In Him we have redemption through His blood, the
forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of His grace, which He
lavished upon us, in all wisdom and insight making known to us the mystery
of His will, according to His purpose, which He set forth in Christ as a plan
for the fullness of time, to unite all things in Him, things in heaven and
things on earth. – Ephesians 1:7-10
I sin. You
sin. With but One exception in the
person of Jesus Christ, everyone sins.
We have an enemy who wants each one of us to believe that
our sin is too big, too bad, and too dark to warrant forgiveness. He whispers tales of guilt and
condemnation into the deepest recesses of our hearts and minds. He is the accuser and he doesn’t want
us to experience the forgiveness that Christ made available to each one of us
through His death on the cross.
Jesus paid the ultimate price – the blood that would cover over all
sins. Not some sins. All sins. Not only your sins.
My sins. Not only the “little
white lie” kinds of sins. The
murderous, slanderous, defiling kinds of sins.
Don’t let the enemy convince you that Jesus’ blood was not
sufficient to cover your sins. His
blood was more than sufficient! In
Him, we have redemption – the forgiveness of sins! Forgiveness given in all wisdom and insight. Jesus knew how very bad the worst of
our worst sins would be. It
doesn’t matter. His blood was more
than sufficient.
Trust in Jesus and claim the truth that is found in His
Word:
If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to
forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. - I John 1:9
Don’t fall prey to the lies of the enemy. Don’t believe that you could never be
forgiven. Believing such lies
would mean that you believe Jesus’ sufferings, humiliation, pain and agony were
for nothing; that what He did for you and for me had no power and no
meaning. His blood was not in
vain.
Thank You, Jesus,
for Your sacrifice
for me!
That my forgiveness
is full and free
because of the price You paid on Calvary.
