Oh, the pure blessing of being in Christ and knowing, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that all our sins…past, present, and future…are completely forgiven…covered by the blood of Jesus, “the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world (John 1:29).” Praise God from Whom all blessings flow!

Psalm32:1-2

1 How blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered! 2 How blessed is the man to whom the Lord does not impute iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no deceit!

1 Peter 2:21,

24 And [Jesus] Himself bore our sins in His body on the cross, so that we might die to sin and live to righteousness; for by His wounds you were healed. 25 For you were continually straying like sheep, but now you have returned to the Shepherd and Guardian of your souls.

“The assurance of [God’s] total forgiveness of our sins through the blood of Christ means we don’t have to play defensive games anymore. We don’t have to rationalize and excuse our sins. We can call sin exactly what it is, regardless of how ugly and shameful it may be, because we know that Jesus bore that sin in His body on the cross.” ~ Jerry Bridges

The Lord bless you and keep you…
