I was involved in a conversation the other day with 3 other people that are pastors I am not a pastor, and it seem to get pretty deep and also a little rough. I think this is simpler than what was being stated. One was saying something like this ”how can we have sin if they are blotted out” The other was saying “ with God being finite everything is as it’s already happened so yes they are blotted out.” God is in a different time than us . Christ came to be the penalty for our sins nailing them upon the Cross. Which sins past , present ,or future sins? For us all our sins were future. If we are in Christ then all are sins are blotted out in Gods time zone. But for us the sin still exist for us to commit, and forgiveness to seek. So let me try and simplify this. When we die and stand before the Lord our God and goes to past judgement upon us and he opens the book of life turns to the page that says sins committed the only thing he will see is eraser marks or blot dots . He will not see anything there. For our sins that were recorded are gone. I think it’s that simple. So if there is no sins to pass judgement on then what are we judge on? Our Works, our deeds , the actions we did as a Christian to further the message of Christ. 1Cor 3:10-15 10 According to the grace of God given to me, like a skilled or wise master builder I laid a foundation, and someone else is building upon it. Let each one take care how he builds upon it. 11 For no one can lay a foundation other than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ. 12 Now if anyone builds on the foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw— 13 each one’s work will become manifest, for the Day will disclose it, because it will be revealed by fire, and the fire will test what sort of work each one has done. 14 If the work that anyone has built on the foundation survives, he will receive a reward. 15 If anyone’s work is burned up, he will suffer loss, though he himself will be saved, but only as through fire. As we pass thru the fire I call the fire of purification then our works, deed will be burned up. The ones that benefited the Gospel message we get rewards the ones that didn’t will disappear.
