When you hear "Your sins are forgiven"

[Lamb]

So...the thread is about what do you hear when your sins are forgiven yet not everyone believes that their sins are forgiven, maybe just a select few that Jesus carried to the cross? Couldn't he handle the full load of your sins?

 

[Stravinsk]

Every kind of sin and slander will be forgiven, excepting blasphemy against Holy Spirit
Matt 12:31

Blood of covenant, poured out for the forgiveness of sins
Matt 26:28

Forgiveness of sins conditional on sinner forgiving others who have sinned against them:
Matt 6:14-15

It is a scary thing to be in the position of the Unmerciful servant! It doesn't say he isn't forgiven in the end - but he must pay for his own sins!
Matthew 18:21-35

 

[Lamb]

That's where Law and Gospel come into play and knowing when each are used
