“In
Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins” Eph. 1:7
NKJV
What is the medical value of
forgiveness? The grace of God is a jewel
bag of enormous worth. That worth can be
seen in an area like medicine. Tens of
thousands of people suffer physical symptoms related to guilt. They seek hundreds of millions of dollars a
year in medical attention to heal what medicine cannot heal. The dollar cost of psychosomatic illness is
astounding.
What amazing grace we find in this offer
from God for forgiveness of sin. At the
cross of Calvary Jesus washed our sins away.
He carried them from us as far as the east is from the west. Daily He offers to cleanse us from the sin
that we commit. The absolution that He
offers is complete. He cleanses us from
“all unrighteousness”. What astounding measure
of grace it is that states, “I declare you not guilty.” That is what God in grace offers us through the
blood of His Son alone. We can receive
by faith the promise of forgiveness by God and rejoice in His grace.
Precious
Father, Give me calm and confident peace in Your forgiveness today. Amen.
