Summary: Wow!
1. At the moment of salvation we are Reconciled by God and to God (Rom.5:10/2 Cor.5:18,20).
2. Redeemed (Col. 1:14/1 Pet.1:18-19).
3. Forgiven ALL sins (1 Pet. 2:14/Eph.1:7b/Col.1:14; 2:13; 3:13).
Keep in mind it is necessary to distinguish between the complete permanent and judical forgiveness received at the moment one believes on Christ, and the repeated forgiveness in the family of God, which is parental and relates to the believers fellowship.
4. Identification with Christ.
With His death, burial, resurrection, assension and session (Rom. 6).
5. Free from the Law. (Rom. 7:4,6; 6:14/Gal.3:25/2 Cor. 3:11)
6. A son of God. (1 Jn.3:2/Gal.3:26; 4:5-7)
Born again (Jn. 1:12-13; 3:7); made alive (Col.2:13/Ep.2:1); new creature (2 Cor.5:21/Gal.6:15/Ep.2:10); and regenerated (Tit.3:5/Jn.13:10/1 Cor. 6:11).
