This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, says the Lord : I will put My laws into their hearts, and in their minds I will write them, then He adds, Their sins and their lawless deeds I will remember no more. Now where there is remission of these, there is no longer an offering for sin. (Hebrews 10:16-18 NKJV)
God says there is absolute forgiveness of our sins, and absolute cancellation of the penalty of sin for those who receive Christ. Your slate has been forever wiped clean...past, present, and future! There is no penalty to pay ever again for your sins or mine once we have been washed in the Blood. We can live free of the fear of judgement!
He goes on to say this to us:
let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water. (Hebrews 10:22 NKJV)
To get more clarity, the Message Bible says it this way:
So let's do it-full of belief, confident that we're presentable inside and out. (Hebrews 10:22 MSG)
Did you hear that? Through His body and His blood, HE has made us presentable to Himself, both inside and out, through and through. That is such good stuff! So many times, people think they have to clean up to get into His presence. But who is the only one who can clean us up, inside and out? Christ Jesus is that One. So, because you have asked Him into your heart, you have already been made presentable to the Father, and you can come boldly, without hesitation, into His most Holy presence. What a mighty God we serve!
Today, you can stop living through the lens of what you used to be before you met Him, or through the sins that you have committed. Get up, go into His presence like you belong there (as His child, you do!), ask for His forgiveness, and ask for His help. Walk out, confident that He remembers your sins and iniquities NO MORE...praise Him!
Walk in newness of life!
Love you all,
