Jesus' death justifies believers and we are forgiven through his name

Isaiah 53:11 King James Version
11 He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities.

As is shown here, Jesus' death for our sins justifies us of all our sin before God. In fact, God laid all of our sins on Jesus himself and his death deals with all of them perfectly in terms of justice, justifying us before God. Our sins are handled in Jesus, he bore our sins and received the penalty for them.

Acts 10:43 King James Version
43 To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins.

This verse requires a bit of understanding, but in a John Piper article I read he said "the name of Jesus goes hand in hand with fame of Jesus", so Jesus' name would be what he is famous for.

Hebrews 9:22 King James Version
22 And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission.

Jesus' death allows for us to be forgiven.

Acts 13:38-39 King James Version
38 Be it known unto you therefore, men and brethren, that through this man is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins:
39 And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses.

God forgives all believers in Jesus Christ.

So as you can see through his death we have justification from sin and through his name (specifically his death for our sins) we have forgiveness of sins.

Acts 10 verse 43 ~ All the prophets testify about Him that everyone who believes in Him receives forgiveness of sins through His name.

Philippians 2 verses 9-11 ~God exalted Him to the highest place and gave Him the name above all names, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Yes, every knee SHOULD bow and all SHOULD believe,
because God provides every sinner the opportunity to do so,
but not everyone does so. Why?
Because God's gift of MFW does not determine how faith is exercised.
A & E were the first to disbelieve God and believe the devil's lie.

Psalm 62 verses 1-2; Acts 4 verse 12; Philippians 2 verse 9 ~ In God alone my soul finds rest; my salvation comes from Him. He alone is my rock and my salvation. Salvation exists in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved. Therefore God exalted Him to the highest place and gave Him the name above all names, 10that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth.

thats what this is about

“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. And ye are witnesses of these things.”
‭‭Luke‬ ‭24:46-48‬ ‭

We hear and believe this part

“For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;”
‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭15:3

and so we act in this faith because we do believe Jesus did that

“Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins,

and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.

For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.”
‭‭Acts‬ ‭2:38-39‬ ‭KJV‬‬

because Jesus died for our sins we can then be baptized in his name for remission of our sins in his death

“Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death? ( for our sins ) Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection: knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin. For he that is dead is freed from sin.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭6:3-7‬ ‭KJV‬‬

No doubt Jesus death is the source of forgivness of sin and his resurrection the source of our justification . The truth of that is what gives baptism for remission in his name the authority to remit sins according to Gods word .

“in whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ: buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead. And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses;”
‭‭Colossians‬ ‭2:11-13‬ ‭KJV‬‬

If we believe Jesus did his part and died for our sins and rose up for our justification , then baptism in his name for remission of sins has its meaning and value to the believer

The real reason to get baptized is because we believe he died for our sins and rose for our justification but it requires us to make a decision to get baptized in his name because we believe
