Blotting out sin does not negate the justifying blood of Jesus. Justification is eternal. His blood will cover our past pardoned sins for as long as time shall last. It will continually meet the demands of law and justice.

I disagree. How will His blood cover what no longer exists? Anyway, is it your contention that today we just need Christ's imputed righteousness to cover our sins?

?????
Christ justifies us by taking upon Himself our sins and giving us His righteousness.
He paid the penalty of the broken law upon the cross.
But
Christ will not bear our sins forever.
They are placed on the scape goat and burned into non-existance after the final judgment.

Sin will no longer exist as Roseangela pointed out.

The only sign that remains are the nail scares in Christ's hand as a memorial of salvation and God's great love.

The reason it no longer exists is because His blood eternally takes care of it. We never stop being redeemed. And, no, it takes sanctification to maintain the blessings of justification.

"God requires the entire surrender of the heart, before justification can take place; and in order for man to retain justification, there must be continual obedience, through active, living faith that works by love and purifies the soul. {FW 100.1}

Amen. We will never forget we were justified and redeemed.

Do current conditions suggest Jesus' arrival is more likely than before?

I didn't understand what the answer to Rosangela's question was:



Actually, I think this can be asked like this:

"Will we need Christ's righteousness at the time of trouble? Yes or No?"

Before when?

Need? It is an eternal reality. It will never cease being the truth. "Does the robe of Christ's righteousness continue to clothe the 144,000 after probation closes?" Of course! It will clothe them throughout eternity.


Before shortly after 1844 and before around 1888.

It doesn't appear to me you are addressing the question that's being asked. But maybe it doesn't matter.

Regarding whether Christ is nearer now than the times you mentioned, I don't think so, but I hope I'm wrong, for Christ's sake. I think 1888 was very, very close.
