Meditate On
Therefore let it be known to you, brethren, that through
this Man is preached to you the forgiveness of sins; and by Him everyone who
believes is justified from all things from which you could not be justified by
the law of Moses.
Acts 13:38–39
Your
Part Is To Believe
If there’s a part for you to play in the new covenant of
grace it is simply this: to believe. So what does God want you to believe? He
wants you to believe in Jesus and His finished work, that you are completely
forgiven of all your sins and that Jesus’ blood cleanses you from all your
unrighteousness and lawlessness. And because of Jesus’ atoning sacrifice, God
wants you to believe with all your heart that He meant every word when He said,
“...I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their
lawless deeds I will remember no more” (Hebrews 8:12).
In God’s eyes today, you are made perfectly righteous by
Jesus’ finished work. The new covenant’s emphasis is to believe that you are
forgiven of every sin and that God has erased them from His memory. If you
don’t believe this, it will be impossible for you to depend on and expect God
to protect, provide for and bless you. If you don’t believe this, it will rob
you of the ability to receive His goodness, blessings, unmerited favor and success
in your life. So believe. Only believe!
