Ephesians 1:7
“In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of His grace…”
It saddens me how many people of faith still walk around as if they have not been forgiven. Why is this? Our scripture verse for today affirms this truth—as do Charles Spurgeon’s words quoted below—we have no need to fear; God no longer condemns us; we are forgiven:
“I need not walk through the earth fearful of every shadow, and afraid of every man I meet, for sin is washed away; my spirit is no more guilty; it is pure, it is holy. The frown of God no longer resteth upon me; but my Father smiles, I see His eyes,—they are glancing love: I hear His voice,—it is full of sweetness. I am forgiven, I am forgiven, I am forgiven!”
Oh, how He loves us, dear friends! Embrace the truths of His forgiveness and love today!
Dear Jesus, please forgive my lack of faith in You for Your gift of forgiveness. Once and for all, I accept and embrace the truths that it is by grace I am saved by the blood You shed, You died for me to pay the penalty for my sins, You were raised from the dead to bring me eternal life, and You will come again in Your glory. Hallelujah! I am forgiven!
With eyes on Him,
