentance and turn from
“If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth:
but if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.
If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.”
1 John 1:6-10 KJV
“If we do this … then he will do this “Jesus death doesn’t change this part it makes it possible
“The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but
is longsuffering to us-ward,
not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.”
2 Peter 3:9
his death works hand in hand with repentance and remission of sins
“and said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it
behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day: and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.”
Luke 24:46-47 KJV
if someone robs your house and you forgive them then every time you leave they rob you again and then feel as if they are already forgiven for any of the future times they are going to rob you
thats different than if someone robs you , and then they come and confess what they did because it’s wearing on them a weight too heavy and you then forgive them they aren’t going to them exploit your mercy and continue to robe you tbey came to repentance because it grieves thoer heart that they did this evil to you
Repentance is essential because of this that isn’t covered by his sacrifice
“For
if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins, but a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries. He that despised Moses' law died without mercy under two or three witnesses: of
how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?”
Hebrews 10:26-29 KJV
Repentance = remission of sins in Christs name when we refuse to acknolwedge our sins we can’t repent
