For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith–and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.” (Ephesians 2:4-9) When you trusted Christ for the forgiveness of your sin, all your sins were forgiven...past, present and future.
