Ryan Rufus on Asking Forgiveness for Sin

"As a New Covenant born again believer, to now go and ask forgiveness after you have sinned - is a sin. It is the sin of unbelief. You don't believe in the finished work of the Cross. You are trying to do something and don't realise it is already done!".

Ryan Rufus - "Totally Forgiven! Totally United! Totally Filled!" - Grace and Glory Conference - The Philippines - Tuesday 26th April 2011.

Bill Johnson and Kris Vallotton on Sin Conciousness

"Religion rubs our noses in the past to keep us humble. Reviewing the sinfulness of our past in order to become humble is a perversion. It actually creates shame and shame is a poor counterfeit of humility. Shame is the fruit of humiliation that works against the truth. To maintain conciousness of our sinful past to help us become more humble is the cruelty of a religious spirit; it requires us to keep something in our minds that isn't in God's. In reality it is much more humbling to live in the liberty of unearned forgiveness. When we are forgiven the King gives us permission to live as though we had never sinned".

Bill Johnson and Kris Vallotton - "The Supernatural Ways of Royalty - Discovering your rights and privilidges of being a son or daughter of God" - Destiny Image Publication (2006) - (p52).

Joseph Prince on Confessing Sin

"Confessing your sins all the time will only make you more sin-concious. But knowing you are under Jesus' waterfall of forgiveness will keep you forgiveness-concious. And knowing that you are forgiven of all your sins will give you the power to reign over every destructive habit and live a life of victory!".

Joseph Prince - "Destined To Reign" - Harrison House Publishers, Tulsa (2007) - (p109).

John Piper on God's Justice in Forgiveness

"The promise that frees us from an unforgiving, bitter, vengeful spirit is the promise that God will settle our accounts. He will do it more justly and more thoroughly than we ever could. Therefore we can back off and "leave room for God" to work".

John Piper - "Future Grace" - IVP, Leicester (1995) - (p264).

John Piper on God's Future Vengance

"This future grace of God's judgement is promised to us as a means of helping us overcome a spirit of revenge and bitterness ... Paul's argument is that we should not take vengeance because vengeance belongs to the Lord. And to motivate us to lay down our vengeful desires, He gives us a promise - which we now know is a promise of future grace - "I will repay" says the Lord".

John Piper - "Future Grace" - IVP, Leicester (1995) - (p264).

John Piper on Forgiveness as Future Grace

"Living by faith in future grace involves overcoming vengeance and bitterness by trusting God to settle all our accounts justly".

John Piper - "Future Grace" - IVP, Leicester (1995) - (p261).

John Piper on Forgiveness

"What I find in the New Testament is that one powerful way of overcoming bitterness and revenge is to have faith in the promise that God will settle accounts with our offenders so that we don't have to".

John Piper - "Future Grace" - IVP, Leicester (1995) - (p261).
