Which sins could God has forgiven: Past, Present or Future?


Let's investigate this together. Which sins could God has taken away in Christ? What do we tell our converts? That Christ forgave PAST sins? And what do we tell them happens if they sin afterwards? Is this belief from our minds or from the Bible? Let's see it together here: your Bibles

Isaiah 53:6 KJV
All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.

for the transgression of my people was he stricken. *[[Isa 53:8]] KJV*

The best way to understand this is to answer this question: which sin is being referred to here? Which sins did Jesus suffered for?

A. ALREADY COMMITTED SINS
B. YET UNCOMMITTED SINS

What's your answer?

Well it is both the already committed and yet uncommitted sins Jesus was punished for! And these we're not His own sins but our sins.

*[[1Pe 2:24]] KJV* Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.

Maybe this will be softer: which sickness did Jesus took stripes for? past sickness? No! You can see the emphasis of Jesus work is more on the future and not just our past as most preachers were afraid to tell us. They were afraid to tell us if we sin afterwards, we remain forgiven; we remain righteous; we remain JUST: for the just shall live by FAITH and not by SIGHT! They thought telling us this will make us "freed into sin". But oh how they refrained our liberty and by that brought us into bondage again (Gal 2:4).

Beloved, let us look at it this way. Why will Jesus wait till everybody sin before He forgive them? Without being a prophet, I can correctly predict two things about you when you'll be born. First, any man that will be born into this world (in Adam) will be mortal and will be a sinner.

*[[Psa 51:5]] KJV* Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me.

*[[Rom 5:19]] KJV* For as by one man's disobedience many were made SINNERS

You were not going to be born righteous but into SIN. Besides, mine is only a prediction: God knew you perfectly and accurately before you were formed in the womb (Jer 1:5), so if He concludes you will need a remission, then don't argue!

*[[1Jn 1:10]] KJV* If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.

Second, I predict that you will break God's law at least once before you die. Hear! Before you were born there had been disciplined and determined people who have tried to keep the law, they all failed, you won't be an exception, I predict. Unfortunately the blood of bulls and goats are a failure to take away your sins (Hebrews 10:1). So what's the point in Jesus having to wait for you to actually commit the sins before He comes to die for them for you? Will He combine His first and second coming into one? You see why He should die for uncommitted sins?

He died for my sins, it's not my past sins, it's not my present sins: they were all FUTURISTIC then! So as a convert, I appreciate redemption better when I know and believe Christ died for me even before I was born. And why could He have done this? Always remember Jeremiah 1:5
*[[Jer 1:5]] KJV* Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee..

God already knows you will need Forgiveness, so He made it for you. Appreciate redemption!

Your "making heaven" is a function of Christ


Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them.
Hebrews 7:25 KJV
please listen to this: What is the work of a saviour if he cannot save completely? Of what use is a saviour if the people to be saved must have to save themselves?
Picture this scenario: a baby fell from a boat into the sea. Soon the baby began to sink, not knowing how to swim. You being a qualified rescuer rushed to help the helpless baby. Now the boat from which the baby fell of is now at the harbour. You Mr Rescuer picked the baby from the deep waters and placed him on the water surface and tells him, "now you should be able to complete the rest and MAKE IT TO THE HARBOUR, I'm done. Work the rest yourself. I'm off to the harbour. If you afterwards die, it's not my fault as the rescuer, it's you who was helped to start well but fell by the wayside".

You have Good Works to your Account


Not only did God declare you righteous by mere word of mouth, you have righteous works to your credit all by the same faith of Christ Jesus. In as much as righteousness is having done some very good works according to the law qualifying you to stand unchallengeable before the Father, to say you too are righteous is to say you are good enough, holy enough, obedient enough, law-keeping enough before the Father. You are clean enough to not only enter the holies of holies but to PERMANENTLY dwell there! (Hebrews 10:19)

Enjoy The accepted time! Serve the Lord

When we say you're accepted in Christ, it should not be too hard for you to receive. But you know many people will be quick to check the law and point to one thing or another that will not make God to accept them. "You know you have to be holy, but I'm not. You have to be righteous, but I am not. I have not kept the commandments of God. I cannot be accepted". While it is good to live holy and righteous, you're not accepted because of it. Your acceptance is not because you have promised to "be a good boy", but because God decided without any man's advice to declare an "accepted time".
Now what is "accepted time"?

Time to master righteousness


I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your flesh: for as ye have yielded your members servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity; even so now yield your members servants to righteousness unto holiness.
Rom 6:19

All your troublers and hinderers be accursed in Jesus name


This day I pray that all your troublers be cut off in Jesus name.
I pray that all that "hinder" you be accursed in Jesus name.
I pray this day that them that trouble you bear their judgment whosoever they are.
Ahh.. Are you surprised I suddenly turn to prayers on "enemies" today? Did you say "amen" to it?
Well, it's not me praying. It's the apostle Paul who has been praying.

The Holy Spirit doesn't want you to put yourself into "trouble"

Acts 15:19 KJV
Wherefore my sentence is, that we trouble not them, which from among the Gentiles are turned to God:
You see, the Holy Spirit does not want you troubled. He doesn't want you burdened. no! Not in any way. Now what is "trouble"? What is "burden"?
The law is "trouble": to "command to keep the law of Moses" is "burden". It is yoke and a tempting of God to try to do this. Did I singlehandedly promulgate this? No. Scriptures did.
