“And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of
your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all
trespasses;” Colossians 2:13
One day we who have been cleansed by the blood of Jesus will
truly understand what it means to “…having forgiven you all trespasses;”. Some
people who think of themselves as Christians have never had their sins
forgiven, they are falsely chasing a theology that will only send them to hell
when they die. If your sins are not forgiven or have been cleansed by the blood
of the Saviour Jesus Christ, then you are not saved. People cannot save
themselves; they cannot go through life without sinning, not even a single day,
it is impossible. The theology or doctrine that they are trusting in is false
in every way, it is anti-scripture and anti-God. But to us who have been saved,
to us who have been cleansed by the blood of the Saviour, we will one day
understand what it means to have been cleansed from our transgressions. The
Psalmist wrote, “Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is
covered…Blessed is the man unto whom the LORD imputeth not iniquity, and in
whose spirit there is no guile.” Psalms 32:1 – 2 Three blessings here (1.)
you are “forgiven”, (2.) your sins are “covered”, and (3.) God will not
“impute” your sins to you. When God “forgives” a sinner their sins are carried
away, you no longer have them, they are eternally gone. When God says your sins
are “covered” He means they are covered by the blood of His dear Son and He
will never see them again, ever! And there is the third fact, He “imputeth not
iniquity”, when God fails to impute your sins it means God will not charge you
with your sins, it does not mean there not charged, or not paid for, but rather
that you will not pay for them, Jesus
paid for them at Calvary. This is not past sins, or present sins, but all
your sins, you are actually sin-free as though you have never committed a
single sin. They have been forgiven, covered, and paid for by God the Father who sent Jesus Christ to the cross to die
for them. What a blessing and the Psalmist wrote under the inspiration of
the Holy Spirit. When we get to heaven, we will be sin-free for the very first
time, Satan will no longer tempt you, your natural man is gone, and sin will
never cross your mind or heart again, EVER! “Be it known unto you therefore,
men and brethren, that through this man is preached unto you the forgiveness
of sins…And by him all that
believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be
justified by the law of Moses.” Acts 13:38 – 39 There is nothing for you
to do, Jesus has done it all by carrying all your sins to the cross with Him. Believe
on Him and your sins too will be forgiven. “And brought them out, and said,
Sirs, what must I do to be saved…And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy
house.” Acts 16:30 – 31
