1 Timothy 5:24
"Some men's sins are open beforehand, going before to judgment; and some men they follow after."
amen if we repent now our sins go before us to judgement being forgiven
“If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth: but
if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.
If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.”
1 John 1:6-10 KJV
we can repent and give our sins to the cross and be forgiven now before we have to do this
“For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad. Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men; but we are made manifest unto God; and I trust also are made manifest in your consciences.”
2 Corinthians 5:10-11 KJV
We want
repentance and remission of sins before judgement day which is what the gospel offers unto salvation
“Then
opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures, and said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus
it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day:
and that
repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. And ye are witnesses of these things. And,
behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem,
until ye be endued with power from on high.”
Luke 24:45-49 KJV
aid were trying to serve god by the end of testament word of Moses the law then it’s the opposite of repentance and remission of sins it is imputation and condemnation for sin
“Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God. Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.”
Romans 3:19-20
The gospel is about repentance and remission of sins the law is about the imputation of sin and guilt and condemnation
the reason I’m saying this is it depends on which doctrine your looking at the Old Testament or new .
the things Jesus taught us in the gospel will judge every living soul whether they accept it or reject it will determine whether they are forgiven in him or if they will stand on thier own come judgement day bearing all the sin they wouldnt repent of
Jesus word is this word
if we receive it
“Verily, verily, I say unto you,
He that heareth my word, and
believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.”
John 5:24 KJV
And this word also the same word
if we reject it
“
He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day.
For I have not spoken of myself; but
the Father which sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak. And I know that
his commandment is life everlasting: whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto me, so I speak.”
John 12:48-50 KJV
Jesus is the savior the lamb who gave his life indeed but he is also e eternal judge of every living soul he died to save . And he has clearly declared eternal life and invites anyone young old wise , foolish male female white black Israeli gentile
to hear and believe him and be saved from the condemnation to come upon all sinners
“And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and
preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.”
Mark 16:15-16 KJV
The Old Testament tells us we’re all sinners , the New Testament invites us to repent and believe and be saved from death which is the wage of sin
If we let go of other doctrines and lay hold of the doctrine of Christ we will be led out of sin now before it’s too late
“
I came not
to call the righteous, but
sinners to repentance.”
Luke 5:32 KJV
why ?
“I tell you, Nay: but,
except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.”
Luke 13:3 KJV
And so
“
The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is
longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.”
2 Peter 3:9 KJV
He’s giving us time to repent and be forgiven before the judgement because he doesn’t want us to perish . we can send our sins ahead now repenting and being forgiven or carry them with us adding to them for later and pretend we’re not sinning when deep down we understand we are
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.”
If we are honest with god about our sins he’s faithful to forgive us and cleanse us as if we’d never sinned at all , if we make reasons why we dont need to stop sinning or pretend we aren’t or pretend we’re not going to be held accountable we will never come to repentance and have thy owe sins remitted from n that case we’re going to go to judgement and have no excuse
