All sins are forgiven at the cross, the cross you are on. Jesus was crucified as an example for us to follow, yes? Many religious people ask, why is Jesus still on the cross? He’s not. That’s man on the cross. It’s each of us, at least it’s supposed to be, no?
Once we Begin to commit and follow the good Word, we have committed to spend the remainder of our days in the wine press of Eden. Is it a test? You bet, it’s the trial of our faith until the End.
