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!
