Good Morning Beauties!
To be forgiven - it’s a difficult concept to wrap our head around. It’s even harder at times to receive a complete pardon. Why? Is it because of conditional worldly standards? Did someone withhold forgiveness from you?
To be justified - perhaps we should look at the definition. “In Christian theology, justification is God's righteous act of removing the guilt and penalty of sin while, at the same time, declaring the ungodly to be righteous through faith in Christ's atoning sacrifice.”
The enemy uses guilt and shame to keep us from receiving the gift of forgiveness and justification. Always remember John 10:10, “The enemy came ONLY to steal, kill, and destroy…” It’s all he can do. Has he stolen your peace and ability to believe your sins, all of them, have been erased, washed clean, completely forgotten? Selah.
Let’s look at truth. You ARE forgiven. You ARE justified. Here’s what the Word of God says, “You see, God takes all our crimes—our seemingly inexhaustible sins—and removes them. As far as east is from the west, He removes them from us.” Psalm 103:12 Voice translation.
Will you receive His gift of forgiveness today? The work has already been done on the cross. Will you open your heart and show Jesus every part and accept the fact, the truth, He sees your sin and still loves and forgives you? Selah.
Love and Blessings,
Kendra
