What Joy For Those Whose Disobedience Is Forgiven, Whose Sins Are Put Out Of Sight

Jesus Christ, Our Living Hope

ROMANS 4:7-8
“”Blessed are those whose lawless deeds are forgiven, And whose sins are covered; Blessed is the man to whom the Lord shall not impute sin.”
”‭‭Romans‬ ‭4:7-8‬ ‭NKJV‬

We are all sinners in need of God’s forgiveness; If we say we have not sinned, we make Him a liar and His word is not in us (1 JOHN 1:10).
The Good News is, God has made away for all who believe in Him; He paid our penalty of sin which is death by taking our place on a cross and died for the redemption of our sins (ROMANS 3:21-31). Furthermore, God raised Him (Christ Jesus) from the dead, defeating sin and death for all time (ROMANS 6:8-10).
It’s like each of us has a book, a record of sin, and God removes every page that is marked by sin from its cover which has our name on it, and then replaces those pages with a copy of Christ perfect unblemished record, which are totally blank, unmarked, free from any mark of sin; fully justifying His people because Christ Jesus paid our debt of sin; therefore, both past, present, and future sins are covered by the blood of Christ Jesus, giving His people the confident hope of eternal life.
“Blessed is the man who to whom the Lord shall not impute sin”-attribute sin to Him simply because he believes in Christ Jesus. This is not just Good News, it is amazingly wonderful Good News, because regardless of past or even future sin, regardless of skin colour or race, or any situation or circumstance, God has made a way for you to receive the wonderful gift of eternal life. And that life which is more abundant (JOHN 10:10) starts the very moment you commit your life to God.
All you need do is believe on our Saviour Jesus Christ; that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved (JOHN 10:9).
We see today how our world is falling into utter chaos-corruption at the highest level of world and church leadership, we see lies and deceit pouring from the media, we see growing lawlessness, poverty, and our freedoms are systematically being stripped from us; our world is being ruled by dictatorship and even our weather systems are becoming more and more extreme.
All these things drive fear through the nation’s and as result we see growing mental health issues, anxiety/ depression, and even suicides are at a all time high. Furthermore, world war looms over us; surely it is time to seek and bow before the coming Judge Jesus Christ.
He said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.”
‭‭John‬ ‭14:6‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Make time for Jesus; He is your only hope; He came that you might have life, and have it more abundantly (JOHN 10:10). He came not to judge the world, but that He might save it (JOHN 3:17); He came to make a way for you and all you need do is believe and say yes and amen.
All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.
