is through faith in Christ’s blood, without shedding of which there is no forgiveness (or remission) (
Heb. 9:22
22
And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission. (Hebrews 9:22)
). It is now fully known, because Christ has died, and in His sacrifice God has a
righteous
ground for forgiving the sinner. All remission, or rather passing over (
Rom. 3:25
25
Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; (Romans 3:25)
) of sin before the cross showed God’s forbearance, but not His righteousness. Heb. 10 shows that forgiveness of sins is eternal and forever. Besides this general forgiveness of all sins on believing, any sins a child of God may commit are forgiven on his confession (1 John 4). Not that he will be judged for them in any case, for the value of Christ’s blood secures their never rising up before God (
1 John 2:1
1
My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous: (1 John 2:1)
), but
we
are not forgiven as children until we confess.
