From the transcript...
In Ephesians 1 and 7, since we're now joined to Christ, we've been given the treasures of redemption by His blood—the total cancellation of our sins—all because of the cascading riches of His grace.
Okay, the total cancellation of sins. Sounds like John the Baptist: “Behold the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world.” Well, you know John preached that, but do we really believe that? No. “Oh, you’ve got to do something.” Well, even then, they don’t even believe when they do something, James.
Okay, you may have to edit this out. No.
I have pastored churches for almost 40 years. And for 40 years, I have continually had to counsel people about the forgiveness of sins. I have preached the total, complete forgiveness of sins through Christ and His shed blood—the finished work of the cross—that you are forgiven.
And I’m telling you, James, even the people who would declare themselves as saved, born again, believers, baptized, active, faithful in church, tithers, Bible readers, and prayers do not experience the freedom from the guilt of their sins like they should.
