Confessed and Forgiven Sin

We need to become strong enough to put out of our life those who don't understand confessed and forgiven sins. I had to do this, what a relief the day I realized I no longer had to answer to it or think about it.

There is no born again believer who didn't have to confess sinfulness and accept the forgiveness of God. Everyone who claims to be born again, can never hold a past sin against another born again believer.

Romans 3:10-12
10 as it is written:
“None is righteous, no, not one;
11 no one understands;
no one seeks for God.
12 All have turned aside; together they have become worthless;
no one does good,
not even one.”

If we are seeking Christ we WILL heal and it will allow us to put EVERYTHING behind us that is no longer us. We all have to do this. Anyone who thinks they never had to do this, is lying and perhaps still in their sin of pride. Perhaps they are not born again, or they would understand the brokenness of the heart of someone who has confessed and trusted Christ. Christ has removed all the stain of past forgiven sin, we no longer have to answer to anyone for it. We can openly tell others we were sinful to encourage them, that we all have sin and that we all have to confess. But we never have to listen to those who would love to operate as though we were never forgiven.

1 John 1:7 "But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanseth us from all sin."
