Blotted Out - when you were born again, you were redeemed from the penalty of sin. If you had to go on paying for your wrongdoing, you'd have to go to hell when you died, because that's part of the penalty too. However, thank God, we are redeemed not only from the power of sin, but also from the penalty of sin. Jesus took our place. He suffered the penalty of sin. "I blotted out your transgression," God said." God didn't do it for your sake, but for His own sake. "I will not remember your sins," He promised

"I, even I, am he that blotteth out thy transgressions for mine ownsake, and will not remember thy sins" -  (Isaiah 43:25).

"I guess I'm just paying for the life I lived before I got saved," a minister who was having a hard time once said to me.

Many Christians, like that minister, are defeated, permitting things to take place in their lives, because they think that's the way it has to be. 

They don't know the difference between repentance and doing penance.

They try to do penance for their past life. 

But in reality, since they repented of their sins, God has no knowledge that they've ever done anything wrong!

"I blotted out your transgression," God said, "for My own sake." 

God didn't do it for your sake, but for His own sake.

"I will not remember your sins," He promised.

If God doesn't remember them, why should you?

You shouldn't!

When you were born again, you were redeemed from the penalty of sin. 

If you had to go on paying for your wrongdoing, you'd have to go to hell when you died, because that's part of the penalty too.

However, thank God, we are redeemed not only from the power of sin, but also from the penalty of sin.

Jesus took our place. 

He suffered the penalty of sin.

Confession: 

When I repented, my Heavenly Father blotted out my transgressions. He does not remember my sins.

Therefore, I won't remember them either. 

And I won't remind Him of them.

TETELESTAI - Paid In Full - The last word Jesus utters from the cross. There is nothing more that needs to be done. The price for sin has been “paid in full.” You owe nothing. Jesus’ crucifixion was a one-time event with ongoing results. It is finished for you now and for all eternity. God the Father chose to send Jesus to the cross to show His love and the seriousness of our sin. Jesus accepted to take our punishment, to save all who would believe

Agnus Dei - Agnus Dei is sometimes used to refer to a figure of a lamb with a halo and a cross or banner. Throughout the Bible, we see Jesus referred to as the Lamb of God both before His ministry began and again after His death and resurrection. After His death and resurrection, Jesus is worshipped as the Lamb who was slain. Jesus is both the sacrificial Agnus Dei who was slain and the triumphant Agnus Dei who conquered sin and death. He is the Lamb who will return again, at the second coming, for His Bride, the Church

The Sin That Leads to Death - Jesus told the religious leaders that they were in danger of committing the unpardonable sin because they were accusing Jesus of using satanic powers to perform miracles. To blaspheme the Holy Spirit by attributing the miracles of Jesus to Satan is unforgiveable. They are “guilty of an eternal sin.” There is only one sin today that God will not forgive - rejecting Jesus Christ. There is no sin which God will not forgive except failing to trust in Christ
