“You are completely forgiven - past, present and future” may not be your regular sermon but it is the heart of the gospel. Our past, present, and future sins were dealt with simultaneously through the cross. God didn’t discriminate with regard to the time of occurrence. For everyone alive today, all of our sins were in the future when Jesus died. This means that Jesus paid the price for the sin of the world BEFORE anyone alive today was ever born, before such a person ever inherited the nature of sin or even committed any acts of sins.

Hebrews 10:17-18 reads “And their sins and their lawless acts I will remember no more [no longer holding their sins against them].” Now where there is [absolute] forgiveness and complete cancellation of the penalty of these things, there is no longer any offering [to be made to atone] for sin.

As a believer in Christ, God wants you to know that in Christ your sins are forgiven. The debt is paid. The past is behind you. The slate is clean. Praise His glorious name! The most natural response to knowing you are forgiven is to live to worship the Lamb who bought you that forgiveness. 

ACTION: Supposing that Heb 10:17-18 is true for you, and it is, and considering that scriptures cant be broken, spend time pondering on how you would approach life, if indeed your sins are forgiven. Now, make a decision to approach life with that mindset. Try this for 7 days and record on how your life turns out.

READ: Jer 31:33-34, Heb 10:17-18, Rom 3:25, Heb 9:13-15

Jesus is the propitiation for our sins. By means of the crucifixion of Jesus, God has provided the "mercy seat" once and for all, and open to all. One can trust (have faith) that atonement has been made. Your sins have been forgiven and forgotten, hence there is no other sacrifice needed for your sin. God wants you to know that in Christ your sins are forgiven. The debt is paid. The past is behind you. The slate is clean. Praise His glorious name!
