I'm going to start with a fundamental fact: Jesus' death was the sacrifice for all sin. Obviously it wasn't for sin committed up to that time, but sin for all time. So there is forgiveness for your sin -- all of it.
I think he meant the same thing as you said.I agree with everything you said except your second sentence. Jesus was a propitiation for all sins. Propitiation means all things that came before and all things that will come after. All sins were forgiven.

Now I agree with all of the second sentence.You are correct. I should have put in "just" in the sentence, so it should read "Obviously it wasn't just for sin committed up to that time, but sin for all time."

That's a JUST decisionNow I agree with all of the second sentence.
Here's something I've found helpful: when beset by doubts and accusations, don't continue to think about them and wonder about their veracity. Instead, focus on God alone by singing hymns, reading the bible, praying, listening to a spiritual teaching, etc. If you focus is all on God, the enemy can't communicate to you as well. God will let you know what you need to change in your life. I hope this helps, sister.
Hi, KimComparision to King David doesn't work for me because I have yet to become His child. Just don't know how to do that after doing what I did. I put someone/something as more important than God (now-husband) when God clearly said NO. Similar to the Rich Young Ruler. I should have forsaken all and followed Jesus.
When Christ first calls us to follow Him, is there forgiveness for someone who put a worldly desire first? In other words, can I follow Him now?
Does He forgive those who put their hand to the plow and look back at what would be left behind (by accident!)?
Is there forgiveness for those who do not forsake all to follow Him when He calls?
I am referring to Luke 9:57-62
Yes there is forgiveness. Everyone who followed Jesus fell away and became apostate and faithless. They put their own lives before eternal union with God.
Then Jesus told them, "This very night you will all fall away on account of me, for it is written: "'I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock will be scattered.' - Matthew 26:31
If you have fallen away from following Christ, you qualify to follow him!!! This is the qualification the apostles had.
Therefore if any man (or woman) be in Christ, he (or she) is a new creature (creation): old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
