I just HAD to make sure that EVERYONE reading down to here did NOT miss the Truth!
Actually, while Jesus' process of fulfilling the requirements of the Mosaic/Davidic Covenant was completed at the Cross, it was not ratified until He, as the Eternal High Priest, successfully applied His Blood to the True Heavenly Mercy Seat (כּפּרת kappôreth, Hebrew; ιλαστηριον hilastayrion, Greek) which, when satisfying The God's righteous demands, and placating His fearsome wrath, made it possible for The Father to extend sonship to such humans as believe in His Blood:
"JesusWhom God hath set forth to be a propitiationιλαστηριον through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;Jesus' work was not finished until it was accepted by His Father as the complete payment for the human sin-debt in the currency of His Blood; whereby through faith in Him The Father could unilaterally extend to the believing and committed human the gifts of forgiveness and cleansing of sin, the imputed righteousness of Christ, and placement as His never-dying everlasting son and servant of Christ as Master.
To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus" (Rom 3:25,26 AV) AV.
It seems appropriate to say that it is one's faith in His Blood that counts, not just admitting the truth of His death.
