The Gospel Of Repentance

It’s important to remember that we’re dealing with two separate issues; our sins judicially and our sins in real time. Jesus Christ is our advocate, our defense attorney, our mediator. His blood sacrifice on the cross satisfied the Father’s holy wrath regarding our sins past, present, and future. Jesus’ suffering and death was a plea to the Father for our vindication and forgiveness. Jesus went to trial on our behalf before the Father and declared us “not guilty ”. The Lord accepted the Son’s sacrifice on our behalf. The devil who’s our accuser and prosecutor head was bruised (Genesis 3:15). This the bible says was done before the foundation of the world, (Ephesians 1:7). This is how our sins were dealt with judicially. This was pre-salvation. Once we believed in what Jesus did, we were saved. We’ll never be punished eternally for those sins and go to hell since the Father already punished Christ for them (Isaiah 53:1-5).

It should raise the question if that person is actually saved in the first place; My answer is no. This type of thinking smashes against one’s liberty and confidence in God and his word. It also causes anxiety and promotes a joyless experience in Christ.  This type of theology also promotes a spirit of fear which does not come from God (II Timothy 1:7). One can never be sure if at some point God will pull the plug on their salvation and revoke it – nonsense!! It’s an entirely different matter and heresy to beli...

“You did not choose Me , but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain”                                                                                                                                                                                                                                – John 15:16. There is a very clear line between how God and man make choices....
