What about our sins when we stand before God?
THANKS for your questions and comments. They help me. Here is the answer to one important question from one of you. What about our sins when we stand before God?
Our sins are remembered no more but our works are rewarded forever. The bottom line is, did the Lord Jesus suffer and die for ALL of our sins, pay the debt in full or didn't He? More on this later.
"FOR I WILL BE MERCIFUL TO THEIR INIQUITIES, AND I WILL REMEMBER THEIR SINS NO MORE" Heb 8:12. Why? "The blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin" 1 John 1:7.
"He has not dealt with us according to our sins,Nor rewarded us according to our iniquities. For as high as the heavens are above the earth, So great is His lovingkindness toward those who fear Him. As far as the east is from the west, So far has He removed our transgressions from us" Psa. 103:10-12.
"Lo, for my own welfare I had great bitterness; It is You who has kept my soul from the pit of nothingness, For You have cast all my sins behind Your back " Isa. 38:17.
"I have wiped out your transgressions like a thick cloud and your sins like a heavy mist Return to Me, for I have redeemed you " Isa. 44:22.
"You will cast all their sins into the depths of the sea" Mich 7:19.
God chastens His sons here
"But if we judged ourselves rightly, we would not be judged" 1 Cor. 11:31. "Therefore there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus" Rom. 8:1.
How does He chasten?
"For this reason many among you are weak and sick, and a number sleep (many are in heaven who ought not to be there YET)" 1 Cor 11:30. "'Your iniquities have turned these away, and your sins have withheld good from you" Jer. 5:25. Think what some are missing today
Your prayers are hindered. 1 Peter 3:7.
The Judgment seat of Christ will determine our rewards according to our works for Christ. Don't miss this.
Prayer: Father, thank You for saving us and then for letting us be stewards of your gifts so we can lay up treasures for eternity. In Jesus name
And I love you, all because the Lord Jesus suffered and died for our sins, paid our debt in full and rose again so we can be forgiven and go to heaven, sumner. Do you believe in that alone for your salvation? Believe and pray to receive Him as your Savior right now. "He that has the Son, has life"
