Forgiveness (2)

Hello everyone,

How are you doing on this day? I hope well and bubbling in the Lord.

Primary Text

“In whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace;” Ephesians 1v7 (KJV)

“So overflowing is His kindness toward us that He took away all our sins through the blood of His Son, by whom we are saved;” Ephesians 1v7 (TLB)

Indeed we give all praise to God for His great grace which He has shown towards us and for the forgiveness of our sins through the shedding of the blood of our Lord Jesus Christ. Romans 4v7-8 (AMP) saying “Blessed and happy and to be envied are those whose iniquities are forgiven and whose sins are covered up and completely buried. Blessed and happy and to be envied is the person of whose sin the Lord will take no account nor reckon it against him.” Indeed, it is a blessing indeed, and it’s not because of our works or our righteousness (which are as filthy rags before Him), but because of Jesus. Colossians 1v21-23 (AMP) speaks of Jesus saying “And God purposed that through (by the service, the intervention of) Him [the Son] all things should be completely reconciled back to Himself, whether on earth or in heaven, as through Him, [the Father] made peace by means of the blood of His cross. And although you at one time were estranged and alienated from Him and were of hostile attitude of mind in your wicked activities, Yet now has [Christ, the Messiah] reconciled [you to God] in the body of His flesh through death, in order to present you holy and faultless and irreproachable in His [the Father’s] presence. [And this He will do] provided that you continue to stay with and in the faith [in Christ], well-grounded and settled and steadfast, not shifting or moving away from the hope [which rests on and is inspired by] the glad tidings (the Gospel), which you heard and which has been preached [as being designed for and offered without restrictions] to every person under heaven, and of which [Gospel] I, Paul, became a minister.”  

Prayer

Father, we once again thank You for life, for salvation and for the forgiveness of sins. Thank You so much Lord Jesus for laying down Your life for us. We love You Father, Son and Holy Spirit in Jesus name, amen.
