The Forgiven
He declared us
not guilty because of His great kindness.
And now we
know that we will inherit eternal life.
(NLT)
Because our gracious Lord
God and Savior died naked, nailed to a dead tree and received the eternal
punishment that we deserve (a task that no One else could have accomplished), we
are now offered to receive His robe of righteousness and stand blameless before
the Throne of God. Christ Jesus died for
the sins of mankind; sins and rebellion against the Most Holy One who created
us. And because of His selfless act of
love and sacrifice, we have the incredible opportunity to share in the Glory of
His eternal inheritance, for 0ur Savior is now our Advocate in Heaven,
declaring forgiven sinners not guilty, even though we remain sinners.
This forgiveness, if
accepted, is the most awesome gift that you will ever receive. So, it is only right that you, who have
accepted this incredible gift of total forgiveness, give the Lord the glory and
honor that is due. And the best way you
can do that, is by godly living, loving the unlovable, and letting the world
know about His saving grace. You must
live to please God. You must live a life
of repentance. You must let the transforming
power of the Holy Spirit change the way you think, speak, and act. And even though you cannot live a sinless and
perfect life this side of Heaven, you have the peace of God knowing that one
day you will.
A Whisper of Hope
Be not afraid, My child...for I have saved you from your sin. You no longer have to fear death, because I
died the death you deserve. Your crime
has been paid for and you have been set free.
You have been forgiven.

Corinthians 1:8
He will keep
you strong right up to the end, and
He will keep
you free from all blame on the great
day when our
Lord Jesus Christ returns. (NLT)
So we praise God for the
wonderful
kindness He has
poured out on us
because we belong to His dearly loved Son.
(Ephesians 1:6)
