Romans 8:1-4 NIV

Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit who gives life has set you free from the law of sin and death. For what the law was powerless to do because it was weakened by the flesh, God did by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh to be a sin offering. And so he condemned sin in the flesh, in order that the righteous requirement of the law might be fully met in us, who do not live according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.


Romans 6:1-4 NIV

What shall we say, then? Shall we go on sinning so that grace may increase? By no means! We are those who have died to sin; how can we live in it any longer? Or don’t you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life.


1 John 1:8-10 NIV

If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. If we claim we have not sinned, we make him out to be a liar and his word is not in us.


At the Cross, Jesus Christ took the punishment for our sins. By believing in what He did at Calvary, we are delivered from the spiritual bondage of sin that has held us down from birth. It is impossible for man to live a righteous life without the divine Grace that comes from God through Christ Jesus. Anybody who has tried to break an addiction or transcend to a higher level of moral standards can attest to that. Righteousness through works is impossible because the chains that hold a man down are not physical but spiritual passed to us through the sin of Adam.
Through the second Adam; Jesus Christ, and faith in Him, we can be saved from that bondage of sin and live victorious lives for God on earth and hereafter!
Even after accepting the redemptive work of Christ, the battle now begins to live out the salvation God has placed in our spirit man. Temptations still arise but through a strong walk in faith in Christ, we overcome the enemy; satan and his children.
Now, although Christ has saved us from the spiritual consequences of sin; death, the physical consequences are still a pertinent reason for us to avoid sin as it is only by God's Grace and mercy we escape those. A person who kills can still end up in jail.
It is also important to note that in our regenerated lives as Christians, our relationship with God is not a game of russian roulette. Hence even if we fall into sin for whatever reason, through the preciois blood of the Lamb, He is willing and ABLE to restore us and keep leading us into "a brighter day"!
God has forgiven us for our past sins, and has made provisions for our future sins through Christ Jesus!

Look at the cross, behold Christ on the cross with
bruises all over him, holes in arms and legs. Look at
Him, holy and blameless, lamb. Lonely. You can't find
any trace of smile on his face. Forsaken. He is not just
a good man, He is perfect that there is no guile found
in Him. Not even one. If there is, hanging there on that
cross wont be His lot. Look at Him, bearing on his body
the consequences of "our" sins. All "our" sins! All! Not
one is allowed to slide. It is a painful death. Need i say
it is not deserved. He didn't commit a crime but
wicked men and women like us are crying "crucify
him!!!" Is Jesus not able to come down from that
cross? He raised Lazarus from the dead after all!
"save yourself king of the jews!!!" Now someone is
shouting! More wails and cries that amidst that no one
remembered that "The temple MUST be destroyed and
built in 3 days" "That the saviour must of need suffer"
"That the good shepherd must lay His life down for His
sheep" "That the ONLY way they can live is through
death"
There was only one thing that took Jesus to Golgotha
and that one thing was what kept Him there on the
cross till He took in the full wrath of God. And it was
His ETERNAL LOVE for His people. His people were all
on their way to eternal damnation cos of one thing. You
guessed it, sin. One sin was enough for God to call it
off with man! When Jesus hung on that cross, it was to
pay for this sin, this sin that caused men to hate God,
was atoned for, for ever! God cannot punish any of His
people for their sins again! If He did Christ died in vain.
He cannot punish twice for the same sin. All His
people's sins He has paid for through the death of
Christ. Here is the summary, their salvation judgement
has taken place on the cross already. They are saved
for ever and sealed with that Holy spirit of promise.

Lol again.

So they taught in your jamb lessons that Abraham, Moses, Hebrew prophets and Jesus were the foundations of human existence ?

With tears in my eyes, I am thoroughly ashamed.

Seriously, my fellow Nairalanders, what are these bad teachers teaching our children in schools these days?
Even in this age of information, Nigeria kids such as this op, this jamb champion, still believes the silly idea that Abraham, Moses and Jesus are the foundations of human life.

Oh gosh, who is going to console me ?

Back to the topic.

Isn't it just a tad silly to think, suggest or even teach that Jesus/god has made provisions for your future sins?
What does that mean or imply?

What kind of a philosophy teaches people that future transgressions are already provisioned for?
Where lies the responsibility of the individual if god/Jesus has proactively granted him/her a get-out-of-jail card for yet-to-be-committed offences ?

This kind of crap, if it is true Christian teaching, makes Christianity by far the silliest philosophical system ever contrived.
