I would say yes!
When you or I sin, it's the same kind of rebellion.
We are saying He is not worthy!
In His mercy, He forgives us if we repent!
This is to myself as well as other sinners.
Belief in Christ, in His ability to give salvation to the lost who are headed for destruction.
This power which has been granted Him by God who is the giver of all life and your repentance from sin.
It's a unwarranted gift which can't be earned given to believers.
In spite of all this, they still sinned; despite his wonders, they did not believe. - Psalm 78:32
He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth; like a lamb that is led to the slaughter, and like a sheep that before its shearers is silent, so he opened not his mouth. - Isaiah 53:7
Do not repay evil for evil or reviling for reviling, but on the contrary, bless, for to this you were called, that you may obtain a blessing. - 1 Peter 3:9
Consider him who endured from sinners such hostility against himself, so that you may not grow weary or fainthearted. - Hebrews 12:3
67 Then they spit in his face and struck him. And some slapped him,
68 saying, "Prophesy to us, you Christ! Who is it that struck you?" - Matthew 26:67-68
30 And they spit on him and took the reed and struck him on the head.
31 And when they had mocked him, they stripped him of the robe and put his own clothes on him and led him away to crucify him. - Matthew 27:30-31
10 let it be known to all of you and to all the people of Israel that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead-by him this man is standing before you well.
11 This Jesus is the stone that was rejected by you, the builders, which has become the cornerstone.
12 And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved." - Acts 4:10-12
