Forgiven

October 27, 2022

Devotions:

The greatest news today is that Jesus Christ is raised from the dead and is alive forever more. Jesus bore our sins in His own body on the cross. One died for all so all have died. We then died under the penalty of the law, in Christ Jesus. Our penalty for violation of God’s law has been paid in full. There is no longer any legal indictment against us.

“And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses; blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;” ‭Colossians‬ ‭2‬:‭13‬-‭14‬ ‭KJV‬‬

The indictment against Jesus, the indictment against us, was nailed to the cross when Jesus was crucified as the list of our crimes. Jesus’ sacrifice was fully satisfactory to the Father not for our sins only but for the sins of the whole world.

Then when Jesus was raised from the dead, we were raised with Him. He was raised in righteousness. We were raised in righteousness. He was raised in Holiness. We were raised in Holiness. Jesus entered boldly into the presence of the Father on our behalf and was fully accepted. We are fully accepted in the presence of the Father. That means that we can just bask in the love of the Father.

“who (Jesus) was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for our justification.” ‭Romans‬ ‭4‬:‭25‬ ‭KJV‬‬
