He Took My Sin On My Cross

The Bible says in John 3:16 "For God so loved the World that He gave His only begotten son, Jesus Christ, to die for our sins, that whosoever believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life."


In the verse above, the effect on us if the Lord did not die for our sins will be to Perish eternally.

That is what the law demanded and the law cannot bend for anyone. The full requirements of the law must be fully met and the consquences is very serious... the results impacts us forever and ever.


The Lord knew from the start that the Only way to save us would be for one perfect man to die and take our place on our behalf. The Lord know that the only person who qualifies is Himself.


The Lord did not relent.... He did not hold back.. He intended to come and die for us... and all the requirements for judgment for sins must be fulfilled and He wrote it in His will that He must do it.


Therefore we are now saved through the blood of Jesus Christ. We are now not separated from God by our sinful self.


So do not let the devil accuse you and say " You see... you sin right? You did that just a second ago? You mean you forgot? How can God's love be in you. Are you sure your sins are forgiven? Then you still sin for what?"


My Friends, we were sinners now saved by grace. Yes, like Paul says we do still struggle in our flesh... but do not let the devil distract you.. Tell the Devil, "Stop lieing to me!" and look to God and say, "Lord, thank you for the cross, let me live remembering that you died for me and set me free from the bondage of sin. Let me live and enjoy walking with you every day!"

And beloved as you take your eyes away from your failings and see God's grace in your life. You will be drawn to His love for you and very soon the very wrong practice that you do and fears will disappear and have no longer any place in your life.
