Whether are a mans sins forgiven at once, 1or at sundry times?
- 1Quest.
At the first time;1 when a man believes in the LORD JESUS CHRIST, at that time all his sins past, present, or to come, are remitted. The sins he commits after believing, or in believing, or before believing, are all pardoned: Justification doth not increase or decrease, but sin it is pardoned at the first act of believing; Though sanctification may have degrees, one man may be more sanctified then another, but this hath none; but he is fully justified, and all his sins past, present, or to come, are pardoned to him in CHRIST; all phrases in Scripture imply thus much. Jer. 32. I will pardon their sins, and remember them no more. Ezek. 38. I will blot them out of my remembrance.
