Scripture: Romans 8: 1-2
Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, 2 because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit who gives life has set you[a] free from the law of sin and death.
Scripture Commentary:
You were truly guilty. We all were. The fact is that the whole human race is guilty of sin and belongs on the road to damnation. But Jesus, through His death on the cross, has set you free! Without Christ, you would have no hope at all.
God loves you so much that He gave His only begotten Son for your sins.
Repent and give yourself to God and all charges and sins are dropped. Your slate is wiped clean. Jesus did this for you. He will present you to the Father and plead for you.
Before Jesus, the Israelites made blood sacrifices for their sins. But once Jesus’s blood was sacrificed on the cross, animal sacrifices were needed no more. If not for Jesus, you would be in Satan’s control for all time.
“Amazing grace, how sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me! I once was lost but now am found, was blind but now I see.”*
Can you imagine that? Without God’s Son and love for you, where would you be?
The Holy Spirit is in you now by faith, and by faith you are certain to live with Jesus Christ forever.
