Good morning friends. Sharing once more from my devotion. THE GOSPEL IN THE OLD Testament. Today, different people can hear the same gospel message very differently. How crucial, then, that we surrender ourselves in utter faith to the teaching of the Word so that when the gospel is preached, we hear it correctly.God intervenes to save us; He forgives our sins and puts “enmity” in us toward sin so that we can be “willing and obedient” (Isa. 1:19). One (Jesus) died for the many, bore their (our) iniquities, and justifies the undeserving. The new covenant is different from the old covenant because the law is written in the heart, and sins are “remember[ed] no more” (Heb. 8:12). In short, forgiveness and the new birth are a package: justification and sanctification represent God’s solution to the sin problem. These passages could be multiplied, for the message is the same throughout the Bible: despite our sin, God loves us and has done all that is possible to save us from it. How can we, as people who believe in the importance of keeping the law, protect ourselves from the error of believing that law-keeping is what justifies us? Why is that not always so easy to do? Have a blessed day and remember to tell someone about JESUS TODAY!!!.Love you all
