Things that accompany Christ

A True Knowledge of God in Christ comes with Christs Death, its a Covenant Death,

Heb 8:11

11 And they shall not teach every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest.

Jesus was speaking as the Covenant Surety when He spake here Jn 17:2-3

2 As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him.

3 And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.

No such thing as a death covenant
 
Understanding the giving of Christ is an New Covenant Blessing, and with Him God gives us all things Rom 8:32

32 He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?
God will give with Christ New Covenant Blessings, like a New Heart Ezk 36:26


A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh.

In fact all the Spiritual Blessings needed to cause a life of godliness, come in and through Christ, with Him 2 Pet 1:3-4

3 According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue:

4 Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises[Of the New Covenant]: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.
 
Understanding the giving of Christ is an New Covenant Blessing, and with Him God gives us all things: They are unconditionally applied unto all for whom He died

Heb 8:10-12

10 For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people:

11 And they shall not teach every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest.

12 For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.
 
Pardon of sin or forgiveness of sin is one of the spiritual blessings freely given with Christ. Rom 8:32

He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?
Now the words freely give in the original χαρίζομαι:
to do something pleasant or agreeable (to one), to do a favour to, gratify

  1. to show one's self gracious, kind, benevolent
  2. to grant forgiveness, to pardon

So if we are one of the "us all" He was delivered up for, or in behalf of, we will with Him receive to our account legally forgiveness of sins, freely bestowed.

its the same word Paul used here in the matter of forgivenss for the sake of Christ Eph 4:32

32 And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.

So Jesus is exalted to give it along with repentance Acts 5:31

31 Him hath God exalted with his right hand to be a Prince and a Saviour, for to give repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins.

Frankly, its impossible for Christ to have died for someone and they dont have forgivenss of sins with God
 
Another blessing which comes with or accompanies Christ, His Death,

Its to be washed from our sins Rev 1:5

5 And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,
Was this b4 we believed ? Yes most definitely. Did He love us b4 we believed ? He sure did.

The word washed is an aorist verb participle denoting normally past tense, its a finished work and it means:

luó: To loose, to release, to dissolve, to break, to destroy

basically by His blood He has loosed us from the penalty and power of sin

to release one bound by the chains of sin, ἐκ τῶν ἁμαρτιῶν, Revelation 1:5

Revelation 1:5 celebrates the fruit of that victory: Jesus Christ “loved us and released us from our sins by His blood”. The shedding of blood effects a permanent emancipation. https://biblehub.com/greek/3089.htm

Im remined of Jesus words here Jn 8:34-36

34 Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin.

35 And the servant abideth not in the house for ever: but the Son abideth ever.

36 If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.

Also Hebrews 1:3

3 Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high:

These things are freely given us with Christ Death for us Rom 8:32

32 He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?

Its not possible for any sinner Christ loved and gave Himself for, not to be washed from their sins, loosed from them.
