Let’s take a look.
KJV Romans 3:23-25
23. For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
24. Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:
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;
Note: Key words: “remission of sins that are past” After believing the gospel and that Jesus died and rose, then getting baptized, on that day, Jesus forgives all our sins we’ve committed before getting baptized. Now, all the sins we commit after being baptized can very well be counted against us on Judgment Day.
KJV 2 Peter 1:5-9
5. And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge;
6. And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness;
7. And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity.
8. For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
9. But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins.
Note: Key words: “purged from his old sins” Once baptized, immediately we have remission or are purged from our past sins, not past, present, and future.))
Until again,
Grace and Peace
