| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the debrief podcast with Matthew Stephen Brown. |
| 0:06.1 | On this show, Pastor Matt sits down with his friends to answer your questions about life, Jesus, and the Bible. |
| 0:14.5 | Let's get into the episode. |
| 0:20.6 | Welcome to the debrief podcast with Pastor Matthew Stephen Brown. How you doing? Good. Thanks for having me. Love it. Awesome. I'm Donna Martin. Get to be your host. And I'm excited to hear you answer these questions. I know. These are some great ones, man. These are fantastic. Thank you for sending in your questions. We love hearing from you, and we love hearing Pastor Matt's perspective about this. |
| 0:38.8 | So this is John from Riverside. |
| 0:41.1 | He says, what if I can't remember all my sinful acts to confess? |
| 0:44.9 | I've been a sinner for a very long time, and I have done and said a lot of bad things. |
| 0:50.5 | Yeah. |
| 0:50.8 | So my question, and again, a podcast isn't a pastor. |
| 0:53.5 | So if I was sitting now with John, my question would be, what is your concern? Is this a salvation issue? Or is this just a relational issue? And so we have to understand that when we become born again, we are saved. And so the issue really is the conflation of two words. And I think you and I've talked |
| 1:11.1 | about this before. The English word judgment and condemnation. And so Jesus Christ absolves us |
| 1:17.4 | from the penalty of sin. The wages of sin are is death. And so a lot of Christians have forgotten |
| 1:23.5 | this. And you know John 316, right? So for God to love the world that he gave his only |
| 1:28.7 | begotten son that whosoever should believe with him shall not perish but have everlasting life. |
| 1:33.4 | So what Jesus offers is eternal life. In contrast to death. So the wages of sin is death, |
| 1:40.5 | the gift of God is eternal life. Both Christians and non-Christians face judgment. And so I think |
| 1:45.2 | the fear is, with a lot of people, is, well, if I have unconfessed sin, will I be saved? Of course. |
| 1:51.8 | Of course. Here's the difference. Confessed sin, 1 John 1.9. If we confess our sins to him, |
| 1:58.9 | he is faithful and just, so there's justice, to cleanse us of all in righteousness. |
| 2:03.9 | So confessed sin will not be brought up on judgment day. |
| 2:06.8 | It's gone as far as the east is from the west. |
| 2:10.1 | So here's where Christians get wonky. |
