Apples of Gold - May 6

Christ’s death made possible and available the forgiveness of the sins of everyone in the world, but this forgiveness is effective only to whosoever believeth (John:5:24Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.
See All...; 6:40; 11:25–26). When saved persons ask for the forgiveness of a sin today that was forgiven centuries ago on the Cross, they are essentially recognizing the availability of forgiveness and accepting that forgiveness as 1 John:1:9If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
See All... tells them to do. Asking the Lord for forgiveness is a natural outflowing of confession—evidence of our confidence that indeed it is available and received. —TBC
