Understanding the 3 Levels of Salvation: Spirit, Soul & Body
Book One: The Salvation of the Spirit
Restoration Of Relationship
2) Remission - Remission means forgiveness. Being now owned by God, He can literally do with you whatever He wants. And the first thing He does is to forgive you for all your sins, past, present and future.
Definition:
Remission is the complete forgiveness of all a person’s sins, those he committed in the past, his present sins and those that he will commit in the future. Complete forgiveness!
NOTE: Jesus’ work affected all periods of time, the past, the present and the future, or else He could not have said, “It is finished!” He would have had to say, “It shall be finished!”
His work affected the past because it reached back in time and freed the Old Testament saints like Abraham and Moses. It affected the present because He said to the thief on the cross, “Today, you shall be with me in Paradise!” And, of course it affected the future because
what He did two thousand years ago affects us today. Right now... is the future in relation to the work of the cross which was done two thousand years ago!
Therefore, when you accept the work of the cross today it has the power to affect your future whether it’s tomorrow, next month, next year or one hundred years from now! ALL your sins are forgiven... past, present and future!!! All of them are presently forgiven; in fact, they were ALL forgiven two thousand years ago!!!
3) Justification - This is a further step in the same direction as remission. Where remission is the forgiveness of sins, justification is the actual removing of all the evidence of sin.
So that the person accused of sin can now be legally declared not guilty! Why? Because there is no evidence! The evidence is gone! That’s what the blood of Jesus does; it takes away the evidence of sin.
It’s as if the person had never sinned... at all! They are justified from all accusation of sin and declared... innocent!
Definition:
Justification is the declaration of complete innocence and reinstatement in good standing with a clear conscience of one who was formerly judged guilty, by the complete removal of all the evidence of sin through the finished work of the Lord Jesus Christ!
NOTE: Ask yourself this question! If a man is declared innocent and there’s absolutely no evidence to convict him... none what so ever! Which just and competent court in a civilized nation will sentence that man to prison? None?
By the same token, if you are declared innocent of all sin and there’s no evidence to convict you, on what grounds will the Just Judge of the universe sentence you to hell? There are none!!! THERE... IS... NO... EVIDENCE!!!
All your sins have already been paid for... All Of Them!!! Past, present and future!!! This is why a Christian CANNOT be cast to hell!!!
