REMISSION OF SIN

SUNDAY, 14TH AUGUST, 2022.

Topic: REMISSION OF SIN

MEMORIZE: “Truly, these times of ignorance God overlooked, but now commands all men everywhere to repent,” Acts 17:30. 

SCRIPTURE READING: Hebrews 9:15.

“And for this reason He is the Mediator of the new covenant, by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions under the first covenant, that those who are called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance.” 

EXPOSITION:

REMISSION (ἄφεσις, áphesis , πάρεσις , páresis): The two Greek words, of which the latter occurs only in Romans 3:25, were translated by the same English word in the King James Version. In the Revised Version, paresis is translation "passing over." Remission is defined as an exemption from the consequences of an offense, forgiveness; while pretermission is the suspension of the penalty – "Truly, these times of ignorance God overlooked, but now commands all men everywhere to repent,” Acts 17:30 ). Cremer, Lexicon of New Testament Greek, regards the meaning of the two words as identical, except that the one refers to the Old Testament and the other to the New Testament. Sins are remitted when the offender is treated as though the offense had never been committed. Remission is restricted to the penalty, while forgiveness refers more particularly to the person, although it may be used also of the sin itself. 

Remission also is used of offenses against God's law; forgiveness, against either divine or human law. It is passing over or forgiveness of sins done aforetime, that is, since Adam. “And for this reason He is the Mediator of the new covenant, by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions under the first covenant, that those who are called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance.” Heb. 9:15.

PRAYERPOINT:

Appreciate God for the remission of our sins without minding how terrible it has been. 

DAILY BIBLE READING IN A YEAR – Isaiah 51-54.
