What was accomplished by the cross?

Christ Jesus died for ALL sins PAST, PRESENT and FUTURE: and all sins which were laid upon Him in the 1st Century from our perspective are FUTURE sins. Therefore, no sin that men / women commit today for a believer, is not unforgiven; everything is paid in full.

Colossians 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;

Christ has forgiven you all trespasses (and sins): paid in full at the cross. That is what was accomplished at the cross.

Amen to your response!

In other words, when Jesus said, “It is finished” . . . He meant that all the work that needed to do to procur an eternal salvation for each believer was accomplished finally and for all time.

Yet, Catholicism seeks to add human effort and good works to the equation, and limits our access to God and his forgiveness to the dictates of a mere priest who stands in the way of the shed blood of Jesus Christ.

I believe that the Word of God tells us that we have a mediator, and it is not a man trained in the rudiments of his religious hierarchy.

“I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time” (I Timothy 2:1-6).

Would to God a man might see and understand this truth and proclaim, “Once I was blind, but now I see!” (John 9:25).
