Heaven's Record Book



�Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to His cross.� --Colossians 2:14
When I was lost, my sins were being recorded one by one. It was all being written down.
�...and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to the works.� --Revelation 20:12
�For nothing is secret, that shall not be made manifest; neither any thing hid, that shall not be known and come abroad.� --Luke 8:17
One day I heard that Jesus died to pay my sins debt at Calvary and that He rose the third day from the grave. Then I trusted Him alone for my salvation, and He forgave me of ALL my sins. �Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out...� ~Acts 3:19
�I even I, am he that blotteth out thy transgressions for mine own sake, and will not remember thy sins.� ~Issiah 43:25
Now that I have been saved, God keeps me saved. God never writes down any sins on my account. Why? Because I received the payment for all my sins. Jesus died for every sin I have ever committed or will commit.
�Who shall lay any thing to the charge (put on record) of God�s elect (His children)?� Romans 8:33
So you see, when I received Jesus, I received the payment for all my sins. Now Christ never charges a sin to my account. If Jesus put one sin on my account, I would have to go to Hell forever.
�For the wages of sin is death (eternal death in the Lake of fire)...Romans 6:23
King David had sinned and committed two horrible sins, adultery and murder, and yet he says in Psalm 32 that God did not impute that to his record. Why? Because he had received the payment for sin. In the Old Testament, they looked forward to the cross. Romans 4:7 is a quote from Psalm 32 after David�s sin. �Saying, blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered. Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not Impute sin.� --Romans 4: 7,8 To impute sin means to add to one�s account.
How does God deal with me now that I am his child? Not as a lost sinner, but as a son. When I confess my sin, now that I am saved, it is not to blot sin from my record, but to blot sin from my heart so fellowship can be restored. �If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.� - 1 John 1:9
After we are saved, we are not told to pray for salvation again, but to confess each sin we commit, as soon as we commit it, so fellowship will be restored. Joy is a by product of our fellowship with God. Our relationship stays the same, but because we have a sinful nature, fellowship fluctuates. After King David committed adultery and murder, he did not pray, �restore unto me my salvation,� because his sins were not imputed unto him. But he did pray, �Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation...� (Psalm 51:12). because when fellowship is damaged, the joy is not there as it once was. When a Christian dies, he/she will not stand at the Great White Throne of judgment because his/her sins were judged at Calvary, but he/she will stand before the Bema Seat to determine what type of reward he/she will receive, for his/her service to Christ.
�Every man�s work shall be made manifest for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man�s (Christian�s) work of what sort it is. If any man�s work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. If any man�s work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.� - 1 Corinthians 3:13-15
Has YOUR sinful record been made clean through Jesus? If not, Jesus wants to save you!
FIRST, you must accept that you are a sinner. �The Bible says, �For all have sinned, and come short of the Glory of God� - Romans 3:23
SECOND, because you have a sin debt, you are condemned. �For the wages of sin is death...� - Romans 6:23 �And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. and whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.� - Revelation 20:14, 15
THIRD, know that Jesus Christ loves you and died for you. �But God commendeth His love toward us, In that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.� - Romans 5:8
FOURTH, know that God the Father put all your sins on Jesus and condemned Him in your place, on the cross. �For He (the Father) hath made Him (Jesus) to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him.� - 2 Corinthians 5:21
FIFTH, you must accept Jesus Christ as the payment for all your sins (past, present, future) to be saved. �But as many as received Him (Jesus), to them gave he power to become the sons of God (Children of God), even to them that believe on His name.� - John 1:12 �For by his grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God; Not of works, lest any man should boast.� - Ephesians 2:8,9 If you would like God�s forgiveness, put your trust in the Lord Jesus Christ today! (Sample prayer) Dear Lord Jesus, I know I am a sinner, and deserve to pay my own sin�s debt, but I do believe that You died for me to pay the debt I owe. Right now I repent of my sins and trust You alone for my salvation.
Not only did Jesus forgive me of my sin, but He gave me His own righteousness. Because I have Christ�s righteousness put on my account, God has justified me. it is not that I am righteous, but God sees me that way because of Jesus. Justification means �to declare righteous.� �Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God Imputeth righteousness without works.� Romans 4:6 � Is Jesus kind? Yes, so it was put on my account. � Is Jesus Loving? Yes, so it was put on my account. � Is Jesus holy? Yes, so it was put on my account. � Is Jesus gentle? Yes, so it was put on my account. � Is Jesus Just? Yes, so it was put on my account. � Is Jesus Good? Yes, so it was put on my account. � Is Jesus meek? Yes, so it was put on my account. (and so much more.) You see then, Jesus not only forgave my sin, but He gave me His perfection (righteousness). This doesn�t mean I will never sin. It just means that in God�s sight I am justified. �For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.� Matthew 5:20 The only way our righteousness can exceed the righteousness of the legalistic Pharisees, is if we have a righteousness from another source; that source is Jesus.
