And this, so an individual to seriously confess Jesus just like the Lord, there can not be one unrighteousness, (sin), where that person was held accountable during the time of confession
To confess Jesus as Lord implies that an individual’s being and lifestyle is compatible with the Righteousness of Jesus Christ and His Lordship. The dilemma is that since all men have sinned and continually fall short of the glory of God, (Ro 3:23), no individual can out of his personal accord truly confess Jesus as Lord at any time. On the other hand, through a moment of faith alone in Christ’s atoning sacrifice for the sins of all mankind, an individual is justified, i.e., credited with an eternal Righteousness from God, (Ro 3:21-26), which forgives all of that individual’s sins – past, present and future, relative to eternal life forever and cleanses that individual from the accountability of temporal sins up to that time of the moment of faith; whereupon that individual is for the moment in a position of temporal righteousness and fellowship with the Lord.
