Grace

Believer...

Jesus died once. His blood cleansed our conscience "from acts that lead to death, so that we may serve the living God" (Hebrews 9:14). His sacrifice did away with sin permanently (Hebrews 9:26). He carried out the will of His Father. He finished His work.

In Jesus's selfless act, God condemned sin. He judged it and punished it by pouring out His wrath on Jesus. The Lamb of God died in my place and your place.

Two thousand years ago, God remembered your sins. Because of the worth and power of the blood of Jesus. God remembered them no more. Your debt is paid in full.

This is what God has done with your sins. He removed your sins. He sent them away. He is remembering them no more. This is forgiveness.

This is the gift of Grace.
