What is the Remission of Sins?

Jesus's blood was shed for many for the remission of sins (Matthew 26:28).

"Remission of sins" means:
 • His blood was shed as a payment for our sins
 • Forgiveness of sins as if they had never been committed
 • Pardon of sins as if they had never been committed
 • Release from bondage to sin
 • Release from imprisonment to sin
 • Release from the penalty of sin
 • Release from the debt of sin
 • Cancellation of the debt of sin
 • Deliverance from sin
 • Freedom from sin
 • Christ takes people out of sin, He takes it away from them, and then places those who trust Him in Himself

Once you were far away from God, but now you have been brought near to him through the blood of Christ. Now you have been united with Christ Jesus. (Ephesians 2:13)
