Title: How to Live Guilt Free?
Text:
1 John 1:9 (HCSB)
9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
Observation:
Today's focal text is the favorite verse of one of my dear friends. There is great value in being able to remove from our lives the guilt associated with past or present sins.
This is especially significant when we realize that the price for our sins has already been paid in full by our Lord and Savior Jesus the Messiah of God.
2 Corinthians 5:21 (HCSB)
21 He made the One who did not know sin to be sin for us, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.
This is indeed goodnews; the amazing grace of God, who in the person of Jesus exchanged our sins for His righteousness.
Those who are recipients of this amazing grace gift have been given the privilege of sharing this goodnews.
Matthew 28:19-20 (HCSB)
19 Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,
20 teaching them to observe everything I have commanded you. And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age."
Do you know that if you are a recipient of this grace gift provided by Jesus; that if Christ lives in you, then you are an ambassador for Christ.
2 Corinthians 5:19-21 (HCSB)
19 That is, in Christ, God was reconciling the world to Himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and He has committed the message of reconciliation to us.
20 Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, certain that God is appealing through us. We plead on Christ's behalf, "Be reconciled to God."
21 He made the One who did not know sin to be sin for us, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.
Are you telling the goodnews that Jesus saves?
Romans 10:13 (KJV)
13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
Prayer:
Father, hallowed be Your name. Father, thank You for sending Jesus into the world to become our sin bearer.
John 3:16 (KJV)
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
Father, I am so glad that I can say with the saints of the ages, "Jesus loves me this I know, for the bible tells me so". In the mighty name of Jesus I pray, Amen.
Isaiah 55:11 (KJV)
11 So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.
