Do you have to accept Jesus to have you sin paid for? Or did he pay for it already even if you dont believe?

[MatthewG]

Many people today, believe that sins payment by Jesus has to be accepted by someone for it to be paid for,


but is that really true?

Considering Jesus died once for all peoples sin. That was a given, before anyone is even born into this world, from conception of Mom and Dad.

Therefore is there any sin left to be paid for?


~~ I get that by nature we still do sin - but when you come to realize your sin had already been paid for - wouldn't that draw people to God?

An illistration:-
There is going to be a party, through the post or via email etc you receive an invite.
So on the day you turn up and at the door the bou cer there checks his list.
Your name isn't on it, he won't let you in.
So you produce your letter, email etc etc to show you were invited and he laughs and points out the letters
" RSVP "
He says " You didn’t reply so you don't get in.

It is that same with salvation, Jesus has done it all, he offers you salvation but if you don't respond you don't get in.

Thank you windmillcharge, it's like a paid off car is waiting to be got at the store, but it's the choice to go get it but if you dont it is still paid for.

Mk 16 He that believeth not shall be DAMNED!

Thank you, Jack.

Absolutely must accept Christ which includes belief, confession of your belief, repentance, and baptism. It's after being obedient by doing the above that your sins are forgiven and you're added to the body of Christ which is his church.

 

[MatthewG]

Belief, confession, changing your mind, baptism.

Amen.
