The BIG Picture (Shorts)

If you have heard and responded in faith to the grace gospel, the penalty of your "sin" (not "sins") has been completely removed. By believing in the grace gospel, you are saved for eternity and your sin have been nailed to the cross of Christ. The Bible states that the penalty of sin is death, but because you have placed your faith in Christ, you are forgiven, the penalty is removed, and you are acquitted spiritually unto eternal life. While God's salvation has resolved the issue of "sin" that separates people from God, the "sins" of individuals still exist, still have consequences, and must still be dealt with. These consequences are not God's punishment or judgment, as those were emptied out upon Christ, but are the natural sowing and reaping results of past actions and abuse. These consequences affect one's circumstances and people around them, and it's these that individuals feel they are paying the price for currently. _____...

Many do not. However, let me take the opportunity to rectify this. There is nothing wrong in asking for forgiveness if you know you have fallen into sin or had a moment of weakness. It is completely natural to want to apologize for your wrongdoings, but, realize that this NEVER affects your positional stance with God. Through a faith response to the grace gospel of Jesus Christ, you are once and forever cleansed from sin. As grace believers, our sins have been nailed to the cross of Christ, and we have, by the grace of God, received in its place, the imputed righteousness of Christ. Nothing can change our position in Christ and before the Father, so asking forgiveness, or not asking forgiveness, does not change or affect our standing before God. The grace believer's salvation is forever secure and they are "sealed with the Spirit unto the day of salvation." (Rom 5:1-2, 8:29-39, 6-8; Eph 1:13-14, 4:30; Phil 1:6; 2Tim 1:12). ______________ Join my WhatsApp channel to receiv...
