“who was delivered up because of our offenses, and was raised because of our justification.”
This would be our past offenses .
First of all, your Translation, regarding your verse, is weak.
Not a good translation....of this...= "because of our Justification".
This is the correct idea...."raised again".."FOR our Justificaton"
See when we understand that Jesus Himself, is our ENTIRE Redemption, and Jesus Himself IS Salvation, then we understand that Christ being raised is the PROOF of all that.
The Resurrection PROVES that when Jesus from the Cross said...>"It is Finished".....then this Salvation that He has Accomplished, (
"finished") that we RECEIVE BY FAITH......Is the TRUTH........as Jesus being raised from the dead proves it to be so.
Also, the verse does not say "PAST offenses"... You say that, you inserted that idea and word.... as that is your own personal translation Theology.
The verse actually says "offenses". PLURAL... = ALL.
How do you know?
Because Jesus is the "one time Eternal Sacrifice for SIN"........not just past sin.....
Hebrews 10:12...
Hebrews 10:10, explains it more deeply... It says... ""we (the born again) have been
Sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ
ONCE = for ALL".
See that?
"ONCE" for ALL.... "all"..who believe and are born again., tho the offer of this redemption is to everyone.
You say you have "studied the bible since 1992", yet you have no idea that all sin is redeemed, and all believers are SANCTIFIED by the BLood and Death of Jesus, "ONCE for ALL".
Your strange teaching.. that only "past sins only are forgiven" .. is a Grace denying theology that is trying to get the Christian caught up in trying to keep themselves saved.
Listen,
Grace Rejectors always try to use a few verses, misapplied, to try to cause the Christian to start trying to keep themselves saved, as when that happens to them, they have lost real faith in Christ.
So, i hope you will understand something..
Hebrews 13:9 teaches that if you dont get your Heart, your theology, your belief system, "grounded in GRACE"< then the devil will get you grounded in works, commandments, law, enduring, and all other SELF RIGHTEOUSNESS.
