Experience Forgiveness and New Life Through Jesus Christ

The forgiveness of sin, in the Old Testament, was that God passes over the sins in His forbearance, and stops the punishment of death of the law, I.e., the obligation that the law requires on the guilty. 

As for the forgiveness of the New Testament in the blood of Jesus, it is the cleansing of sin that dwells in us. 

In the First Epistle of John, chapter one, verse seven, we read “and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin.” (1john1:7) 

And again in the Epistle to the Hebrews, chapter one, verse three, we read that Jesus purged our sins,. 

Let us read it,“who being the brightness of His glory and the express image of His person, and upholding all things by the word of His power, when He had by Himself purged our sins,” (Hebrews1:3)

St. Paul explains to us in the Epistle to the Romans, chapter six, the meaning of cleansing of sins and how this happens, saying, “knowing this, that our old man was crucified with Him, that the body of sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves of sin. 

For he who has died has been freed from sin.” (Romans 6:6) 

The forgiveness of sin of the New Testament is the cleansing of sins by the execution of our old nature, which is infested with sins, being buried with Him, I.e., through baptism into death, that as Christ was raised from the dead, we also should walk in newness of life. 

We read this in the same chapter, verse four, “Therefore we were buried with Him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.” (Romans6:4) 

So the forgiveness of sins in the blood of Jesus is not just forgiving, but cleansing, healing, and liberation from sins, accompanied by the power of resurrection and the renewal of our old nature.

Thank you Jesus for shedding your holy blood on the cross for our cleansing and purification.

Amen
