Your past sins are not an issue with God

There are some Christians who believe in the forgiveness of sins but not from the penalties of them. In other words, you will still get punished for your past sins. So many believers have trouble moving forward in their relationship with God thinking that He is constantly punishing them for their sins of the past.  

God is the only one who can fully appreciate the full value of His Son’s blood and is completely satisfied by His Son’s sacrifice. Because of that, God is at rest in His heart today concerning your sins. That is why He isn’t against you even when you fall. Neither is He out to punish you when you sin. No, He still loves you and is for you and wants to help you overcome that sin that the enemy is harassing you about.  

In reading the Old Testament, we know that the blood of bulls and goats could only COVER sins and not take them away (Hebrews 10:4). But the blood of Jesus is not like the blood of animals. We’re told in Psalm 103:12 “For by ONE sacrifice, the eternal blood of the Son of God has FOREVER removed your sins and cleansed you of ALL unrighteousness (1 John 1:9). In fact, God is so satisfied with His Son’s perfect work that He says to you today, “Your sins and lawless deeds I will by no means remember (Hebrews 10:17). And if God doesn’t remember them, why would He punish you for them?

Friends, you have “redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace.” Because Jesus’ work is complete, ALL your sins have been COMPLETELY forgiven. And complete forgiveness means that the penalties for your sins can no longer fall on you because they had already fallen on Jesus at the cross (Isaiah 53:5).  

So today friends, don’t think for one moment that God is punishing you for some sin just because something bad happened to you. Look to the cross and know that all your sins have already been punished fully in the body of Christ. Believe that God is for you and expect total victory. Live free from the sin consciousness of your past because Jesus bore all of it for you. When God looks at you, He see’s Jesus because of His shed blood. Praise God. How wonderful is this truth?
