Complete Forgiveness and Unconditional Love of Jesus Christ
Bob George is speaking on the subject of the complete forgiveness and unconditional love of Jesus Christ. Hebrews 7:27, 9:12, 14-16, 10:10, Galatians 3:10, 6:13-14; 1 Peter 3:21; Romans 5:9-10, 6:23, 10:9-10; Ephesians 1:7; 2 Corinthians 5:19 and 1 John 5:12 are scriptures he shares from God’s word. He addresses common misunderstandings of what was accomplished when Jesus died on the cross and how one is saved from eternal death and given new life.
If you are still under law, then you are under a curse (Galatians 3:10). The law states that cursed is everyone who does not continue to obey all that is written in the law (Galatians 3:10). So relying on circumcision or baptism or any other law cannot save anyone (Galatians 6:13-14, 1 Peter 3:21, Romans 6:23a). He points people to the solution for sin in Jesus Christ (Romans 6:23b). In him we have redemption, the forgiveness of sin (Ephesians 1:7). Jesus became a curse for us (Galatians 3:13). Jesus really did take away the sins of the world (John 1:29) eternally for everyone when he died on the cross (Hebrews 7:27, 9:12, 10:10) but that does not mean everyone is saved.
Bob contrasts the difference between atone for sin (the sacrifice of bulls and goats under an Old Covenant – Hebrews 7:27, 9:12) to the taking away of sin once and for all (by Jesus Christ once and for all to start a New Covenant with men – Hebrews 9:14-16). He then explains how one receives new life. We are justified by the blood of Jesus but saved through His life (Romans 5:9-10). Salvation really is eternal life. When someone is in Jesus Christ, only then does he have eternal life (1 John 5:12). So the resurrection of Jesus Christ is what really saves someone as one accepts the gift of life by faith (Romans 5:9-10, 6:23b). Bob goes on to explain the importance of the resurrection of Jesus Christ. He explains that eternal life is offered as a gift to be received by faith in all that Jesus is, was and will be. He explains that when a preacher tells you to come get your sins forgiven he is really in error since the sins of the world have already been forgiven eternally. He also explains why there is no such thing as an unforgiven sin. He further explains that when someone is in Christ, he does not have to keep asking for something he already has – forgiveness, justification and sanctification and eternal life. That would be like crucifying the son of God all over again or showing a lack of faith in all that he accomplished in His resurrection.
