☆ ﻿ ﻿ YOU'RE ALREADY FORGIVEN, BUT DO YOU BELIEVE IT?!

Where was the SIN QUESTION settled? Calvary.
What was the verdict? Guilty.
What was the penalty? Death.
Who took it? Jesus Christ.
How much of it? All of it.
How much did he leave for you? None of it...not imputing the world's sins unto them; "not imputing their trespasses unto them" (2 Corinthians 5:19)

******PROPHECY & HISTORY******
 "...which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began." Acts 3:21

-WHAT HAPPENED?

1 Corinthians 15:3-4
3  For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that CHRIST DIED FOR OUR SINS according to the scriptures;
4  And that HE WAS BURIED, and that HE ROSE AGAIN THE THIRD DAY according to the scriptures:

**THE REVELATION OF THE MYSTERY**
...to the world was revealed to the Apostle Paul by Jesus Christ
"...which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God" Ephesians 3:9

-WHY DID IT HAPPEN?

23  For all have sinned (PAST TENSE), and come short of the glory of God (PRESENT TENSE: ONGOING, CONTINUALLY);
24  Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:

-WHAT DID IT ACCOMPLISH?

2 Corinthians 5:18-21
18  And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation;
19  To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.
20  Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God.
21  For he [God; The Father] hath made him [Jesus Christ; God's only begotten son, God in the flesh] to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.

A RANSOM FOR ALL (MYSTERY), NOT JUST MANY (PROPHECY):

1 Timothy 2:3-7
3  For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;
4  Who will have ALL men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.
5  For there is one God, and one media
