‘Ufi‘ufi kotoa ‘etau talangata‘á ‘i he talangofua ‘a Kalaisí

(our disobedience is completely covered by the

obedience of Christ  )

Fehu‘i #25

‘Oku malava nai ‘e he pekia ‘a Kalaisí  ke fakamolemole‘i kotoa ai ‘etau ngaahi angahala?

‘Io, he na‘e totongi kakato ‘e he pekia ‘a Kalaisí ‘i he kolosí ‘a hotau mo‘ua ki he angahalá, pea tu‘unga ‘i he ‘alo‘ofa ‘ata‘atā pe ‘a e ‘Otuá, ‘oku ne foaki kiate kitautolu ‘a e ma‘oni‘oni ‘a Kalaisí, ‘o hangē pe ia ko ha‘atau me‘á, pea ‘ikai ha‘ane toe manatu ki he‘etau angahala.

Does Christ's death mean all our sins can be forgiven?

Yes, because Christ's death on the cross fully paid the penalty for our sin, God graciously imputes Christ's righteousness to us as if it were our own and will remember our sins no more.

2 Kolinito 5:21

Na‘a ne ngaohi ko e koto angahala ‘a e Toko Taha ko ia na‘e ‘ikai te ne ongona ha angahala, koe‘uhi ā ko kitautolu; koe‘uhi ke tau hoko ai ‘iate ia ko e koto mā‘oni‘oni faka‘otua.

2 CORINTHIANS 5:21

For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him

we might become the righteousness of God.

Commentary – ALISTAIR BEGG (cont…)

Peter tells us that the angels, actually, long to look into this (1 Pet.1:12). And what they have observed from a distance, the believer knows perfectly.

The wonder of it all is that our disobedience is completely covered by the obedience of the Lord Jesus - all of our sins dealt with forever.

Prayer

Forgiving Father, when we are covered in the righteousness of Christ, you remember our sins no more. You have put them as far as the east is from the west. Help us not to doubt your forgiveness, your mercy or your love, but come to you boldly as your beloved children. Amen.
