Forgiveness is to pardon, the record shows that your are guilty but, you've been forgiven and not punished, what Jesus gave to us is not forgiveness, there was an actual punishment for sin, Jesus was punished in your place. Luke24:46 reads: And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behooved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day. And remission of sin on the other hand is what Jesus did, in Matthew26:28 jesus said: For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins. Remission is wiping out, blotting out as though it had never been while in forgiveness the record is there that yoy are the offender but no punishment, in remission the record is wiped out and that's what Jesus did for us when he died for our sins. And briefly i want you to understand that sin in the new testament is a personal thing, Romans14:22-23* Hast thou faith? have it to thyself before God. Happy is he that condemneth not himself in that thing which he alloweth. 23:And he that doubteth is damned if he eat, because he eateth not of faith: for whatsoever is not of faith is sin. These are just brief explanations in other to understand what forgiveness and remission of sin is but you need to do a personal study of the word for yourself to have deeper insight. Thanks

What can man do to me?”” “I still feel the pain in my leg,” Della said to her cell leader just after the cell meeting. “Della, we just finished listening to Pastor’s message on healing. You should be confessing your healing instead of complaining. That’s how to respond to God’s word the right way.” Like Della, many people don’t respond the right way to the Word, thereby making it ineffective. Jesus scolded the Jews about this in Mark 7:13 NIV: “ …You nullify the word of God by your tradition that you have handed down. And you do many things like that.” Can you imagine nullifying the Word of God, which created the universe? Sadly, that’s the way it is in the lives of many. The Word doesn’t work in th...
