Remission

From: A Dictionary of Biblical Words and Phrases

By: Alfred Taylor Schofield

This word is variously rendered forgiveness (Mark 3:29²⁹But he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost hath never forgiveness, but is in danger of eternal damnation: (Mark 3:29)), deliverance (Luke 4:18¹⁸The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, (Luke 4:18)), and liberty (Luke 4:19¹⁹To preach the acceptable year of the Lord. (Luke 4:19)). It means a putting away, and hence full forgiveness, and must be distinguished from a word that only occurs in Rom. 3:25²⁵Whom 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), translated remission which means “putting by,” not “putting away,” and is applied to the putting of the sins of the Old Testament believers on one side until the sacrifice of Christ should fully put them away.
