Jesus Paid All

And He Himself is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the whole world. (1 John 2:2) 

We are all sinners, and that makes it impossible for the Lord to receive us or relate to us; for the wages of sin is death, and He is not the God of the dead, but of the living. Jesus came on this tragic scene as the Lamb of God, who took away our sins by offering up His life in our place. Therefore, the righteous requirement of the law was fulfilled in Him. 

 

‘Propitiation’ means ransom or appeasement. Those who believe and receive Jesus have eternal life, now that the ransom has been paid and God’s wrath is appeased. 

 

Beloveds, the Cross of Christ is the central truth of all that exists in the universe. It is the only thing that truly matters. Do you believe and receive that?

No one will be able to offer God an acceptable excuse for rejecting or ignoring the Cross. Each one of us has been clearly shown the truth — that there is a God, He is good, and we need to come to Him on His terms before it is too late. Even the demons know that there is a God in heaven, and they tremble at the thought of His power and their eventual doom. 

 

Therefore, the entire world will be judged and held accountable to God's holy standard, and only those of us who have accepted His terms of peace will enter into His rest. His peace and His rest have a name — Jesus. Be sure to enter in. Today.   

 

Let’s Pray – Dear God, Jesus Christ is the truth, and there is no other. Thank You for revealing Your Son to me. Now, reveal Him through me. Amen.
