Hi everyone, welcome back to the site where you hear the gospel truth.
Yesterday I explained how the law was a cause of our sins and why it isn't relevant today.
I know some of you are confused if I just typed heresy, but you have to properly know what the WORD says.
Now, the very first question which I observed was accidentally not uploaded. The question was to this remark that nowadays people (Christians) always ask GOD to forgive their sins. And I said it is scripturally wrong to do that today. So the question was, "why is it wrong to ask GOD to forgive us our sins?" You ask GOD to forgive your sins if: 1. They haven't been paid for or 2. If you still carry the sin spirit (that is, the spirit different from that of GOD).
JESUS was the sacrifice for the whole world (Romans 5:8) who bridged the gap between GOD and man. JESUS Himself said in John 3:16, "for GOD so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life". The Amplified version puts it thus, " for GOD so greatly loved and dearly prized the world that He [even] gave up His only begotten (unique) Son so that whoever believes in (trusts in, clings to, relies on) Him shall not perish (come to destruction, be lost) but have eternal (everlasting) life."
We must understand that the era of confession of sins to GOD so that we won't be rejected by GOD ended after the resurrection of JESUS. WHY? This is because JESUS has reconciled us to GOD. We no longer have the sin nature. And when I mean sin nature, I mean the carnal spirit. It was our spirit that GOD rejected, because that was and is still the origin of our actions. And our actions were contrary to GOD'S because we had a carnal spirit. So, once you have a different Spirit (new Spirit), with time your actions corresponds with your new spirit. So having the Spirit of GOD would imply that with time your contrary actions starts to wear out because you have been grafted into a new tree and a new source of life, and you produce new fruits/actions.
The only issue we have is to accept what JESUS did on the cross. This is so because we are free moral agents, so the choice still lies in our hands. JESUS Himself said in John 3:18 (Amplified) that "he who believes in Him [who clings to, trusts in, relies on Him] is not judged [he who trusts in Him never comes up for judgement; for him there is no damnation]; but he who does not believe (cleave to, rely on, trust in Him) is judged already [he has already received his sentence] because he has not believed in and trusted in the name of the only begotten Son of GOD. [He is condemned for refusing to let his trust rest in Christ's name].
You must understand that it is not your sin that takes you to hell, rather it is your unbelief in JESUS that takes you to hell. Why? This is because you don't carry the sin " virus" any longer, JESUS provided the "vaccine" for the ENTIRE WORLD. What makes you a Christian is when you ACCEPT what JESUS did on the cross.
Romans 10:9 (Amplified) says, "because if you acknowledge and confess with your lips that JESUS is LORD and in your heart believe (adhere to, trust in, and rely on the truth) that GOD raised Him from the dead, you will be saved."
Guys, it is left to you to believe. Just believe that's all. There is no more condemnation if you are in Christ Jesus (Romans 8:1).
Now, why do we still have sinful actions despite accepting JESUS? Shouldn't we confess that sin?
Log in tomorrow morning as this question is answered.
