Christians, who is held responsible for your sins? Only you or also your friends and/or family?

This is specifically for Christians...please support opinions with scripture.

Ezekiel 18:20 and Deuteronomy 5:9

    Remember that the blood of Jesus covers all sins. When you become saved God casts your sins as far as the east is from the west, so He gets rid of your sins. You are completely forgiven through the sacrifice of Jesus! Read (Ephesians 1:7, Psalm 103:12 and 1 John 1:7 and 9). I hope that I answered your question, if you have any other questions feel free to e-mail me.

    Christ paid the price for my sins. He was already held responsible for them.
