Keep things in check.



If you are like me I need a reminding of where I am in Christ. I have done nothing on my own, Jesus has done everything for my salvation. This scripture reminds me of this fact:

Psalm 51:1-2

Have mercy upon me, O God,
According to Your lovingkindness;
According to the multitude of Your tender mercies,
Blot out my transgressions.
2 Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity,
And cleanse me from my sin.

And a couple others too:

Isaiah 43:25

“I, even I, am He who blots out your transgressions for My own sake;
And I will not remember your sins.

2 Corinthians 5:17-21

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. 18 Now all things are of God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation, 19 that is, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing their trespasses to them, and has committed to us the word of reconciliation.
20 Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ’s behalf, be reconciled to God. 21 For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.

It is all God brothers and sisters, cleansing us from sin and bringing us to Himself by the blood of Jesus! What a loving God! all that is left up to us is faith! Do you have the faith?
