and haughty,[the self-righteousness, workers of iniquity] but gives [the gift of] grace [blesses His people] James 4:6
O love the Lord, all you His godly ones! The Lord preserves the faithful [those reconciled to God] And fully repays the [self-righteousness of the] arrogant. Ps 31:23

knowing that from the Lord Christ Jesus you will receive the reward of the inheritance; But he who does wrong will be repaid for what he has done, and there is no partiality. Col 3:24-25

It's strange how some people preach only "some" of our sins are forgiven....nailed to the cross.
2 Col 2:
13 When you were dead in your trespasses and in the uncircumcision of your sinful nature, God made you alive with Christ.
He forgave us
all our trespasses,
14 having canceled the debt ascribed to us in the decrees that stood against us. He took it away, nailing it to the cross!
All would be past, present and future sins imputed to Christ Jesus.
In life, after being saved, ALL Christians will sin. (except for a few posters here).........Keeping in mind, salvation is not a license to sin.
A few posters here run amok claiming to be sinless, while denying the Lord Jesus; Their sin increased against me; So I will turn their glory into shame. Hosea 4:7

Most confess their sins but never repent from them to be Gods righteous.
But the Law came to increase
and expand [the awareness of] the trespass [by defining and unmasking sin]. But where sin increased, [God’s remarkable, gracious gift of] grace surpassed it; Rom 5:20

They love that sin more then they love the One who takes away sin.
So that, [just] as sin has reigned in death, [so] grace (His unearned and undeserved favor) might reign also through righteousness (right standing with God) which issues in eternal life through Jesus Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One) our Lord. Rom 5:21
It is through our Lord Jesus Christ that we have received grace (God’s unmerited favor) and apostleship to promote the faith among all nations;
And you also are among those who are called to belong to Jesus Christ. Rom 1:4-6

Not for you for to you sin takes presence of righteousness where to you His ways are gnostic lies.
Who is the gnostic liar? It is whoever denies that Jesus is the Christ. Such a person is the antichrist—denying the Father and the Son. 1 John 2:22
That is what I keep telling you, because to you His ways are gnostic lies, that agnostic spirit you carry is so antichrist.
You're entitled to your blind gnostic opinion.
For as many as are the promises of God, they all found in Christ Jesus. 2 Cor 1:20 But it is from God that you have your life in Christ Jesus, Whom God made our Wisdom from God, [who revealed to us a knowledge of the divine plan of salvation previously hidden, manifested in Christ Jesus. 1 Cor 1:30
