He toki ‘alo‘ofa, ka ko ha ‘alo‘ofa…

( O mercy of all mercies…)

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, ‘o 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 - RICHARD SIBBES (cont…)

And if all our sins laid upon Christ could not take away God's love from him, shall they take away God's love from us, when by Christ's blood our souls are purged from them? O mercy of all mercies, that. ..he would vouchsafe to … make us his by such a way, as all the angels in heaven stand wondering at; even his Son not only taking our nature and miserable condition, but our sin upon him, that that being done away, we might through Christ have boldness with God as ours, who is now in heaven appearing there for us, until he bring us home to himself, and presents us to his Father for his for ever!
