Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. (Philippians 4:8)
STATEMENT 1
This statement reflects the heart of the loving Son of God. He eternally declares forgiveness to as many as looks unto him on the cross, where His blood was shed. For without the shedding of blood there can be no forgiveness.
It is only through the power of the cross that a man can have all sins washed away. The death on the cross proclaims forgiveness in Christ for Past, Present and Future sins.
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness(1 John 1:9)
Through the cross and the powerful statement of Christ on forgiveness, Jesus has become our advocate. No matter what sin we have committed, there is room for forgiveness if we genuinely confess our sins to the throne of grace.
1 My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous: 2 And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world (1 John 2:1-2)
Therefore, it is important we take God by His word about forgiveness, when we genuinely confess and repent of our sins. We should not allow the devil and our mind to deceive us into thinking that we have not been forgiven. FORGIVENESS IS NOT RECEIVED BY FEELING FORGIVEN, IT IS RECEIVED BY FAITH. Indeed when the Lord forgives he completely forgets about it. Not believing and receiving forgiveness is in itself UNBELIEF
This however does not give room for willful sins.
26 For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins, 27 But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries (Hebrews 10:26-27)
Indeed he that is born of God does not continue to sin. The practice of sin is therefore not our portion, for it is written:
“But when people keep on sinning, it shows that they belong to the devil, who has been sinning since the beginning. But the Son of God came to destroy the works of the devil. Those who have been born into God’s family do not make a practice of sinning, because God’s life is in them. So they can’t keep on sinning, because they are children of God” (1 John 3:8-10, NLT).
Let us therefore walk in the Light of Christ forgiveness. So just us Christ has forgiven us, let us also learn to forgive one another, no matter the sin or offense against us. Forgiveness means ‘IT HAS NOT HAPPENED’
The Fall Of Man.
At the Garden of Eden were two trees: The tree of the knowledge of good and evil and the Tree of Life.
What caused the fall was that man ate the fruit, which hanged on tree of the knowledge of good and evil. This was the tree that man was barred from eating. Eating of the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil produced death in man according to the scriptures. So man’s pain and death all began with the eating of the fruit, which hanged on the tree.
The result of the fall is as follows:
The Hope For Man
However, when the fullness of time had come, life anew also began with the eating of the fruit of life, which hanged on the tree (the cross).
So when any man eats of the Fruit of Life, in Christ Jesus, he or she would be assured of life eternal.
The sure way according to the scriptures is to believe on Him who hanged on the tree, even the son of God, our Lord and savior Jesus Christ.
