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

The answer is simple; the Bible says in Genesis 6:8 AMPC, “But Noah found grace (favor) in the eyes of the Lord.” That’s why when God decided to destroy the earth by flood, He instructed Noah to build an ark to protect him from the deluge. As it rained, it didn’t matter the extent of the flood and the destruction it left in its wake for the people of the world; the same waters bore Noah’s ark up. He didn’t have to bother about the flood because he was in favour with God. Romans 5:17 lets us know that God has granted us abundance of grace, meaning we’re in favour with Him. Accordingly, you’re expected to live and walk with the consciousness of one w...
