“For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life. For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him.” John 3:16-17.
Today your LORD (יהוה) God (אלהים) says:
Jesus is My answer to everything mankind did wrong. He puts everything right by taking away all you did wrong—all evil, every evil work in you or by you—and giving you My righteousness.
He made Jesus who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him. 2 Corinthians 5:21.
Not anything you earn but as a gift to put you back right with Me as if nothing had ever gone wrong.
For if by the transgression of the one, death reigned through the one, much more those who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ. Romans 5:17.
Jesus makes it as if sin had never been. You have all been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. Jesus, having offered Himself as the sacrifice for sins for all time, sat down at My right hand, having made purification of sins. For by one offering He perfected for all time those who are being sanctified. And the Holy Spirit, who testifies to Jesus, also testifies to your spirit that there is now NO condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus because your sins and lawless deeds I remember no more. Hebrews 10:17, Romans 8:1. He bore them and paid your judgment due and satisfied your sentence. Isaiah 53:5.
When you were dead in your transgressions and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He made you alive together with Him, having forgiven us all our transgressions, having canceled out the certificate of debt consisting of decrees against us, which was hostile to us; and He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross. When He had disarmed the rulers and authorities, He made a public display of them, having triumphed over them through Him. Colossians 2:13-15.
He took them all on Himself and we took care of it, so it now is eradicated as if sin had never been.
For it was the Father’s good pleasure for all the fullness to dwell in Him, and through Him to reconcile all things to Himself, having made peace through the blood of His cross; through Him, I say, whether things on earth or things in heaven. And although you were formerly alienated and hostile in mind, engaged in evil deeds, yet He has now reconciled you in His fleshly body through death, in order to present you before Him holy and blameless and beyond reproach. Colossians 1:19-22.
Jesus makes you new. In Him I have made you a new creation, not the old sinner improved, but entirely new as if sin had never touched you at all. Old things are gone, have passed away, when Jesus died to sin once for all, you died with and in Him, and when I raised Him up, I raised you up with and in Him in newness of life. Old things are gone, the new things have come.
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come. 2 Corinthians 5:17.
Jesus is necessary. He is the only way home to Me. In Him, sin is not only forgiven, it is gone. When He died to sin once for all, you died, that is, the old you of sin. The whole history of evil works, the futile life of your ancestors, were gone, washed away in the blood of My Son and all became new, like the dawn of a new day.
Jesus takes care of your past, your present, and your future. He loves you and has released you from your sins by His blood and given you royal dignity.
Jesus Christ the faithful witness, the firstborn of the dead, and the ruler of kings on earth. To Him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by His blood and made us a kingdom, priests to his God and Father, to him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen. Revelation 1:5-6.
And when He took the scroll, the four living beings and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb. Each one had a harp, and they held gold bowls filled with incense, which are the prayers of God’s people. And they sang a new song with these words: “You are worthy to take the scroll and break its seals and open it. For you were slaughtered, and your blood has ransomed people for God from every tribe and language and people and nation. And you have caused them to become a Kingdom of priests for our God. And they will reign on the earth.” Revelation 5:8-10.
You are in Him a holy nation, My special treasure, a royal priesthood, and the people I called out of darkness into My own marvelous light! In Jesus I have rescued you from the power of darkness and translated you to the glorious Kingdom of My beloved Son, who is the light of the world.
The past is over, finished and gone, it’s time to step up and sing a new song. I am your God and I am calling to you, come live in the light of My love.
I love you and that is what the story of Salvation is all about. I wanted things back to be as I made them. And in Jesus I found the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to Me but through Him and that is the best way of all. As always, all I give you is the best. It is all very good and has been from the start.
In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of His grace which He lavished on us. In all wisdom and insight He made known to us the mystery of His will, according to His kind intention which He purposed in Him with a view to an administration suitable to the fullness of the times, that is, the summing up of all things in Christ. Ephesians 1:7-10.
