God is good! The Lord knows your sins of tomorrow! Jesus died for them on the cross, along with your sins of today and yesterday - When we accept Jesus as our Savior, He forgives ALL our sins - past, present, and future, His forgiveness is not partial but complete!
We are secure in Christ!!
When Jesus died, all our sins were in the future. He died for the sins of the entire world across all ages, including those who lived before Him and the sins of the Church that would come later - our sins!
If our future sins are not forgiven, when we sin in the future, it would imply reverting to an "unforgiven state" where we lose our salvation and need to be saved again. It's important that we understand that we do not lose our salvation when we sin!
Not only that, but it also implies that Jesus would need to be crucified again every time we sin, which is not true. He died "once and for all" for our sins.
"By that will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all" Hebrews 10:10
We are safe and secure in Jesus' hands. He gives us eternal life, so we cannot perish, and "neither shall anyone snatch them out of His hand." He knows we will sin tomorrow. He didn't grant us the ability to stop sinning completely - instead, He gave us His forgiveness through His blood on the cross. It's the power of His blood that saves us!
Through faith, we are justified "Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ." (Ro 5:1).
When God justifies us, He declares us righteous. Although we may still sin, God's declaration remains unchanged. Our justification indicates that our future sins are also forgiven. We stand in grace!
God does not label us as "Righteous," only to remove it and replace it with "Sinner" as soon as we sin. We are labeled as "Righteous" despite our sins because it is the blood of Jesus that justifies us, not our actions.
This is not a license to go and sin, though! Whoever desires to return to the ways of the world and act as they did before being saved is not truly saved!
When we accept Jesus, He gives us the Holy Spirit as our guide and helper. We become sons and daughters of God, and our love for Him compels us to please Him and strive to do what is right. However, we still live in these mortal bodies in a sinful world, and we will continue to sin until we leave this world.
"If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us."
1 John 1:8
When we sin, we repent and turn to the Father, seeking forgiveness. We make a heartfelt commitment to turn away from it and not repeat it. It is a battle, but we have His forgiveness to help us leave it behind. As He said on the cross, "It is finished."
FIND REST IN THIS!
We are saved by grace through faith, and the moment we trust in Jesus, we are made right with God. All our sins, including those in the future, are ultimately forgiven, and our salvation is everlasting and secure.
"And you, being dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He has made alive together with Him, having forgiven you all trespasses." Col 2:13
"For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast." Eph 2:8-9
