Do You Have To Be Saved To Be Forgiven?

While we have many today calling themselves "grace teacher," we are lacking "ministers of reconciliation."   Some teach that God will stop imputing the world's sins only when they believe the gospel, while others teach that God stopped imputing the world's sins on account of the death of His Son when the world was still His ENEMIES.   Today, Trey will offer some thought provoking commentary that may help to answer some of the following questions:    👉 Is Believing Doing? If it is -- and you tell someone that they have to believe the gospel to get their sins forgiven, are you telling them they must DO something for forgiveness?    👉 Does the gospel of 1 Corinthians chapter 15 mention that belief is necessary to "appropriate" forgiveness, or is it a statement of fact? -A proclamation of something that has ALREADY been completed?    👉 Is Forgiveness the same as Salvation, or is it what makes salvation POSSIBLE?    👉 Is our forgiveness predicated on something WE-DO or something HE-DID?    👉 Is God on standby waiting to forgive people only if and when they react?    👉 Does God only forgive those who know what they are doing? Or does he forgive them that "know not what they do"? (Luke 23:34)    👉 Did God stop imputing sins to the "WORLD", or only the BELIEVERS?   👉 Where in Paul's 13 letters does he give us a method -- a way -- to get our sins forgiven? (Book, chapter and verse please)    After listening to today's teaching, if Truth Time Radio can be of assistance to you, please do not hesitate to call us toll free @ 1.888.988.9562.   *G* race *R* ightly   *A* pplied *C* hanges *E* verything
