Stop asking for forgiveness & Start acting forgiven

Stop asking for forgiveness and start acting forgiven: Highlights from chapter 2 of our book, "How to Be a Christian Without Being Religious"

Our work in regard to sin and forgiveness is either finished, or there's more work for us to do to stay forgiven.
In order to find freedom in our relationship with God, and walk in relationship with Jesus instead of being religious, we need to settle the issue of forgiveness.

Are you double-minded when it comes to forgiveness? Do you believe Jesus paid for the world's sins, including yours, when He died on the cross, and then to continue to ask for forgiveness? That's being double-minded and unstable. You won't become mature spiritually, growing in grace, until you settle this in your heart and mind.
"...a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways..." James 1:8

When Jesus gave up his spirit and died on the cross, he said, "It is finished." He didn't say, "It's partially done, or, "I did my part, now they need to do theirs, Father."

Look at what Hebrews says about our great High Priest (Jesus) and His work for us in dealing with sin:
Hebrews 1:8, 9:25-28, 10:10,12,14, 17-18

* How many times did Jesus die for sins? Once.

More scripture about our forgiveness in Jesus:
Hebrews 9:22, Matthew 6:15, Colossians 3:13, Ephesians 4:32, Acts 10:43, Romans 5:6,8,10; Ephesians 1:7, Colossians 1:13-14

* In the new covenant, is forgiveness something get, or something we have & are?
* Can you find a scripture in the new covenant that tells Believers to ask God for forgiveness after they're born again? No.

**1 John 1:9 was written to Gnostics (lost, not saved). For context, read 1 John 1:1-10.

Rest in the fact that Jesus' work on the cross is finished. Your sins have been forgiven. You are a forgiven person. Not can be, might be or will be, ARE a forgiven person in Christ.
