Thursday, August 26, 2021 He Can Make All Things New "In fact, according to the Law of Moses, nearly everything was purified with blood. For without the shedding of blood, there is no forgiveness" (Hebrews 9:22 NLT). William Penn, the founder of Pennsylvania, wrote, "No pain, no palm; no thorns, no throne; no gall, no glory; no cross, no crown." We love the idea of Heaven, hope, and forgiveness, but none of it would be possible without the death of Jesus on the cross. Jesus said, "For this is my blood, which confirms the covenant between God and his people. It is poured out as a sacrifice to forgive the sins of many" (Matthew 26:28 NLT). And Hebrews 9:22 tells us, "Without the shedding of blood, there is no forgiveness" (NLT). Let's say, for example, that you're struggling with guilt over a sin that you committed years ago. It may have been a very serious sin, and you can't seem to let it go. You're saying, "I just need to forgive myself." But can you actually forgive yourself? No. You're not in a position to forgive yourself. Instead, you need to understand the power and completeness of God's forgiveness that was purchased for you by the blood of Jesus Christ. |
