"It was not through law that Abraham and his offspring received the promise that he would be heir of the world, but through the righteousness that comes by faith. For if those who live by law are heirs, faith has no value and the promise is worthless, because law brings wrath. And where there is no law there is no transgression. Therefore the promise comes by faith, so that it may be by grace and may be guaranteed to all Abraham's offspring--not only to those who are of the law but also to those who are of the faith of Abraham. He is the father of us all." -Romans 4:13-16
We are justified through faith. Just-as-if-I'd-never-sinned... Christ's blood isn't for you to use to scrub off all your sins and clean yourself up... Christ's blood purges your stains the moment you turn to Him and accept that His sacrifice is a gift for you. You are blameless because you are covered in the blood of the Lamb. You know, it is so hard for us to accept that Christ's love is unconditional, and that His grace is enough to cleanse us from all our sin. No matter how many times we're told, we still think that we have to do something to earn His love. "So many in the Christian community are exhausted from trying to earn something that is FREE." Let me say that again: "So many in the Christian community are exhausted from trying to earn something that is FREE." Rest. Christ has already done the work.
"Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained access by faith into His grace in which we now stand. And we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God." -Romans 5:1-2
Rejoice in your salvation. Rest in the peace that you have been granted through the sacrifice of your Savior. Celebrate access to His grace. Embrace the hope of the glory of God.
