In Acts 10:43 Peter said to the house of Cornelius concerning Christ: To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins. Adam Clark says this about remission of sins: The phrase, remission of sins means simply the taking away of sins; and this does not refer to the guilt of sin merely, but also to its power, nature, and consequences. All that is implied in pardon of sin, destruction of its tyranny, and purification from its pollution, is here intended; and it is wrong to restrict such operations of mercy to pardon alone. Paul in Hebrews 10:17 said that when God remits sins he remembers them no more.
