And when Jesus declared, 'It is finished,' He meant it. Gods punishment for our sin was paid for, permanently settled, finished 100 percent. If you have responded in faith to Gods free pardon through Jesus, then God will never punish you for your sin. Its finished. No more. If you screw up today or tomorrow (which you will), its already been paid for through Jesus. 'There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus,' Paul said (Rom. 8: 1). None. God will not and cannot condemn you after He has already condemned Jesus for you. Its impossible. God will never be angry with you since His anger was poured out on Jesus. All of it. One hundred percent.Charis: God's Scandalous Grace for Us (p. 169).
