Jesus suffered and died for our sins. They were all in the future. He did not die just for some of our sins but for ALL of our sins. All of the sins before we were saved and all the sins we commit after we are saved as well.. He paid the debt in full. If He did not pay for ALL of our sins then we would have to be perfect after we are saved or we go to hell and pay our deft there ourselves. We do not receive the Lord Jesus for our past sins but for ALL of them. That takes care of the penalty of sin. Make sense?
Jesus shed His blood for the pollution of our sins. Before we were saved we were unclean, unfit for heaven. When we receive the Lord Jesus "we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins according to the riches of his grace" Eph 1:7. The blood of Jesus Christ his son, cleanses from all sin" 1 Jn 1:7. One of the first things I have heard from many who just got saved was, "I feel so clean". Aren't you glad the blood of Christ cleanses from ALL sin. The blood of Christ takes care of the pollution of sin.
The multitude of lambs that were slain in the Old Testament all represent "The lamb of God which taketh away the sin of the world" Jn 1:29. The blood on the door posts of the O. T. represented the blood of Christ, the lamb of God. God said "When I see the blood I will pass over you" Ex 12:13. When we receive the Lord Jesus, the Lamb of God, God sees the blood applied to our heart and He passes over us. No wonder God calls it "So great salvation" Heb 2:3. Rejoice in the Lord and His salvation. ABC Sumner
How shall we escape if we neglect so great salivation" Heb 2:3
