X. PRESENTING THE CONCLUDING REMARKS ON SECURITY The believer’s forgiveness and acceptance before God’s throne never changes because of Christ’s death and continued priestly ministry on our behalf (Rom. 5:9; Heb. 7:25). The believer’s fellowship with God does change (1 John 1:7) and therefore confession and forgiveness is needed (1 John 1:9) to regain our communion with God (Ps. 51:12) but not our salvation and justification (legal acceptance) before God’s throne (Jude 24). God faithfully looks upon the sacrifice of Jesus Christ (1 John 1:9; Ex. 12:13) and sees that Jesus paid the penalty of judgment (Isaiah 53:10) for every sin that we would commit throughout our Christian life. God therefore grants us pardon and forgiveness when we sin in our Christian life based upon the security of our pardon and justification that we already possess in Heaven. Christ’s sacrifice is finished forever (John 19:30), The believer is forgiven forever (1 John 2:12), Our High Priest has secured us forever (Heb. 7:25), God accepts and loves us forever (Rom. 8:33-39). The Christian can confess his sins repeatedly (1 John 1:9), The Father faithfully looks to Christ’s blood repeatedly (Heb. 7:25), Cleansing is applied to the Christian repeatedly (1 John 1:7, 9), Fellowship can be restored repeatedly (1 John 1:7).
