So you think Christ needed you to repent for Him to fulfill His mission on the Cross?

Tell it to the judge. :)

yes I do!

I will let Jesus Christ explain this to you

1 There were present at that season some that told him of the Galilaeans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices.
2 And Jesus answering said unto them, Suppose ye that these Galilaeans were sinners above all the Galilaeans, because they suffered such things?

3 I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.

4 Or those eighteen, upon whom the tower in Siloam fell, and slew them, think ye that they were sinners above all men that dwelt in Jerusalem?

5 I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.
Twice -- if you do not repent of your sins you will never be give the gift of Eternal life -- God will have not one in HIS Family that sins --none !!
"Repentance is a sincere, inward change of mind and heart (nature) involving contrition for past sins and a commitment to turn away from wrongdoing toward a righteous life. It is a multi-stage process involving recognizing wrongdoing, feeling godly sorrow, confessing, abandoning sin, making restitution, and pursuing obedience.

Your problem is you don't stay on topic. The issue was never about us receiving forgiveness. The question was when did Christ accomplish forgiveness, in His death or His resurrection.

Go back to the start and you might understand what I said in context.
 
The actual sacrifice is for forgiveness . add forgiveness is not the sealed eternal life . That's why Jesus was The lamb of God
to give The baptism of the Holy Spirit. After forgiven must get water cleansed just as Jesus went to the water with John
Jesus had no sins to cleanse. Baptism was commanded under the law
(which Jesus fulfilled) for priests. The priesthood has now changed.

folks twist everything into knots with words

The penalty for sin is eternal death!
Sin is transgressing God Law. 1 John 3: 4
all 10 of the Commandments carry the penalty of eternal death.

our Maker and life giver's life, is worth more then all humanity -- no matter the number, 100 billion or 100 trillion.
thus the value of Christ's death is able to pay the penalty of death for every human ever born or will be born.

As there is not one good, we have each earned by our sins against GOD, the penalty of eternal death.

if we repent -- agree to sin no longer and to obey, Christ's ONE sacrifice pays for all our sins, pays our debt of death.

there is no 'pardon', which is the setting aside of the law.

God's law is eternal with no other ways or means to pay for sin, only death. either we die or Christ dies for us.

even the word 'forgiveness' hides the price Christ paid to pay, to settle our debt for our sins.

Our sins were paid for by the shed blood of Christ.

The GOD who made us came to earth as one of us and died so we could live in His Family for eternity.

WHY?? God the Father and His first 'born from above' into Spirit, Jesus Christ are bringing sons into their Family, again WHY?
Relationships.
In a functioning human family, it is the relationships it fosters that make it special and wonderful, which is why God is creating His own Family .

your question

I did not understand the question it was not clear, this is-- The question was when did Christ accomplish forgiveness, in His death or His resurrection.
His death paid our debt for our sins
But without His rising from death to eternal life we would have no hope of eternal life. that is a paraphrase from Paul.
for our sin to be paid is required, but if Christ had not been raised to Spirit Life, then neither would we rise from death.

to make this clearer, His death paid for our sins, that is what most call forgiveness, it is not forgiveness it is payment in full.
the word "forgiveness" to my mind does not mean payment in full.

If I owe money and its forgiven it means I do not have to pay. Christ paid in full.

I'm here to find ONe that wants full sealed forgiveness sealed in eternal life with by the Holy Spirit, The Word Of God written in The Heart s

For a long time the offer was there for me or anyone.the blood payment is already paid .I we just have to claim it.jesus example was go to the water Cleanse heal etc.To give the true baptism as John said it is You Jesus That shall baptize Me
Simple I would share to add if Jesus agread with John to forbid the water I we won't have any offer to accept. in scripture you may see one that's cleaned when one is clean on inside you have Holy Spirit wants in. Let be it known Demons Also want in and gather their friends and that man is worse off. Danger warning I say . I'll end with this forgiveness is not eternal life forgiveness with acceptance of The Holy Spirit is sealed eternal With Son of Man Jesus ,the Only one that over came all
 
I just had HS moment I was thinking about the disciples when they all scattered and greatly simned. Jesus instead of being glorified in his place ,Jesus was more concerned about his friends .Notice Jesus wasn't want them the repent He wanted to comfort and assure Then By His Live Fir them .He is the same Now same live comfort and promised when he left he would send another comforter I accepted that offer

The ONE who made Adam in the Garden, was put to death to pay for all past, present and future sins BUT, and there is always a but, to have Christ's death pay your debt for your personal sins you must repent, you must admit you are a sinner which means you have and still are transgressing the Holy Righteous Law of God --- the same exact Law Christ kept with out one transgression and commit your life to growing into the perfection of Jesus Christ. allowing the Father to develop His divine Holy Righteous sinless Nature in you.

yes, baptism is also required, burying the old sinful self in a watery grave

God wants actions not words
Your post was well-written and eloquent. I fully concur with your estimation.
 
His great Love .! Live typo
Jesus breathe on them andsaid receive The Holy Ghost ! behold ponder stop and know, Still because Jesus had Not been glorified yet. the Holy Spirit is still on outward not abode Within them jesus breathe On. How bought He we say the Same Breathe and Jesus words commandment Receive The Holy Spirit,That is Still One Breath even To in The Now ! Well that's the kind of stuff to Holy Spirit will share to make my others Day .He is glorified and glorified and instead waiting on Jesus .
Jesus is waiting on what is His Qwn
