“All That Came Before”

Tuesday, January 29, 2013

I understand the fact that all sins are deadly sins and that we will be judged accordingly.  I know that as Christians, we must repent.  My question is: what about the sins that were committed before baptism?  I understand that baptism washes away sins, but ANY and ALL sins??  What about murder and/or abortion?  Thanks for this website; I know this will help with questions in the future.

Sincerely,
What About The REALLY Bad Stuff?

Dear What About The REALLY Bad Stuff,

Baptism washes away all sins because baptism buries the old you.  Baptism is a burial with Christ (Rom 6:3-4).  The old sinful you is gone when you come out of the water.  Jesus’ death on the cross paid the price for all our sins (1 Jn 1:7).  There is no sin that is beyond the power of Christ’s blood to remove.
