The blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin
“For there is not a just man upon earth, that does good and does not sin…for ALL have sinned and come short of the glory of GOD”.
To me this reality, the universal sinfulness of all persons in this world, young and old, all colors, creeds, philosophies and persuasions, rich, poor, and everyone in between is not a matter of some “doctrine” to give mental assent to. It is an ultimate, unarguable reality I find deep within myself and painfully evident in everyone I have ever known. We are all sinners.
People have sinned against me in my life, many I’m sure unintentionally and others intentionally. Sadly, the same can be said of me. I accept the many guilts of my life which I cannot deny. You should too.
There can only be a few reasons why most do not accept their personal guilt: obliviousness of their Creator’s moral standards, obliviousness of their own innumerable failures regarding those standards or just plain, old-fashioned PRIDE…which is itself our CORE SIN.
I am deeply grateful to GOD’s Son for becoming Man, for living the morally and spiritually perfect life I am completely unable to live- not even for one hour. I am thankful He chose to sacrifice His pure, innocent body and His precious lifeblood to satisfy the judicial punishment due me, and countless others for our transgressions against our Creator. All of these just charges against us were nailed to Him upon the cross.
That is why the cross is the focal point of true Christianity- because without it we have no hope of forgiveness nor any hope of eternal life.
You may choose to judge me, to find fault for my sins in this life; to, like satan, remind me of my past mistakes and short-comings- but before GOD I am free of all guilt, perfect and righteous in His sight just as His beloved Son YAHSHUA…JESUS.
This was not accomplished by any act on my part, any “good deed”, but only and solely by His sovereign GRACE, that is, unearned, undeserved MERCY graciously given me by His own choice.
At my judgment all accusations against me will fall flat. It doesn’t mean I didn’t commit those wrong acts. It means they no longer exist on GOD’s legal balance sheets. CHRIST's blood has wiped them out, and CHRIST is now my RIGHTEOUSNESS. PRAISE GOD!
May this reality be true for you as well; for no matter who you are- you too are a sinful person in need of redemption.
To all whom I have failed in this life, to any whom I have hurt by my actions, my choices- please know that I deeply regret all my countless moral failures in life especially when those failures have hurt others. I sincerely ask your forgiveness.
And to all those who have sinned against me, who have hurt or failed me, I say to all of you, sincerely: I truly forgive you and release you fully before GOD for these moral debts. May He not lay them to your account on the Day of Judgment.
