@Dave,
@regibassman57 the bible teaches us we need to repent when we sin, s. Only believers have advocate to intervene for us when we do sin with the father that is Jesus Christ.
Dave, Jesus is no longer the minister of sin; He finished the work of sin when He died and rose from the dead (Gal. 2:17, 18; Dan. 9:24). When God forgives a sinner once for all, He does it once. This is what sinners do when they believe Romans 10:9, 10 and 1John 1:9. Verse 1:9 teaches God is faithful to forgive you of “all” sins. For a Gentile sinner it’s from the sin of Adam that was imputed unto all men. For the sins of the Jews it’s the sin of Adam and the curse of the law imputed upon them by God through the Mosaic Law. All sins have been forgiven man when they first come to Jesus Christ. This is what Romans 3:24 is teaching as “past” sins.
Rom 3:24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:
Rom 3:25 Whom God hath set forth
to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;
Jesus purged your sins “one time” according to scripture when He died on the cross (Heb. 1:3). This tells me you don’t understand what Heb.10:1-4 is talking about. That’s not an insult but an observation according to your reply.
I have no problem with our disagreeing, but I’m not out to call you names and the other foolishness of words that insults.
Jesus said those that are righteous do not repent from sin. He didn’t say they didn’t have to repent from their works or actions, but the context is about sin. There is joy in Heaven over “one sinner” that repents. The just/righteous person (the believer) does not need to repent from sin. A believer repents from any character contrary to the righteous character of Christ; but not sin; “unfruitful works” (Mat. 13:17-23; Tit. 3:14).
Luk 15:7 I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over “one sinner” that repents, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which “NEED NO REPENTANCE.”
The Righteous person is the believer, and the sinner is the sinner that needs to repent by coming to Christ and confessing they are a sinner. Dave, if you sin, you are still a slave to sin according to scripture. Only Satan can make you sin.
Joh 8:34 Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever commits sin is the servant of sin.
You were the servants of sin past tense. You have to understand the principle of what Jesus did.
Rom 6:20 For when ye were the servants of sin, you were free from righteousness.
If you sin you are still the servant of sin; which is the devil. You are not under Grace. At least you are not speaking like it.
1Jo 3:8 He that commits sin is of the devil; for the devil sins from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.
It’s only through God’s Grace in you that Satan’s works are destroyed, but God’s Grace is sufficient unto you, that's why He is not imputing sin to you.
