Ep. 89 - So You're Saved—Now What? - Did God Really Forgive All My Sins?

In this first episode of the "So You're Saved—Now What?" series, hosts Braden, Justin, Ernest, and Elijah tackle one of the most fundamental questions new believers face: Did God truly forgive all of my sins—past, present, and future? The conversation explores the crucial distinction between legal forgiveness, which establishes your eternal standing before God, and parental forgiveness, which restores daily fellowship with your Heavenly Father. Drawing from passages like Romans 8, John 10, and 1 John, the team explains how Christ's finished work on the cross means believers are eternally secure in God's hands—no sin can forfeit your salvation. They address common struggles with guilt, the temptation to earn God's favor through works, and why spiritual maturity isn't measured by theological knowledge alone but by returning to the basics of the gospel again and again. Through candid personal stories and careful biblical teaching, this episode offers essential reassurance for anyone wrestling with doubts about the completeness of Christ's forgiveness. Whether you're a brand-new Christian or have walked with Jesus for years, this conversation will anchor you in the unshakeable truth that when Jesus said "It is finished," He meant it.If you were encouraged by this episode or have any questions you would like to have answered, please email us at [email protected] or send us a text at the link in the description.Resources Mentioned:The Holiness of God by R.
