Scripture: 1 Peter 3:18 [ For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh , but quickened by the Spirit. KJV. ]
There are some folks who believe that Christ died for their past sins alone. They believe Christ did not die for their present and future sins. They think the only way God would forgive them their sins is to confess them.
Hebrews 9:22 [ And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission. ] Sins are remitted by shedding of blood and not confession. Confessions do not bring to us remission of sins but remission comes as a result of the blood of Jesus Christ.
In the Old Testament, since the blood of animals were not enough to take away sins, the sacrifice was repeated every year. How many sacrifices has Jesus offered for sins? One is the answer. This means His sacrifice was able to take away all sins. Christ is not offering any sacrifice for present and future sins. He is seated at the right hand side of God.
He does not need to offer any sacrifice again because He took away past, present and future sins (all sins). Christ didn’t leave something undone. He did a finished and complete work. Christ paid all. Hallelujah!
CONFESSION
Father I thank you for the gift of remission of sins. Christ died for all my sins. His blood was perfect to take away my past, present and future sins. I stand blameless and perfect in the sight of God because of Christ. Amen.
