OUR SINLESS SUBSTITUTE
9 stars|12 comments|June 03, 2009|198 reads
 



2:2 and he is the expiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the sins of the whole world.


 He Himself is the propitiation for our sins.
Many people think it's necessary to negotiate with God in order to be accepted by Him. They pray, "Lord, I'll do this for You if You'll do that for me." But Christ has done everything necessary to fulfill any vow we could make to "better ourselves" in God's eyes. On these terms we can come to God freely, knowing we are forgiven fully.

What a joyous reality!

As our sinless substitute before God, Jesus poured out His life on the Cross.  Since Jesus is absolutely perfect, God sees the record of His sinless life instead of our sin and accepts us completely.

Amen!  And the grace does not stop with the gift of rightousness!  It extends to the gift of Christ being our very life!  By grace we are also completely free from the power of sin, the law, and from our own self (e.g. flesh) to live a brand new life by walking in the Spirit of the Living God.  A life with the very fruit of the spirit that has no law against it.  Redeemed from the futile way of life that we inherited from our forefathers to live righteously and godly in Christ Jesus!  The grace of God teaching us to deny ungodliness and worldly desires!

Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ!!!

Blessings!
