Also, we are told (have to look it up) that once we confess our sins, God no longer remembers them.
He also said that not everyone who says to me, Lord, Lord...
Could that be a saying to mean in the hands of Christ. We die in the natural and it takes whatever time to be in the spiritual Home. Right a away or whatever I am still trusting in Christ period. He will do all the rest no matter in my eyes. I do not worry too much on the how. Look if we do not understand and still believe in the true Christ he will meet us where we are at in life. I pray for him to watch over me and help till and beyond the hour of death. A humble and contrite heart he will not ignore. May God Bless you and Guide you! Praise Jesus!
