How many of our trespasses has Christ forgiven?
Christ has forgiven all of our trespasses—every one from start to finish. According to Colossians 2:13, believers who were dead in sins have been made alive together with Him, having forgiven all trespasses. All are forgiven; none remain unforgiven.
Les explains that Colossians 2:13-15 addresses believers, members of the Body of Christ—not Jews, not those in some religious system. As Gentiles, we were dead in our sins and the uncircumcision of our flesh, just as lost as anyone could be.

And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses;
