Yes. The forgiveness Christ secured at the cross covers past, present, and future sins for the believer.
Scripture says believers have redemption through Christ's blood, the forgiveness of sins, and that God has forgiven all trespasses. Les Feldick reinforces this by teaching that the moment a believer sins, he is already forgiven, and that no sin will ever be raised at the judgment seat of Christ.
Colossians 1:14 — Paul writes that believers have redemption through Christ's blood, the forgiveness of sins — a present, settled possession.
Colossians 2:13 — Paul says God has forgiven all trespasses of the believer, language that includes every sin ever committed.
Romans 4:7-8 — David describes the blessedness of the one whose iniquities are forgiven and to whom God does not impute sin.
The Bible presents the forgiveness of sins as a completed work of Christ on the cross. Colossians 1:14 says, "In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins" — a present possession for every believer, not a transaction repeated after each sin. Colossians 2:13 likewise tells believers that God has "forgiven you all trespasses." The word "all" leaves no sin outside its scope. In Romans 4:7-8, Paul quotes David: "Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered. Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin." This is the scriptural language of total forgiveness and non-imputation. The Bible also teaches that Christ's death was for all. Hebrews 2:9 says He "tasted death for every man," and 2 Corinthians 5:14 says, "if one died for all, then were all dead."
Les Feldick teaches that when Christ died, He took the sin of every human being who has ever lived, and that sins were already forgiven and buried "in the deepest sea." He repeatedly says believers will never face their sins, because sin was judged at the cross and is under the blood. He tells believers who fear past failure: all your sin has been forgiven; it has been wiped off the slate; God will never confront you with sin again. He also teaches that forgiveness is immediate for the believer: the moment a believer sins, he is forgiven, even before he can confess it. At the judgment seat of Christ, the Bema, no believer's sin will be presented; it is strictly a review of works and rewards. Les is careful to add that this is not a license to sin. It is simply the grace of God. For those who never believe, Les says their sins are already forgiven too, but they are lost because they do not appropriate by faith the pardon Christ accomplished.
No. Les Feldick uses the Greek word Bema to clarify that the judgment seat of Christ is a review of believers' works, not their sins. He says no believer's sin will be presented at the Bema; sins were paid for at the cross and will never be brought up. In the same way, he answers believers who fear past sins by telling them the Scripture teaches all their sin has been forgiven and wiped off the slate. This is a distinct biblical truth: the believer gives an account for works, not for sins.
Les anticipates this objection. When he says a believer is forgiven the moment he sins — even before confession — some respond, "That's licensed." He disagrees: "No, it isn't. That's not licensed." Instead, he calls it simply the grace of God. The truth that God never accuses the believer of sin does not give permission to sin; it reveals the greatness of the grace that purchased forgiveness at the cross.
Les goes further and says Christ took on Himself the sin of every human being who has ever lived. When He died, those sins were forgiven and buried. Therefore, even lost people slip into eternity with their sins already forgiven. Their problem is unbelief: they do not appropriate the pardon that the cross accomplished. At the Great White Throne, the issue is not that their sin was not paid for; it is that they would not believe what God said about the work of the cross.
Complete Forgiveness Through Redemption
Les shows from Colossians 1:14 that redemption through Christ's blood includes the forgiveness of sins, and that believers will never face their sin in glory because it was already judged at the cross.
Sins Under the Blood
Les says believers will never stand before Christ with sin on their back; sins are forgiven, under the blood, and buried beyond retrieval.
Forgiven at the Moment of Sin
Les teaches a believer is forgiven the moment he sins, even before confession, because God's ledger has been wiped clean and His righteousness has been credited.
Christ Paid for Every Human Being
Les explains that Christ took the sin of every person who has ever lived, so even lost people leave this life with their sins already forgiven.
Pardon Must Be Appropriated by Faith
Les compares salvation to pardon: every human being has already been pardoned by the cross, but only those who believe receive it; unbelief is what keeps a person lost.
The Bema Reviews Works, Not Sin
Les clarifies that the judgment seat of Christ is a review of believers' works, with no sin ever presented, because all sin was paid for at the cross.
Sin Debt Paid for All
Les says Christ paid the sin debt for every human being, citing Hebrews 2:9 and 2 Corinthians 5, so no one at the Great White Throne will face sin as the unpaid cause.
God Never Confronts a Believer With Sin
Les reassures believers that all their sin has been wiped off the slate and God will never again confront them with sin.
Colossians 1:14: In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:
This verse ties forgiveness directly to redemption through Christ's blood and presents it as a present possession for the believer.
Colossians 2:13: And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses;
Paul says believers have been forgiven all trespasses, a statement that leaves no sin outside the scope of Christ's payment.
Romans 4:7-8: Saying, Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered. Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin.
This passage describes the blessedness of forgiveness and declares that God does not impute sin to the forgiven believer.
2 Corinthians 5:14: For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead:
Les uses this verse to show that Christ's death was for all, demonstrating that the sin debt was paid for every person.
Hebrews 2:9: But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man.
This verse affirms that Christ tasted death for every man, which Les cites as evidence that sins have been fully paid for.
Yes. Les Feldick teaches that a believer is forgiven the moment he sins, even before he can confess, because the sin debt was paid in full at the cross. God never accuses a believer of sin still on the ledger; it has been wiped clean.
No. The judgment seat, or Bema, is only a review of believers' works and rewards. Sins were judged at the cross, and no believer's sin will be presented at the Bema.
No. Les rejects the idea that this is a license. He says, "No, it isn't. That's not licensed. That's just simply the grace of God." The believer is forgiven by grace, but that does not mean sin is approved or ignored in the Christian life.
For the believer, even unconfessed sin is already forgiven. Les uses the example of sinning that morning before the Lord's return: the believer need not fear hearing, "Wait a minute, you haven't taken care of that." The moment the believer sins, he is forgiven.
