Answer: If we only accept the Lord Jesus’ redemptive work in the Age of Grace, but reject Almighty God’s work of judgment and chastisement in the last days, then we can never free from sin and become someone who does heavenly Father’s will and enters God’s kingdom.

The Church of Almighty God | About Salvation and Final Salvation | Question 4

Answer: The Lord Jesus did forgive our sins. But it doesn’t mean we aren’t sinful, or we’ve broken free from the shackles of sin and become holy. The Lord Jesus has forgiven our sins. But what does “sin” mean here? We all know things like fornication and theft which are against the law, the commandments, and God’s word, all are sins. Anything that resists God, condemns God, and judges God are also sins, not to mention blasphemy against God, which is unforgivable! In the Age of Grace, the Lord Jesus made Himself the sin offering for mankind. Only by praying, confessing, and repenting to the Lord would people not be condemned or put to death. In other words, God no longer took them as sinners. And mankind could pray to the Lord directly and enjoy His grace due to His forgiveness. This is the real meaning of “sins are forgiven.”
