The Blessings of Christ's Covenantal Death for His People !

The Death of Christ is according to an Everlasting Covenant, hence the writer of Hebrews writes Heb 13:20

²⁰ Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant,

This same Covenant is expressed by Jesus here as the New Covenant Matt 26:28

²⁸ For this is my blood of the new testament/covenant, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.

Its the same covenant, and shepherd, the same Blood. One of the Blessed results for them whom Christ died as their Covenant Shepherd, is the remission or forgiveness of sins.

All for whom Christ died, shed His Blood for, have remission of sins charged to them, they can never be charged with any sin against them, hence they can never die in their sins, because they dont have any, they have been forgiven of all for Christ's sake.

Col 2:13

And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses;

1 Jn 2:12

I write unto you, little children, because your sins are forgiven you for his name's sake.

So the True Preacher Preaches forgiveness of sins in His Name Lk 24:47

⁴⁷ And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.

For everyone Christ died, it shall Preached unto them by the Power of the Holy Spirit, the forgiveness of sins Acts 13:38

Be it known unto you therefore, men and brethren, that through this man is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins:

For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for MANY for the remission of sins.But I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with YOU in my Father's KINGDOM. - Matthew 26:28-29

Some might say that the "many" are a sub-set of the total of God's "elect".

And he [Jesus] is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world. - 1 John 2:2

Exactly as you have shown Brother, Christ's Covenant People have complete remission / forgiveness of sins Eph. 1:4-7. So, of themselves they need do/perform nothing, no works whatsoever, for they from Everlasting, have been made perfectly Righteous in God's sight through the Blood of the Everlasting Covenant alone Rev. 13:8.

So through the Preaching of forgiveness of sins in Christ's Name, the Holy Spirit reveals to all the Sheep He gave His Life for John 10:11,15, that they already had forgiveness of sins Is. 53:6 even before they had any knowledge of it!

Did you read the Op ?

[h=2]The Blessings of Christ's Covenantal Death for His People !2[/h]Another blessing of Christ's Covenantal death, that accompanies the forgiveness of sins, is righteousness imputed without works Rom 4:

⁶Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works,


⁷ Saying, Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered.

Yes, all for whom Christ died, and by His Blood receive remission/forgiveness of sins Matt 26:28, have as another benefit imputed righteousness without works !

Now what does without works mean ? The word works is the greek word ergon and means:

work, task, employment; a deed, action; that which is wrought or made, a work.

So righteousness was imputed to them without them doing anything. No action from them, no deed from them. In fact, it was imputed to them while they were yet enemies, and ungodly.

Looking into the Gospel, hearing it, believing it, is a deed/work James 1:25

²⁵ But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty[The Gospel of Christ Gal 5:1], and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.

So to claim that believing the Gospel is an requirement before one can have righteousness imputed, thats in contradiction Rom 4:6

⁶ Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works,

That verse is speaking of the Seed of Abraham Heb 2:16

¹⁶ For verily he took not on him the nature of angels; but he took on him the seed of Abraham. Which is the Elect !

So True, believing is a work because it's an action we take with our mind / heart. And Rom. 4:6 declares that righteousness was imputed to All the Blessed ones Ps. 32:1-2 without works.

These Elect of God Rom. 11:5 were always under God's Grace from everlasting 2 Tim. 1:9, before they ever Believed, when they were Chosen In Union with Christ their Head and Surety to have remission/forgiveness of sins Eph. 1:4-7 solely upon His Covenantal Death for them.

Absolutely, you and I appear to be the only ones that
realize that.

It's either a work of the Spiritual mind or the natural mind.

That's the Elect World, the Chosen. For many have their sins charged against them Jn 8:24.

You limit God's power to atone for the sins of the whole world, 1 John 2:2.

You and your doctrine are anti-Gospel and anti-Christ.

The believing an unregenerate person does with the natural mind
is a work [ergon] of the flesh which cannot please God Rom.8:8.


Isaiah 64:6
But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags;
and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.

ESV- "and all our righteous deeds are like a polluted garment"
