Therefore, my friends, I want you to know that through Jesus,
the forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you.
Through him, everyone who believes is set free from every sin,
a justification you were not able to obtain under the law of Moses.
Acts 13:38-39
For everyone who believes claims the promise that their sins are forgiven because of Jesus Christ.
All are welcome to believe in Christ for forgiveness. No sin is too great.
God is no respecter of persons. He favours no one. Jesus accepts any who come sincerely in repentance and faith.
As believers, we have a new identity as children of God. We belong to the family of God.
This is because Jesus died on the cross to set us free from sin.
We know that and believe that.
With Christ’s power, we can overcome any sin.
We are not stuck in our sin.
And the law of Moses never gave us freedom from sin.
All human striving to keep the law in order to gain God’s favour are worthless.
Forgiveness and the power to overcome sin are not within human ability.
Only God can forgive and give us the power to live in obedience to His will.
We find salvation and freedom from sin only in Jesus Christ.
Many don’t understand that it is everything God does to save us. We cannot save ourselves by our own striving, efforts, or work.
It is a gift of grace, given freely for our freedom.
Let us thank Jesus today.
For those who want to believe and don’t know how, simply ask Jesus to forgive your sins and help you believe in Him and overcome sin with His power.
Believe in the Lord Jesus and you will be saved. (Acts 16:31)
