DOCTRINAL ISSUES: ON FORGIVENESS OF SINS

Posted by on
Technically, the NT runs from ACTS to REV. In no place there are we told to ask God to forgive us our sins. Such prayers were only tenable before the cross.
What we have are:
1- God has ALREADY forgiven us our sins in Christ.- Eph1:7;4:32;Col1:14;2:13.

2- We remain clean from sins as we:

a-Walk in the light (obey the Word); then the blood of Jesus continuously cleanses us from ALL unrighteousness.-1John1:7

b-Confess our sins; then He's faithful & Just to forgive the sins and cleanse it.-1Jn1:9.

We are to confess the sins, NOT ask Him to forgive them. Faith makes us know that His faithfulness compels Him to forgive confessed sins.

c-When the sick among us have the Elders offer the prayer of faith for them & anoint them with oil. Then if they had sinned, they would be automatically forgiven. 1Jn5:14-15.

While it looks sanctimonious to pray:"Father forgive me my sins", it's actually an expression of unbelief on what the Bible says.

We must be careful not to allow religious cliches make us operate contrary to the revealled word of God.
For then, we would be frustrating Grace.

WAR AGAINST FAKE DRUGS STORED IN COMFORT OBOH WAREHOUSE IN KIRIKIRI COMMUNITY

By Jonathan Eze The menace posed by the influx of adulterated products in Nigeria is becoming increasingly alarming. SON, in company of security agents and representatives of some news media visited the warehouses at the Kirikiri area of Lagos. The operation led by the Director of the organisation Inspectorate and Compliance Monitoring, Bede Obayi, was quite revealing. It was obvious that the importer who is already in police custody does not and can never know the quantities and brands of products he has in the warehouses because each of the flats and even staircases were filled and stocked to the brim with different products majority of which had expired. The war against fake products should not be left alone in the hands of the officials of the Standards Organisation of Nigeria (SON) because like wildfire, the zeal and zest of some wicked and callous individuals and organisations in making Nigeria home for their nefarious activities is burning and it must be c
