Not only is there a penalty for sin but there is a pollution of sin"

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

The way to confess your sins

We had a man in one church I pastored who always said at the end of his prayer, "And forgive us of our many, many sins. In Jesus name. Amen. No we must specific. No beating around the bush.

1. We must come with the attitude of the prodigal son. " I have sinned...and no more worthy to be called thy son" Lk 15:18,19. That should be the attitude of every believer when he sins. It must be if you really want the peace and joy of forgiveness. It is amazing how we want to dodge the word "sinned" but that is what it is.

2. "I acknowledge my transgressions" Ps 51:3. Here is David's confession. We must not dodge the issue. Confess the sin, name it to the Lord. He knows but wants you to be honest about it.

3. "Against thee and thee only have I sinned". vs. 4. The worst thing about our sin is that it is against God. We must look at it that way.

4. Purge me...and I shall be clean: wash me and I shall be whiter that snow" vs 7 We must believe it and count on it and rejoice in it. We are forgiven. Cleansed. We must not think we have to mourn or do penance for 10 days. NO. we are forgiven and don't let the devil try to make you morbid about it.

5. Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation" vs 12. WOW. He wants to and will restore that joy the minute you come clean and confess the sin. Be believe Him, trust Him to do so.

6. Now comes the ultimate purpose of sins being forgiven. "Then will I teach transgressors thy ways and sinners shall be converted unto thee" vs 13. We are not to just sit, soak and sour. God does not forgive us nor leave us here for that. We are left here to give the gospel to "every creature" just as someone told you how Christ died for your sins, paid your debt in full, rose gain, and was seen by hundreds so they can be saved just as you are. Make sense?

7. "Big sins" such as David had should be dealt with , with "a broken spirit, a broken and contrite heart, O God, thou wilt jot despise (reject) vs 17. In the book of Acts, God warns over and over against "fornication". That is a big sin. The world treats it lightly. We must not. Love you, ABC Sumner

Sin breaks fellowship of the believer, not relationship. You can not be unborn.
