Perhaps, this is the best book I can ever gift you. A well balanced approach on grace and sin.
The King James Version alone got this scripture correct.
John 20:23 (KJV)
“Whose soever sins ye remit, they are remitted unto them; and whose soever sins ye retain, they are retained.”
Jesus wasn’t talking about us being able to forgive the sins of other people; He was talking about us being able to “remit” or “retain” sins. To “remit" sins means to remove their negative consequences. To "retain" sins means to allow their negative consequences to come again or to be felt in order to affect someone.
Retaining or remitting sins is not meant to be done by one person; the word Jesus used for "you" there is in plural form. This is what Paul meant when he told the Corinthian church to deliver someone to the devil – they were supposed to retain his sins, causing the consequences of his sins (things like guilt, condemnation, demonic attacks, sickness, emotional problems, and even death) to be alive in his life so that he could repent because of them.
In this book, I will be talking about sin, its consequences, and why the church should strive for holiness. I know you know I teach a lot about grace, but grace can never be balanced if we don't mix it with other truths. The Bible says, "Grace and truth came through Jesus Christ." Let's talk about the truth of sin.
