Meditate On
Therefore let it be known to you, brethren, that through this Man is
preached to you the forgiveness of sins; and by Him everyone who
believes is justified from all things from which you could not be
justified by the law of Moses.

Your Part Is To Believe
|
|
If there’s a part for you to play in the new covenant of grace it is
simply this: to believe. So what does God want you to believe? He wants
you to believe in Jesus and His finished work, that you are completely
forgiven of all your sins and that Jesus’ blood cleanses you from all
your unrighteousness and lawlessness. And because of Jesus’ atoning
sacrifice, God wants you to believe with all your heart that He meant
every word when He said, “...I will be merciful to their
unrighteousness, and their sins and their lawless deeds I will remember
no more” (Hebrews 8:12).
In
God’s eyes today, you are made perfectly righteous by Jesus’ finished
work. The new covenant’s emphasis is to believe that you are forgiven of
every sin and that God has erased them from His memory. If you don’t
believe this, it will be impossible for you to depend on and expect God
to protect, provide for and bless you. If you don’t believe this, it
will rob you of the ability to receive His goodness, blessings,
unmerited favor and success in your life. So believe. Only believe!
