The Bible teaches us that not only does God forgive us, but he removes our condemnation. Grace brings freedom. It provides healing for the soul. Sins are not only forgiven, but God lifts our sentence of guilt. Shame is erased.
Main Points:
1. There is one universal thing every human has in common. We are all sinners. We have all made mistakes. We all have failures and shortcomings.
2. The story of the gospel is that Jesus has come to save us from our sins. Jesus died on the cross, taking the penalty for our sins and satisfying the justice of a righteous and holy God. Out of His love and grace, he offers us forgiveness of our sins, as we place our faith in Him and confess Him as our Lord and Savior.
3. Stop and think about these words. No condemnation. Not a hint, not a whisper, not even a shadow of it. The believer stands before the throne of God, not as a condemned criminal awaiting punishment, but as a redeemed child embraced by the loving arms of the Father.
